How to Save Money at Powell Veterinary Center At Westmoreland

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.

Friendly and very kind staff, both the tech we met and the vet were lovely and interested in my pet's overall wellbeing. We went for a check up and shots and they made time to just ask how kitty was doing and if we had any questions or general thoughts or concerns we could chat about. Overall great experience here!

Best vet experience I’ve had. Every person who I have interacted with at both locations was so friendly and empathetic. Vets treat my dog like he’s theirs. Appointments are easy to get- at VCA, there was always at least a month wait for any visit which can equal lots of money in urgent care. I am so happy I found this clinic!

We brought our kitty girl in for what was initially a pre-scheduled appointment, but ended up being a bit more of a thing. Kitty-girl decided that morning that she was not feeling well, but Powell Veterinary Center staff were so lovely and let us bring her in early to be evaluated between appointments. I will be forever grateful for how flexible, kind, and understanding everyone was. I'm so glad we found this veterinary clinic for our fur baby. You can just tell the staff are caring and that your family members are in good hands when they come here. Thank you to everyone who works there!

I love our vet clinic! My dog was ill recently and they got us in quickly, were very supportive, explained everything along the way, and were just overall amazing to work with. I am so appreciative of everything they have done to help us and the pup!
