How to Save Money at Windhorse Veterinary Acupuncture

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. Teresa took the time and care to check over my boxer before starting any treatment. We discussed options and best plan of action. Highly recommend over just giving you dog pills and hoping for the best.

I brought my dog into Dr. Roster today because she was limping and showing signs of rib pain. The doc helped me understand what she was doing, worked slowly and gently to keep my dog comfortable, and by the end of the appointment, my dog was undoubtedly happy with the treatment! Dr Roster even taught me what signs to watch for in case she ever gets out of whack again, plus a way to help her stretch at home. 100% great value!

So grateful to have Dr. Roster sharing her experience and knowledge in Acupuncture and Chiropractic Care for animals. Her calm demeanor creates a soothing environment for the pets she works with. If your pet needs support in these areas, this is who I recommend.

Very holistic vet that isn't pushy and wanting just your money. She truly cares about the pets and was able to diagnosis an issue with our dog that our vet did not. It is nice to meet vets that cares about your pet like you do! Definitely recommend!

I am so impressed with friendliness. My dog Henry really enjoyed his treatment. I was explained everything the vet was doing. Henry is so relaxed. I'm so relieved that he's getting the help he needs to help his pain
