How to Save Money at Clifton Veterinary 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.

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.

We had a very bad experience with the VET. One of our dogs got into a fight with other dogs and was bleeding out. We arrived and couldn't get them to let us in to help our pet, who was lying in the car ding. He bleed out and then passed away while they were at lunch. So, in closing, if you have an emergency, do not doing you be loved pet to these people. The owner called and was very upset with the staff over the phone. The vet called back asking for an apology and showed no sympathy for the loss of the pet. Just keep this in mind when choosing them, keep them as a last resort.

They gave me flee medication for my dog and she ended up scratching worse. I don’t recommend coming here. You can see my email when you respond to me. You do have my name in the system. My dog Tito was taken there for her vaccinations and then we asked for flea medicine. And now she is scratching badly because of what y’all gave us. Please save y’all’s time and go somewhere else.

You must have the mindset of a veterinarian in order to use their services, or they will just do the minimal amount of care, charge you outrageous prices knowing your pet needs more test and you'll bring your pet back the next day to actually demand proper test. Then they charge you again knowing what was wrong with your pet in the 1st place. So if you are not a Vet or someone who knows what test your pet needs done DONT use them. Because they dont care about your pet, just swipping your credit card. The 1st vist $164.00 second Visit the VERY NEXT DAY $ 148.00 Then wouldn't take the pet in and treat it until the 3rd day! Then Also charging $600 more to keep the pet because they messed up and didn't test the pet correctly.

Yesterday was a difficult day as I said farewell to sweet Little Bit. I want to recognize the entire staff at the Clifton Veterinary Clinic for the compassion and kindness shown to me during this difficult time. Thank you most graciously.

Staff were very friendly and comforting to us when we had to recently let go of our family cat of 20 years. Afterwards, they gently and kindly brought him to the car in a burial bag with his name wrote on it with a heart. They went above and beyond to show us they really care about our family and pet.
