How to Save Money at West Caln Veterinary Clinic & Mobile 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.

The most caring and thorough vet care I have experienced in the 50+ years of owning multiple dogs in various towns. I was blessed that Dr. Atkinson was willing to accept my three newfoundlands into her care when I moved to the area a few years ago. I could tell from the very first appointment that we were in good hands and every interaction since has exceeded my expectations!

The best veterinarian! Dr. Atkinson discusses animal care and needs thoroughly with owner, responds to all questions, shows compassion and connection with my dog. The office staff and vet tech are invested in animals and are clearly dedicated to the health of every pet. West Caln Veterinary Clinic services are very reasonably priced. I highly recommend West Caln Clinic to all who want the BEST for their pet!

It had been a while since we have seen Dr. Denise, but she was very welcoming and understanding. We were supposed to bring a cat and her 2 kittens, but since they are outside we could only find the cat and 1 kitten,and she was very understanding. She was careful with both animals. This is why we wouldn't go to anyone else.

Dr. Atkinson and her staff are amazing!! I’ve been going to West Caln Vet for the past 8 years!! I’ve have used her mobile service as it was more convenient for me and my cats!! I trust Dr. Atkinson and her staff with my fur babies!! They truly care about your animals and their clients!! I would give a million stars if I could on this review. What other vet gives you her own person cell phone number to call her if you have an emergency??? She does!!! The best of the best right here!!!

I have been coming here for many years and several furbabies. Denise and her staff are wonderful and she has always been so kind to all of our furbabies.
