How to Save Money at Oak Ridge Animal Center

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.

Oak Ridge is seriously the best! Dr. S isn't just another vet, he becomes so familiar with your pet. I feel safe and am happy to take all of my babies to him. Dr. Freeman and Dr. Bower are both amazing aswell! Couldn't ask for a better team of veterinarians and staff!

Oak Ridge Animal Center has been nothing but amazing to all of my pets. Recently, my lab mix swallowed a razor blade and had to have emergency surgery to remove it. Dr. Freeman was quick to locate it on the X-rays, and was able to sedate and operate right away. I’m so grateful to her and all the vet staff for responding so quickly and truly treating her like their own pet. We have seen the other two vets there and they have been wonderful as well! I highly recommend this animal hospital, they are super accommodating with appointments and offer fair pricing.

So grateful for the veterinarian I had while staying in Lawton over this last summer. She was very compassionate, very helpful to my dog and myself during a very stressful time , and this was after my having an unpleasant racist experience at meadow wood animal hospital (a place i took my animals as a child). So imagine my relief again, during this trying time. Thanks again.

Best vet on the planet. Dr.Bower has been taking care of our dogs for nearly 2 decades and has helped us after hours and on weekends and never batted an eye.

I had a puppers emergency, and after calling 8 places, I was advised to contact Oak Ridge. Firstly, the sweetheart gentleman that took my call went above and beyond to help! I was provided an appt time within 2 hours and the vet tech was wonderful as well as my vet!!! Kudos to the entire team. I'm new to town and had yet to find a vet not only did they step up, they welcomed us wholeheartedly!! I'll keep them 100%!!! My advice, save yourself time and just contact them first!!! As far as pricing, I believe they were completely fair and not over charged!
