How to Save Money at Sunflower Veterinary 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.

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.

We weren’t actually looking for a new vet, but when our dog became ill a week ago I scheduled an appointment to see Dr Stacey at Sunflower Vet in Fogelsville (in the Weis shopping center). It was a great experience. The clinic was smaller than the one we’ve gone to for years, but it was super clean and comfortable. The receptionist and techs were very pleasant and were excited to meet our dog. Dr Stacey did a thorough exam on our dog and laid out treatment options to discuss, with a very straightforward and easy to read estimate of costs for every option. This is something we hugely appreciated-not the norm and we are often shocked by the cost of the visit at our old vet clinic. Staff, including the doctor, followed up every day and continued to log our dog’s progress and suggest alterations to the treatment plan as needed. In addition to a standard phone system, they have an option to text conversations if you miss their call or are otherwise engaged. A great option during the workday. Anyhow, all this to say, we have a new vet for our menagerie. If you’ve been considering finding a new vet or getting a second opinion, we would recommend Sunflower Vet for their service, care, and ease of use.

I went to their open house over the weekend, and then brought my cat in for a checkup today. All the staff there are just incredible, so friendly and so compassionate! The Dr is great too, I felt that her work was thorough and she did a great job of explaining my cat’s health risks and presenting a comprehensive care plan for her. I could not recommend them more highly!

I brought my beloved 16 year old cat to Sunflower because her health was declining rapidly and the veterinarian I would normally take her to was out of town. Sunflower scheduled us immediately and we were treated so kindly from the moment we stepped inside. After an exam and some bloodwork I was told she was in serious kidney failure. Everything was explained clearly and I was given options but chose to put her down. The doctor and the technicians treated this heartbreaking situation with such compassion. They made me feel so comfortable and cared for. I would recommend this clinic to anyone and would give them 10 stars if possible. Thank you girls for taking such great care of Tallulah and me.

Visited for an appointment with my cat for a wellness check and vaccination. The appointment was easy to schedule. Wonderful veterinary practice, everyone was friendly and helpful. Reasonable pricing as well. My first of many visits.

I recently visited Sunflower Vet Center, and I was highly impressed with their services. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Dr. Scanlon showed genuine care and compassion towards my pup making both me and my pet feel comfortable and at ease. I had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend Dr. Scanlon to others.
