How to Save Money at Southeast 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.

Southeast Animal Clinic is the best vet clinic I've ever been to. They have always gone above and beyond for my birds for the past 3 years. Dr. Harwell truly cares for my birds' well-being! He recently saved my cockatiel from an emergency situation and I can't thank him and other members at the clinic enough.

I rescue animals so I’ve been to plenty of vets and Dr. Harwell is the best out there. I’ve been taking my own pets and my rescued pets to him since I’ve moved to the area five years ago, but I wished I had known him longer than that. The first couple of years I felt the need to see other vets at times for other opinions, but Dr. Harwell’s diagnoses were so consistently accurate in every case that I fully trust him now. I truly feel blessed knowing his clinic is in my area.

I called to get an appointment for my sick lovebird the lady told me the clinic was closed on November 2 but later said she was going to call Dr. Harwell and was going to call back. They gave me an appointment on the day they were closed I can clearly see the love they have for animals. Well to make the story short my sick lovebird was taken into the clinic to test him, later Dr. Harwell came out and explain everything gave me medicine, and send me pictures of the correct way to give my little sick birdie his medicine. He also gave me some important papers of how sunlight is beneficial to birds, and the proper diet for birds. I am very thankful for the super great treatment and service they provided. Dr. Harwell, and his assistant deserve more than 5 stars ⭐️, I will never forget what they did for my birdie Andy. Millions of thanks!!

A wonderful and helpful animal clinic that is a good price range and extremely helpful, they make sure to address your concerns instead of just trying to get you out the door. While you cannot walk in with your pet inside the clinic due to the pandemic, they make sure to send you pictures of everything they do with your pet such as give medicine and weight them. He will also step out and discuss your pet's levels, what may be wrong and how to fix it. I must have had about a million questions and he took the time to answer each one of them! His delightfully helpful nurse also offered many helpful tips on how to get my bird to eat more vegetables and gave me many helpful pamphlets to ensure my bird lives a healthy long life! Even after the visit, I also got a call back a few days later just so they could check up on my pet's health and if the medicine had worked!!! Very caring I will definitely be back if I have any other concerns with my pet bird and have made sure to recommend Dr. Harwell's clinic to all of my friends!
