How to Save Money at Twin Oaks Veterinary 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.

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.

Love the doctor here and Sandra in the front desk is a lovely person. I am not sure where we would be at with our rescues without this Vet. Thank you doctor for helping us with Blinky's eye surgery, and for everything else you do to help us care for our rescues.

Positive experience. Had a feral female yard cat spayed, along with shots, nails clipped, flea med application, etc . Very fair pricing for feral cats, everything was done in less than 1 day----- Updated on 10-28-2021 --- Ellie, The daughter of Lacey ( Mom laying cloth in pic) has just been spayed today, and also have had a positive experience. The Doctor/Vet who performs the surgery does a very good job. -- Overall my only recommendation for Twin Oaks, is to have someone dedicated to the phones & appointment scheduling and customer receiving. Overall I know they are busy all the time, but the "process could be made easier for Twin Oaks and the customer ( maybe handheld computer tablet to be used for appointment checks, when customers arrive in the parking lot, or something)

Woman who answered the phone is beyond rude and aggressive. She starting screaming at me and hung up the phone on me. Apparently, they only work with "rescues" now, and don't offer low cost vet services to the public anymore either. So, what are pet owners supposed to do? Every low cost service is closed...and they don't even have the patience to explain or to recommend a different place to go. Im in tears because they screamed and wouldn't help me...or at least be kind & understanding. Cruel people.

Haven't been there physically for years but the experience since the start of COVID and going forward is horrible. They keep trying to bill me for the same invoice even though I paid it the day of service, May 2019, and they keep sending me emails asking me to pay. They also rudely denied an urgent request for an appointment when I thought something was seriously wrong with my cat (there was) and told me to go somewhere else as they already had a few appointments.

Kind staff. I go there to spay/neuter ferral cats. Staff freely advised on my dog's nails. Generous with information. Sometimes can be busy on Monday late afternoon- so call ahead to make sure animal is ready for pickup. Check for limited weekend hours.
