How to Save Money at Quitman 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.

I have to brag on how amazing Dr. Smith and his team! Our Stella fur baby had a routine spay from a “different” clinic! Well she got a bad infection! The first clinic could not see or work on her. We had to make an appointment, which would be several days out! But Dr Smith and his team took her without hesitation, last minute on a Friday afternoon! Not only did they fix our baby but the LOVE they had for her was incredible! Picking her up this afternoon, I could hear all the ladies telling her goodbye and loving on her from the other side of the wall! ❤️🥰❤️🥰!! I have to say hands down they are the best!! I highly recommend!! I can’t thank them enough!! ❤️🥰❤️

Today we laid to rest our beautiful boy Baloo all the staff was unbelievable graces with what we was going through. The entire time we was there the Doctor was so gentle and his assistant was so caring so understanding, I was so heartbroken but they made my Baloo completely comfortable and was so sweet. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The Hernandez family appreciate all you do

This was my first time here. My cat had an infected paw and they got me in within 30 minutes. The staff is very nice. They treated my fur baby with care and they helped alleviate the issue. I am going back in a week for a follow up. If you're new to the area or looking for a vet, I highly recommend them.

We brought our little dog to Quitman Animal Clinic with a bad problem and from the front desk to the veterinary techs to Dr. Crabtree they were all very kind, understanding and professional. They made a very hard situation so much easier and we are very grateful. We recently moved to Woods County and feel extremely lucky to have such wonderful care available for our 4 legged family. Thankyou Quitman Animal Clinic!

We just wanted to say thank you so much for taking good care of our Dakota when we bordered him recently. Was so concerned because of his recent knee surgery but the staff & Drs made sure he was ok. We really appreciate all of you at Quitman Animal Clinic. 🐶
