How to Save Money at Quioccasin Veterinary Hospital

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.

My parents dogs were patients at Quioccasin Veterinary Hospital for many years. They loved Dr. Mortimer and the staff. We decided to change veterinary hospitals and took both of our dogs to QVH for the first time this week. Each of them has severe anxiety difficulties with going to the vet. The doctors they saw and the staff were all wonderful to them and to my husband and me. They took all the time they needed to get the information about the dogs, to discuss future veterinary care, and to accomplish the treatments about which we were the most concerned. We drive 30 miles each way to bring our dogs to QVH, and it is totally worth it.

This review is not necessarily reviewing this facility as a whole. Rather, it has to do with one of their veterinarians, namely doctor Yvette Burke. It was a year ago that I lost my dog Joe. After seeing her a couple of times in her inability to make a proper diagnosis, he passed away with much discomfort. I actually had to help him go. She was so bad as a veterinarian that I dismissed her and insisted on seeing Dr. Mortimer. Dr Mortimer showed compassion, concern, and professionalism. He also showed me the x-rays that Dr. Burke took that entirely missed the area where poor Joe had a tumor. Dr Mortimer could not fix the damage already caused by the neglect of Dr Burke. I ended up having to go to a different veterinarian in Richmond. The cost was crazy high, and she would send her nurses out with an estimate for me to sign before she even would see my dog. It was as if I was bringing a car into a shop. She was rude, unprofessional, and in fact complaining that she was supposed to get off early and this was holding her up. I have never seen anything like this, and this comment is meant for people who are making a decision on what veterinary to see. You can see where Dr. Burke used to work at Glen Allen veterinarian, and she was torn to shred in reviews while she was there. I wish I would have read those first. I would have never taken her as a veterinarian. I suggest people do their homework before putting your beloved pet in the hands of this callus veterinarian.
