How to Save Money at Village Animal Clinic LLC

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 have been visiting this vet for years now and I can’t recommend them enough! Dr. Brown gives the absolute best care and so do the technicians. Plus the services are always so much more affordable than any other clinic I have visited. I moved further away than where I used to live, but I will still go out of my way and make the drive to come here because they are just that good!! I will never stop recommending Village Animal Clinic to people looking for quality affordable vets! Thanks for all that you guys do!!!

Dr. Brown has been a wonderful vet to both of my dogs. She isn’t pushy, but tells it like it is. Her prices aren’t through the roof either, and the staff are very friendly. I would highly recommend!

I don’t care for this vet. When I was trying to find out where to go I asked the receptionist, you’re by the smoke shop Poor girls right? She had no idea what I was talking about and when we got there you can see it’s right next door. They made us sit in the car for over half an hour because they didn’t even have room for us to come in and sit. Why make so many appointments at the same time that you can’t even accommodate people? That makes no sense to me at all. Once we got in there it took no more than 10 minutes which I appreciate but we shouldn’t have had to sit outside and wait. When I made the appointment they made me pay for the visit in advance before they would even give me an appointment so when it was time to check out I was only supposed to have to pay $20 for the rabies shot and they wanted $15 more on top of that for a fecal test they never said I would have to pay extra for, what’s the $42 I paid for even cover? The 5 minutes with the Dr? That’s just unbelievable. The receptionist told us to come to room 1, walked away and she didn’t show us or even tell us where to go so we walked into the wrong door and and the staff just looked at us like how dare you come through this door. Yes the staff was nice but by the time they left us outside and the time we waited inside, our dog was losing it. He’s just a small dog but apparently my daughter wasn’t holding him right so she made the nurse come in and hold him so she could listen to him, I didn’t care for that either. All the Dr had to do was tell my daughter how to hold him. She wasn’t upset about that but I was. I don’t see the point of paying over $70+ for a vaccine and to have them listen to him, it’s not worth all that. They really need to do something about their prices, I doubt they will but it should be considered. All of this just so we can get him groomed. If there was someplace closer, I would go there instead.

We love Dr. Brown. She is knowledgeable, she listens, she understands, and she educates us when requested or needed. The staff is warm, friendly, and professional. My fur family and I are proud to be a part of the "Village" Animal Clinic. They treat their patients with care, love, and compassion.

My fur baby Bubbles first visit. Dr Brown and associates treated Bubbles with respect and kindness. While not loosing a beat of professionalism. This is Bubbles first experience and after she reacted great. This vet office was recommended for my fur baby and I definitely recommend it to other parents of fur babies.
