How to Save Money at Animal Care 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.

Got us in fast for an emergency. The vet didn't rush through our appointment and patiently answered all of our questions.

I have been taking my dogs to this clinic for years. I took my dog in for limping for the 3 years that we have had the dog and they said she had arthritis and was giving us medication for arthritis. My dog started limping more and we called the clinic and Dr. Hagi which we always like to see was booked up. So we were going to wait to see him but the dog seemed to get worse so after a few days we made an appointment with Dr. Kemp. When we brought the dog home she could not even put her paw on the floor no longer just a limp. It was the end of the week I called and told them how unhappy I was and they said Dr. Hagi could not be seen until Monday. I took dog in now her ACL needs surgery and she has hip problems. And he said this has been going on for awhile which is news to me. She had arthritis. So I thought. I complained about Dr. Kemp and Dr. Hagi yelled at me. Then told me my dog needed surgery. I came home with feelings hurt about being yelled at and found another vet to go to. I called Dr. Hagi's office and told them I would like copies of records. The records were picked up and they made it sound like we did not take the dog in until days later just because not that we were waiting for appointment. and they said we declined xrays which were never mentioned to do. I am so sad that they did this to try to cover there back sides. They lied and cannot be trusted. My dog is going to suffer because of them. After all these years I am really sad about them doing this to us and my poor dog.

This is a great clinic for your pets! The staff has great customer service skills. Everyone is so kind and helpful. I've seen each doctor and all were kind, understanding, and very thorough when looking at our pets. It really is a great vet clinic!

Very disappointed and upset right now. I came in to do an ear cropping for my new puppy and I was quoted at 395 for the whole operation including everything required to do the procedure. I ended up receiving a bill for over $500 dollars. I should’ve walked out and not even payed the bill. Very poor communication and customer service. I would tread carefully if you decide to go here.
