How to Save Money at Eureka Veterinary Services PC
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.

It's difficult to believe that local veterinary clinics would ignore serious problems with feral cats. Every town with a veterinary clinic that is owned by Dr. Holly Roe-Johnson has a serious and devastating feral cat issue. I first brought this issue to Eureka Vet and they told me to go somewhere else. I then took it upon myself to buy traps and start trapping the feral cats myself and paid full price for these services through Eureka Vet. From the start they were rude to me and difficult to deal with even talking badly about me to another local cat lover. I think that guilt guides their behavior. The 4 cats I paid to be neutered and spayed all did not receive the proper eartipping and each time I mentioned this to the employee I dealt with. Looking point blank at the face of each 4 cats I could not see a notch or eartip. Of course this is the only reason to tip the ear. They told me they did a deep and narrow notch because of blood veins involved. Of course this is nonsense but I kept trying. Finally I sent them a message with links to vets who work on feral cats and that they all cut the tip off and none of them notch deep in to the ear. Again this is so anyone can see that they are fixed, wild cats. This made them so mad that Bill Brower messaged me that they will no longer provide services for me. When I called he refused to allow me to speak to the actual owner. Bill Brower is simply a guy who answers the phone. I made it clear I must speak to the owner and Dr. Holly Roe-Johnson did then call me back and told me I was fired as a client, lol. They were very over-sensitive from the beginning and angry. I think it has to be due with me bringing them feral cats to fix when they did not want to do so. Again, they first told me to go elsewhere from the first contact regarding feral cats. I've been doing this kind of work most of my life and many vets do not want to work on feral cats. Dr. Holly Roe-Johnson only considers her point of view as a vet. What is not understood is that ear tagging is for those who work with these cats, those who trap them and get them fixed. With no way of being able to see that they are already fixed, those who do this difficult work might target a cat who is already fixed. We might trap them and hold them and take them to a vet. Again the ear-tagging is 100 percent for the trappers, not for the vets. Closed minded fools can not learn and only see things from their own point of view. Of course they will respond to this by claiming, as they have, that I was "rude". Tell me how I was rude...for bringing in feral cats? For asking over and over that the ear be tipped properly? I will continue my work using caring decent vets. It's not all about money

Sophia was awesome with my German short hair that sliced her ear open on bar wire. They were funny and kept me from fainting with all the blood. They said it was obvious I was not a doctor. Great experience, caring knowledgeable people. I’m not sure of the nurses name, she was exceptional as well. My wife says to pass along the thanks for taking care of one of her four legged kids.

The pup got a checking over and some meds to put her on the path to getting well. Excellent service and compassion. Thanks a million!!!

I had 2 dogs spayed in one day. The service was great, my dogs recovered well. I definitely recommend Eureka Veterinary service.
