How to Save Money at excellence plus farms and veterinarian services

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.

Dr. Peters takes the time to eduate and answer questions and concerns. Our dogs are actually client of his and he has been for many years. He's the best veterinarian I've met. I drive the extra hour for his expertise and honesty. Also please don't let inaccurate, felonious threats from non clients dictate your review process.

We have had many different pets cared for by Doc Peters over the 25 year period we have known him. He has always been straightforward and courteous in a day and age when every single other "veterinary clinic" we have dealt with seems like a cash collection machine. They all seem to be competing to do as little as they possibly can while lining their pockets with all kinds of money for (what often end up being) unnecessary tests and procedures. Doc Peters is a modern day James Herriott. We love him!

Ron Peter's should not be allowed to have a license to be a vet. He told me that my dog had a pancreatic rumor that ruptured and the prognosis was grim. He said we would have to leave him there over night and if he made it then maybe he would do exploratory surgery the next day. Well the next day came and he never called. So I went there. The secretary told me that I couldn't see my dog bc the vet wasn't there....well I went in anyways...my dog way lying very ill on the floor next to the running dryer and the room was what felt like 90degrees. I told him I was taking my dog bc if he was going to die he was going to die at home. I immediately took him to another vet who quickly performed a chest X-ray and found my dog to have bloat. Bloat is what can happen to large dogs stomach and cause the intestines to twist and die off and therefore the dog dies...they performed a 4 hour surgery and my dog lived. Had a I left my dog at Ron Peter's he would've have undoubtedly died next to a running dryer alone with no family....He is cruel and unprofessional to say the least. He had no idea what was wrong with my dog but yet he diagnosed and gave a grim prognosis anyway....which was wrong.
