How to Save Money at No More Chasin' Tails
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.

They did an excellent job of spading my two female cats when they were 6 months old. They got the spading, meds, neck cones and a green tattoo near the incision site for an extremely reasonable price! The staff at the time was friendly. My girls are now 6yrs old.

We discovered NMCT from a friend who recommended the facility for their affordable services, when we adopted two kittens. I am so glad we took the recommendation! The ease of setting up an appointment, the prices, the staff, and care for my babies was top notch! With all of our worries of the surgery, and post surgery care, we felt the staff was not only professional but so loving with our kittens. We felt so comfortable with leaving them in their care.I would recommend this clinic to anyone!

This wonderful low-cost clinic helps so many animals in our community, especially the homeless shelter pets they care for. Dr. Califf is safe, thorough, and compassionate. The rest of the team is amazing - responsive, helpful, and great problem solvers. Overall, this is a cherished partner to the area shelters and a great low-cost option for the community. Spay and neuter saves lives! And this team does it better than most. Thank you.

They were great with my dog start to finish! I would highly recommend if you are looking to get your pet spayed or neutered!

Had a great energy -it didn’t feel like a shelter/pound for animals- smelled clean, had calming music playing. Very professional website and the office staff were professional and kind. Very excellent experience especially with it being our first puppy getting neutered. Cannot recommend them more. We will try to donate more to this organization- they do so much good! We’re fortunate to have this clinic in our local area.
