How to Save Money at Loving Care Pet 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.

Was happy with how quickly I was able to get an appointment and was pleased with the price. Brought my 2 cats in for routine check up, Dr. Russell was awesome! No upcharging or using fear to convince me something is wrong to try to sell me something. She was super kind and personable, and gentle when handling the cats. The woman at the front desk was also friendly and thorough. Highly recommend.

I can't believe I haven't done a review before. We have been clients of Dr Russel since 2002 when I moved into the area. We have a small self funded rescue for woofers who have had a tough go of it before they find us. Dr. R has seen this pack through our smallest # of 12 pups to our highest at 28. She and her small and dedicated staff have always gone the extra mile and then some to get us what we need and to keep prices as reasonable as possible as we juggle so many critters. I always know that I can count on her to answer honestly when there are hard questions to ask. I know that she will listen and trust my judgement and observations of my pups. I feel like a partner on the team, not talked down to. I want to add that during the covid times, when other vets became inaccessible and highly impersonal she never left off the personal quality care esp when some of our hospice pups needed that end of life bridge. They didn't shut us out or disconnect us from our animals if they had any control over it through the entire pandemic. It can be hard to get through on the phone, but its worth it and when they are with you they are 100% focused on you and your critter. Thank you Dr. Russel and Darla for being there for all the Taylor pups.

DO NOT GO HERE! low price to compensate for their low effort and care for your pets. Horrible customer service!!!! It takes me about 10 tries to actually get someone, and when I do, they are rude and don’t want to assist me, claiming that it’s not their job to answer questions about my dog’s medical records. They were even rude to my new vet clinic when they called to get my dog’s medical records. I highly advise NOT going here. You will spend most of your time frustrated over trying to get help, and when you do get help, they will only do a rush job.

They were able to get in a little dog my mom rescued that had an eye issue and they were so awesome! I can’t speak more highly of both the vet and her tech/ receptionist. They were both very informative and nice considering how busy they were. The dog is so little and the eye thing looked scary. I am so very grateful for them and look forward to them seeing my larger dog for a check up in the future.

Dr. Tammy has been taking care of my dog Daisy since she was a pup. She had also taken care of my 2 cats as well. The last 4 years Tammy has always been upfront and honest about anything Daisy needs or does not need. Very competitive prices and compassionate care. Highly recommend.
