How to Save Money at Emancipet

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 love Emancipet! The clinic is so clean! The staff is amazing! Everyone was so friendly and truly seemed to care about not just the animals but, the people, too! I have no air conditioning in my car and even though I had given water to my dogs, they were thirsty when we got there and the staff immediately got them a bowl of water without we even asking! They handled my dogs with love, they explained everything where I could understand. You were just awesome! Kudos to Shannon and Hector! Thank you for everything!

We've had a wonderful experience at Emancipet. We took our dog here for heartworm treatment, which consists of three injections on three separate days, plus follow ups later. This place offers low cost spay/neuter too so they are always packed first thing in the morning, however they have a separate line to check in for heartworm so we only had to wait a couple minutes. The staff was super friendly and informative. We received a summary after each appointment and a courtesy text message to let us know when he was ready for pickup. I highly recommend Emancipet to anyone!

I had a great experience and have been for the past 3 years or so, the staff is so genuinely caring to fur babies. My puppy's neutering surgery went well, they kept me informed, provided me with aftercare instructions, and followup. Very decent pricing, I will not switch this clinic for my fur baby's checkups. To all the wonderful staff, Thank you from both of us!

I found this place when I was looking for a spot to get Pearl fixed. They were affordable, which initially caught my eye. Although, they're a slight drive, it was well worth it. The staff is patient and caring. Pearl has high anxiety and isn't a big fan of men... the team was able to accommodate and patiently work with Pearl and I. I will definitely be coming around and recommending this place to my friends.
