How to Save Money at 610 Pet Lodge

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.

Holly and the staff has kept our Aussie puppy since she was tiny! No issues she did get kennel cough once but they provided the medication we will return thanks staff! Groomer named Xavier is amazing as well!

Horrible!!!! They performed unnecessary cosmetic surgery on my dog with out permission!! This happened about 4 months ago. They have not provided me with any ID the necessary vet medical records, will not provide name of vet who performed the surgery, nor have they provided me a way to make this situation whole!! They called me after they performed the surgery and stated the reason is because they had 4 animals with the same name, but my dog had clear substance difference!! DO NOT UTILIZE THIS BUSINESS FOR ANYTHING!! They will make this type of catastrophic mistake and try and ignore you for any type of resolution!

Holly is amazing. She's been a vital part of my bosses rescue for years now. She goes above and beyond what she has to do everytime we bring a dog to her. For all her tender ways and efforts in helping us keep helping the lost fur babies of this world, a BIG THANK YOU! The world is a better place because your in it. I would recommend 610 pet lodge for any of your pets nonemergency needs!
