How to Save Money at Marlin Veterinary 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.

Dr. Caffey is amazing. I live way out in Bremond and our usual vet is over an hour away but when my dog got severely cut on his foot and was bleeding real bad I went here as a walk in and they got us back right away and she took very good care of him. Very reasonably priced too for an emergency/walk in appointment! Think we have found our new vet! 👍🏻😊🐕

Dr Jennifer Caffey and her team are the only ones I trust to care for my babies . She has seen me through the death of my beloved Chanel(Tiny Yorkie) and followed up to see how I was doing later that week. They are AMAZING and now care for my new Yorkie baby TEAL'C. AMAZING TEAM!

Absolutely horrible. Called about my 13 yr old dog who went lame and couldn’t walk anymore and stopped eating. They wouldn’t fit me in to euthanize my dog in pain, said I would have to wait a WEEK- she was my vet! I cannot tell you how horrible it is to have to call around trying to find someone to euthanize your dog in pain because your vet won’t bother fitting you in. they should not be allowed to practice. Edited to add- that is correct. I had only seen this Vet 2x. That’s because I’m new to the area and my dogs last Vet of 8 yrs was over 2 hrs away. When I called, there was nothing said about the doctor not being in town. I was told that there were no available appointments for a week. If a vet with a practice is unavailable for a week and does not have a back up for emergencies, that alone is reason not to see that Vet.
