How to Save Money at Dose's Pet Vets
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. Dose is an amazing Vet! He is super kind and friendly and does a wonderful job with my 2 dogs, Mimey Boo Boo and Buster Puff. He is also very affordable and easy to get in to see. I highly recommend him and his lovely wife. Michelle

Best vet ever for small dogs and cats. We brought our dog mocha in for dental care. The vets are very friendly, helpful, and clearly care about animals. Their prices are also outstandingly affordable. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you

They have treated my 3 dogs & cat. I appreciate the honesty and straight to the point. My only concern is being charged a fee on my cc transaction. This was pointed out in the email they sent after I already paid for 2 appts on a card. I had no time to get $ after I read email before picking up dog. I paid a huge fee on $400 surgery. Such is life. All of my animals are happy, healthy & comfortable as can be.

I love Dr.(s) Dose. Affordable, great care. The world would be a better place if there were more vets (and people) like them.

Look no further! Dr. Tom Dose and Dr. Sharon Dose are the #1 veterinarians in all of Northern Nevada when it comes to your canine and feline dental care needs. Besides being the best, they are very reasonably priced. They don’t service large dogs, I believe the weight limit is 35 lbs. I’d give them 10 stars if I could!
