How to Save Money at Good Neighbor Vet
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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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 actually haven't had my puppy's first appointment yet but, out of all the vets I called for pricing and information. The people at good neighbor vet didn't make it seem like I bothered them calling. A lot of the places I called were cold, short, rude, said well were booking 2 months out. Like I should of known that. Eay over priced, one place I called, off main st Springfield Said, there 4way was 169.00 and the flea treatment 80.00 and the rabies was 78.00, I said are the rabies tags gold? But good neighbor vet by far made me feel at ease. That was just on the phone. Well see how the in person goes.

I've had such a good experience with this group! Affordable vet care can be tricky and getting a new vet can be hard with wait-lists. GNV is first come, first serve but run a well oiled machine. I suggest you visit the incredibly transparent website. Up front about costs and the techs and vets are very nice.

These guys have never failed me, or my pet. Very convenient, and dependable. Show up early as it's first come first serve, and the wait can be long. Please stand in line, too. If you're in your vehicle, you're not first in line. Remember they are doing US a service, they don't need to deal with petty bickering. Have a blessed day!
