How to Save Money at Value Vet Main St.

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.

SPEND A LITTLE TO LOSE A LOT…. Value vet just may be a little too “value” for a loved one you consider a family member. I brought in a rescue pup, his chip identified as 8 yrs old shih tzu, for a head to toe check up and vaccines. Vet looked him over ~looked~ for an assessment and said he was good to go! When I got home, my boyfriend and I (both medical professionals) noticed multiple loose teeth. So loose- that you could barely touch and teeth would move… This explained why he wouldn’t chew on bones or would only want soft food. Such a shame the vet couldn’t just do a thorough examination and was willing to leave a dog, with owners who just may not have known any better, in pain for only God knows how long. Do you and your loved one a favor and go to professionals who are trusted and valued.

My dog Abby needed a small tumor removed and it had me really worried as it was hurting her and she was losing weight. She was treated very, very well and was given snacks before and after sutures were removed and she didn’t seem near as nervous. This time it was ME that was nervous! But she needs some bloodwork done and they’re only gonna charge 100 something which is a good couple hundred bucks less than other places! Thank goodness for Value Vet. Highly recommend.

I went to value vet after them being recommended by a relative. My dog is a rescue who is reactive to strangers and when meeting new people because of her trauma and abuse she suffered. She only trusts women and my husband. When we got here, I explained the circumstances and how my pup is. The front desk staff were understanding and quick to get her checked in. They accommodated her and took some time to establish some trust before starting the exam. The vet we saw was the best vet we’ve ever gone to. Dr. Bertke was so patient and understanding the needs of our dog. We will definitely be going back and highly recommend this place.
