How to Save Money at Best Care Pet Hospital
Schedule Regular Vet Visits
One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.
Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions
Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.
Pet Insurance
Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask
Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:
Tell me about your experience with [pet type].
Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.
How do you handle emergencies?
You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
How do you communicate with pet owners?
Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.
Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?
Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.
Do you have any questions for me about my pet?
This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.
Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?
Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

Dr. B is good with bunnies! I needed an exotics vet closer to home. My bunny had to get his tail amputated as it was fractured. The staff was very kind to me and the bunny, took good care of him and kept him overnight to make sure he did okay. He came home and ate a treat immediately, they never made him nervous and they said he ate quite a bit while there which is normal for him. His movement is already faster than a couple days ago but I can tell adjusting to having no tail is a bit odd for him. He came home happier and that's a sign of a very good vet clinic! I could have used an update throughout the day since he was there a while before they got to him, but I think they were a bit understaffed that day. Just call they will let you know what's going on. Staff is all kind and respectful to humans and animals. Thank you for helping Harry!

I love this vet! We've been taking our dogs here for like 20 yrs. We used to goto Heartland in Bellevue but they did some shady stuff that was more money focused than pet care so we switched and never looked back. We have no vet preference because they are all amazing. Dr B. saved my Boston Terriers life when he decided to chew up and swallow an entire rope tug toy. Another vet recommended a shot that changed our Boxers entire quality of life for the better from chronic itching. My parents even switched to this vet with their 4 dogs because of us. I will never ever go anywhere else! Best vet in the Omaha metro area!

They were more then willing to see our pig - very polite doctor, and very knowledgeable. He did not let us leave without feeling good about the options needed when it came to our piggy. Very reasonable prices and we will be coming again!

My daughter and I came in today to see Dr. Bosilevac for our new corn snake. We came in for just a "establish care" visit and I am so beyond grateful we came to Best care! The staff was so kind and welcoming and took care of everything and the Dr was Incredible! He gave our snake a extensive exam and even let us know that we had a little girl snake! The staff and the Dr give top notch care and I will forever recommend Best Care!

I had to put my D.A.Gough down on the 9th of November. Best Care is the most loving and compassionate place anyone could ever take their pets. Thank you Dr. B.
