How to Save Money at Preston Center Animal 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.

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.

I came to the open house today and was thrilled at this new location. It's very open and airy. The rooms have benches for the humans and lots of open space in the lobby. It's super clean. The staff are fantastic. I've trusted Dr Larry with my fur babies since 1999. Now my kitties see Dr Mueller and I couldn't be more happy. She is kind, compassionate and very informative. Lara, one of my favorite techs, has such a love for my little prince that she treats him like one of her own. All of the staff have a true love of animals and it shows. I can't imagine using any other animal clinic. I highly recommend!

We've been taking our now 15 year old boxer to Preston Center Animal Clinic for the last 12 years and staff are always kind and courteous. All three of our dogs have had every surgery, immunization, and check-up here and they are all in excellent condition thanks to the great care they are given at PCAC.

Dr. Mueller and Dr. Montgomery and their staff have done a terrific job taking care of our dogs. Our dogs are a little high maintenance at times but PCAC is always patient and willing to help on a last minutes notice. Would highly recommend!

Staff was great and worked with me as I got a health certificate for taking our dog to Bolivia ( which is not easy). Lara was very kind and patient with me as I navigated trying to get all the requirements done and called a lot!

The vets, techs, and individuals at PCAC are truly the most genuine, thoughtful, and caring. They care about each pet that walks in the door and the worried owner. They are very thorough and will not stop until they find the problem. I appreciate their customer service and expertise.
