How to Save Money at Smiley Veterinary Clinic

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.

Getting 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.

I have been taking my dogs to Smiley Veterinary Clinic for years who Dr Smiley and Dr Jake treat for any and all issue. I am actually on my 3rd dog Cooper who is now their current patient too. Both Dr Smiley and Dr Jake are fantastic as is Sam and Duffy too! Their knowledge and dedication to their craft is just second to none! If in need of a true thorough and professional vet, please give them a Smiley Veterinary a call.

Unfortunately we will no longer use Dr. Smiley because his receptionist is a reaaaalllll wench. Completely rude and condescending. Don't waste your time or oxygen speaking with her. It's sad because Dr. Smiley provided great care for our dogs.

I was recommended to Dr. Smiley by a friend. After finally getting in touch with them, they said I can't make an appointment without a $35 deposit, but they don't take credit cards! So, I had to drive there to give the deposit in cash. The moment I opened the front door I was hit by a strong smell of urine and as I looked around the entry it was dark and dirty. I walked up a steep ramp into the "reception" area that still stunk. The place was dusty and dirty and behind the front desk everything was a mess, papers all over the place. I could see the exam rooms did not have doors, they had curtains. I've had Giant breeds and thought that a curtain wasn't going to keep an unwilling dog in an exam room! I thought that was not safe. If a large dog got out of their own room and into the exam room that had a client with a small dog, things could get out of hand very quickly. I was looking for a practice not owned by a corporation, but I wasn't looking for a place that was smelly, dusty, and had no doors on the exam rooms. I had a strange feeling about how long it took them to return a call, the fact that their recording says that they are closed from 12-2 pm and that if your pet has an emergency you should go to the emergency hospital, and then the deposit in cash. At that point I decided to leave without speaking to them or leave a cash deposit. You can call and see if you have a quicker response, and I suggest that you visit before giving a deposit. I don't know if the doctors are good (it's a father/son team with the wife/mother at the desk) but the facilities didn't impress.

Took my 6 month old healthy puppy to get fixed here yesterday, he didn’t come home, our hearts are broken. They have no idea what happened. Maybe it wasn’t the vets fault but seems weird to me my puppy was perfectly healthy and up to date on everything. Just absolutely devastated.

In 20 years this is the first veterinarian I have found that is into this line of work because they love animals. Family owned and ran and its a relief when you find a provider whose main goal isn't only money. Every other vet charges for every little thing and makes you bring your animal in every issue to charge the visit fee even if they are acurrent active patient just doing the most to make money. I brought 2 animals in one time and was shocked when i was only charged one office visit charge. Previously everytime i was charged for each animal regardless of one appointment time and slot. Thats just one example. Then to be quoted double to 3 times the amount from every other vet for anything I've asked for quotes for is ridiculous to me. Vets and dentists are not regulated by medicare like health insurance and it should be because most these vets are doing way to much and lost focus of why they went into that field in the first place.What a relief and hats off to Smileys for having morals, being fair and doing good business. Thankyou to them because animals find me and it can be expensive to take them in and they make it possible. They came highly recommended and i am greatful to have found them. I would never take my animals anywhere else now.period!
