How to Save Money at Brighton Eggert Animal Clinic and Pet Resort

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 like the way u don’t have to walk very far or climb stairs to get from my car to the office. The office itself is spacious. It helped ease the tension & anxiety my dog always has by the vet & assistant getting on the floor to make friends with my dog - so kind. They also took the time to make sure my dog’s harness was on just right-so important because my dog tends to wiggle right out. It would be nice if they had a jar of treats at the main desk because my dog is always used to getting a treat when the appointment is over. It would be safer if some type of fence was put up near the road so if any dog breaks away that they wouldn’t be so close to the street. I highly recommend this choice for vet care. I was very pleased with how thorough & pleasant the staff was. Ty! 😊

I've been going to Brighton Eggert Animal Clinic for many years and trust them with my fur babies. The knowledge they share is so helpful and the compassion they exhibit is spot on. The support staff are always so busy but are still able to treat each person with respect and patience. Keep up the good work for all employees and Dr's. at Brighton Eggert Animal Clinic.

Had an emergency with our dog on Sunday, Mother's day. Called the emergency clinic for an appointment and they got us an appointment within 2 hours. They explained to us what was going on and gave us 4 medication to go home with and it was 300 dollars. Which I did not think was bad for an emergency visit and all the meds. They referred us to an eye specialist to make sure our dog had the best out come. Very happy with the care our dog had. Dr. Mahoney was wonderful!! This is not my regular vet....but thinking of changing now.

When I walked in the waiting room, it was very crowded so I thought it was going to be a very long wait but they were very organized. I was put in a room quickly and the doctor came in not long after. The doctor was very thorough and kind. She even called me that night, which was a Friday to give me additional information she discovered after further analysis of the samples she took and wanted to put our dog on an antibiotic. She didn’t want the weekend to go by without him having his medicine. It was the best experience I’ve had yet at this office. Check out was very positive as well!!

We happened upon BEAC through word of mouth and are very happy that we did. Their staff is very professional and courteous. The veterinarians are extremely helpful and are willing to go the extra mile to help you understand what is best for your animal. Even as we stared the inevitable down, the respect and care they showed our dog was incredibly uplifting. They truly helped us to make a difficult and painful decision easier to cope with and they continue to show us support with cards and messages weeks later. I'm very grateful for this clinic and will continue to utilize them for veterinary needs.
