How to Save Money at Terry County Veterinary Hospital
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.

Jim has taken care of all our fur babies since birth with no problems. Last year had a problem with a guy vet tech very rude he said our dog would die cause he is mean. I called Jim back after leaving told him the situation Jim said that should have never happened and he took care of it. We went back with our dog two weeks ago was very happy with Jim and his vet techs they were very sweet. We do miss Tracy up front cause she was right on the ball with ever thing. Take care all.

Our family dog had an acute infection, that actually caused him to go blind. It was heartbreaking. Dr. Johnson explained everything in great detail so we understood, the staff was amazing! We truly felt concern, compassion and kindness from everyone there. Thank you so much! Chromie and the rest of the Bruton family.

Maybe they're better with farm animals... but dogs? In my one time experience, my dog and I did not have a pleasant experience. Firstly, why do they keep the dog the night before surgery if they're not doing blood work? I took my dog in at 4pm the day before surgery. She hadn't eaten since 4am and I asked if they could feed her (even brought her food) and I was told they were not allowed to eat. WHY?!? It's understandable to not have them eat past 10pm but at 4? When it's been 12 hours since they last ate and then I pick her up at 4pm the next day and they said not to feed her until the next morning. That's 36 hours without food... an 8lbs dog who could have blood sugar problems. I thought when I got her she was crying because of pain... no. She was so hungry. I fed her a tiny bit of chicken and rice that I made and she was content afterward. When I got her, they handed her to me and I realized she had silver all over her belly. I know it's supposed to be an antibiotic mix but having it all over the place? Her incision was put together unevenly... and then I got to my car and realized she had dry feces all over her butt! You keep them overnight..for no valid reason.. you could at least have someone there to let them out to use the bathroom, and if they have an accident, CLEAN THEM! I got home and realized they had charged me $12 for a nail trim but didn't even trim her nails. Although the reimbursed me, it makes me wonder if they remembered to give her the $35 pain shot I signed for. Today is day 5 post op. The surgical glue/silver mix flaked off and when it came out (which I'm assuming was way too early) her incision split open. I took her into another vet and they were sour faced about how her incision looked. They gave her antibiotics and said to watch it. when I got home from work I realized it was bleeding. Needless to say, $200, another sedation, 3 hours later my puppy is finally SUTURED up and on her way to recovery. Oh, and you might want to get another phone line if the line is going to remain busy 98% of the day.

Terry County Vet is the BEST ! I can always trust that my animals are well taken care of. The staff is always so sweet and caring. Even though they stay booked they always find a way to squeeze my animals in. The techs there do a wonderful job on making sure my animals are clean and well taken care of.
