How to Save Money at Cross County Veterinary Service

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.

Wonderful service. Was able to get appointment next day and they took great care of my pet and took time to answer all our questions. Didn’t feel like they were rushing just to get us out quick.

I have a very elderly dog that was feeling under the weather. The crew here took extremely good care of her. They were patient, helpful, and explained everything to me. Top notch and caring. Thank you so very much for getting my baby back to feeling good and being top boss dog at work again!!

Our experience with Dr. Pitkin was nothing short of exceptional. Our calf was in distress, and we needed immediate assistance. Despite the late hour, he responded promptly and arrived at our farm early the next morning. From the moment Dr. Pitkin and his vet tech stepped onto our property, their expertise and professionalism were evident. They assessed the situation swiftly, calmly, and with a reassuring demeanor that immediately put me at ease. Their knowledge of cattle health was impressive, and they wasted no time in diagnosing the issue and outlining a treatment plan. What truly stood out was Dr. Pitkin's genuine care and compassion for our calf. It was evident that they were not only there to provide medical assistance but also to ensure the well-being and comfort of our animal. They explained each step of the treatment process thoroughly, answering all of my questions and alleviating any concerns I had. Their dedication and commitment to their profession were truly commendable. Thanks to Dr. Pitkin's prompt action and expertise, our calf is now hopefully on the road to recovery. We cannot express enough gratitude for their outstanding service during our time of need. We highly recommend Dr. Pitkin to any farmer or small farm homesteader in need of veterinary care, especially during emergencies. They are a true lifesaver and we are incredibly thankful to have them in our community.
