How to Save Money at Animal Dermatology Clinic

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.

Dr. Lewis is so genuine, caring and knowledgeable. She makes us feel so comfortable and informed every time we visit. The staff are also amazing about working with our needs and requests with our reactive boy. We could not be more grateful for what Dr. Lewis has done for our Great Dane, Colt. He had so much lameness and we had visited 5 prior veterinarians to be seen for this. No one could figure it out until we met Dr. Lewis at Animal Dermatology Clinic and she was able to resolve his issue. He acts like a puppy again now!

We were able to be seen quickly due to a cancellation and the staff were very thorough and knowledgeable. They were very accommodating to get my dog tested the same day to start his allergy treatment. The course of care he was recommended is already giving him some relief already. We are optimistic this treatment will have him feeling more comfortable long term.

Very caring and friendly folks. It was raining and they gave me a towel to dry my dog. Dr Lewis treated my dog after being seen by 2 other veterinarian offices had not been successful. Dr Lewis has made my dog 95% better in 30 days of treatment. I cannot thank this practice enough for helping us. My dog is almost 100% now a little after a month. Dr Lewis has cured my dog after my dog had suffered an ear issue for months prior to seeing Dr Lewis. God Bless Dr Lewis she is awesome
