How to Save Money at ACE of Paws
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.

We adopted a shelter dog that had just had hip surgery, was really struggling with walking and had no ability to get over even the lowest obstacles. We did a course of treatment at Ace for 6 months which really helped her, and now she is clambering up steep hills and jumping over fallen trees. The staff were great and the treatment really changed her life, we're very grateful!

They were great with my best bud Apollo! He was given poor odds from the start, but Ace of Paws gave him the best chance possible. Unfortunately, he never recovered, but the compassionate work they did made those last few months tolerable for both Apollo and his family. Can't thank you all enough!

I had a 15 year old chihuahua who was passing due to old age. It was late about 11 pm, me and my husband found this place. We didn’t want our baby girl to suffer any longer so we decided to put her down. They had us in the room for hours they kept forgetting about us. The waiting room Was empty there was no excuse for it. We could hear the employees outside the room laughing and talking while I sat there holding my baby girl in my arms dying and suffering until until they finally decided to help. Never will I go there again. Horrible experience

These folks are absolutely amazing, I was able to help my dog (kid) with his pain and I truly believe it help manage his pain in his final days. I strongly recommend Ace of Paws and they are worth looking into if your dog is in pain. They showed so much love and compassion to my mister Kraken in his end days. Thank you

Ace of Paws always goes the extra mile for their clients. And they never back down from a challenge! I have been bringing Talon to ACE nearly since they opened. As he as aged and his condition changes, they are right there with support and advice and new therapies. No way we would have made it this far without them ❤️
