How to Save Money at Mayo Veterinary Services

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.

One in a thousand. Literally. Our two-month old Pomeranian pup fractured and dislocated his front leg while playing with his big sisters in the yard, as confirmed by X-ray. The first quote we were given was five to seven thousand dollars to insert pins into and set the leg. We aren't of meager means but that is a large pill to swallow for anyone. We called around town and were disappointed to find that while seven thousand dollars was on the high end, the low end wasn't much better at four thousand dollars. We requested electronic copies of our x-rays and got to work calling and e-mailing them to anyone who would take them. We made a list of every vet, surgeon and hospital within 250 miles of Everett and got to work. We called *literally* hundreds of offices, veterinarian colleges and hospitals, all to no avail. Then we found Jeff. He was *AMAZING* and right from the beginning he assured us he would take care of our puppy. He communicated directly with us via e-mail through the entire process and afterwards which we loved. For those of you who don't know, Jeff is a traveling surgeon. He travels around and performs surgeries at vet offices all across the sound. Without the overhead and other constraints that come with a brick and mortar clinic, Jeff beats the rest on every front including price! Now; don't let the travelling part make you think that he is providing anything less than the best care for your animal. Jeff has operated clinics in the past, has decades of experience and found being a mobile vet was best for him AND his furry patients. He was communicative, prompt, friendly, affordable and personable just to throw out a few adjectives for the google algos. We had the surgery and after care such as X-rays and follow-up visits performed at Greenwood Veterinarian Hospital. Their pricing and care was also stellar coming in at less than half of what the Mill Creek Veterinarian Hospital charged us for the same service. We also saved a bit more by pulled the stitches ourselves but my wife is a nurse and we also give our animals shots and vaccinations ourselves, so this is best left to someone who knows what they are doing. We are forever grateful to Jeff Mayo and his right hand vet tech, Courtney Wilson (RVT) for the care and compassion they provided for our furry friend and us. We recommend him to all of our family and friends. If you are looking for a surgeon who cares, stop and look no further as you are lucky enough to have stumbled across the best. Thank you Jeff and Courtney. Thank you from our family to yours, Mike, Colleen and Toto

My three dogs have had some good vets in their lifetime, but hands down, Dr Mayo is GREATNESS! My first fur baby had stem cell surgery and a huge tumor on his shoulder removed, my 2nd fur baby had his broken hip repaired and a growth in his ear removed, and my 3rd fur baby had a mass removed from under his foot and plasma injection in his elbow... all performed by Dr Mayo. Their speedy recovery was amazing. The first time I called Dr Mayo’s office, he immediately returned my call. His prompt response and ability to squeeze my dog into surgery for his medical emergency won over my trust and gave me a great peace of mind. What blew my mind was his call back after surgery... it wasn’t a receptionist calling me back to let me know surgery went well... it was the Doctor himself! I was able to ask whatever questions I had left post surgery. To top it off, the surgery bill did not break the bank... not even close. I obtained quotes from other vets, Dr Mayo’ surgery bill was more manageable than the vet they had insurance thru. I am thankful for Dr Mayo’s skill, precision, dedication and compassion for my boys. He is a miracle!

I was on maybe my 5th call to another vet clinic to try to get my dog in for surgery for a torn CCL. Although they told me they didn't have a surgeon on staff they recommended me to Jeff Mayo. I called, he answered right away and answered my questions. The next night I emailed after hours and he responded promptly. I booked the consultation and surgery together and he spent a good 45 minutes going over the different options for treatment with me. Because he didn't have a kit for the type of surgery we decided to go with he offered for me to come back next week when he would be at the clinic again. I told him I live 3 hrs away and next week wouldn't work so he offered to come in the next day to the Renton Clinic to do the surgery.... on his day off! Jeff went out of his way to do what was best for my dog and to accommodate me. My dog is almost 3 weeks post surgery and she's already walking pretty well. I highly highly recommend Jeff!

Jeff Mayo and his team have been excellent in supporting my dog (and me) during her surgery process. From helping me understand the choices for her surgery, sitting down with me during the day of exam, and providing clear, easy to use post-surgery instruction, I have been reassured the whole time that Dr.Mayo had a strong knowledge of how to care for my dog. My dog had a TTA by Dr.Mayo. After the surgery I was able to follow all the rehab instruction with videos and a week-by-week recovery guide. Dr.Mayo and his team have personally answered my continued questions when I need further guidance post-surgery to help me feel reassured my dog is on the right track to recovery. The reassurance has been so helpful to me so that I know my investment in her surgery is met by my continued care for my best friend. My dog is healing really well and I am so glad I choose Dr.Mayo for her surgery.

Jeff Mayo booked a TPLO surgery at my hospital today at 8:30 am. My client arrived on time with her dog and when we hadn't heard from Jeff by 8:15 I text him to find out when he was arriving. He text back: "Probably not going to make it in time. Starting an emergency in Issaquah and having equipment issues. Can we reschedule next week?" Jeff never showed up at my hospital. This is completely unprofessional. I would never let a colleague down like this and with no communication whatsoever. My tech drove 2 hours to work just for this surgery.
