How to Save Money at Cat Care Clinic - West

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 can't say enough wonderful things about the Cat Care Clinic! This place truly specializes in cats, and it's evident in every aspect of their service. Their compassion and empathy for our feline friends are unmatched. Every time we've visited, the staff has gone above and beyond to ensure our cats receive the best care possible. They treat each cat with gentleness and understanding, making what could be a stressful experience much more comfortable for both the pets and their owners. One of the most impressive things about this place is their willingness to stay late to help our cats. Whether it's a routine check-up or an emergency, they never hesitate to extend their hours to provide the necessary care. This level of dedication is rare and greatly appreciated.

Hands down the best experience I have ever had at a vet. Everyone here really cares about cats and it shows. The exam rooms are designed with cats in mind and it really makes a difference. My kitty had dental work done and I was a nervous wreck the entire time. The staff was patient with me and gave me updates while she was under, which I really appreciated. I had a clerical issue with my bill and it was corrected quickly. Overall wonderful place with wonderful people!

I had the best experience at Cat Care Clinic and could not recommend them enough. Not only was I impressed with Dr. Parks, but also with the entire staff and overall care that my cat received. Dr. Parks was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly explain what my options were for my cat. Savannah, Kylee and Cecilia were also very supportive throughout my cat's care. They were great at communicating what was going on with her treatment plan and provided excellent customer service. It was such a relief to know that my cat was being cared for by such trustworthy and kind people.

We ran into an emergency where we had to quarantine our cat for 10 days with very short notice. After calling around multiple places in the Madison area, all of which were booked or did not do quarantine, this place went above and beyond. They said they did not normally do quarantines like we were looking for, especially since we weren't a previous customer, but the receptionist talked to the owner and they made an exception for us out of kindness. In a time of stress, the Cat Care Clinic took the burden off us and quarantined Twinkie. She was required to do 3 check-ups during the 10 days and was treated very well. We were not originally told we could visit, but they made an exception once again and allowed us in during her check-ups. This was especially helpful to me since Twinkie is somewhat of a therapy cat for me and it made me anxious knowing she was going to be alone for 10 days. She was treated very well during the entire time. We are incredibly grateful for the time, patience, and generosity that both us and our cat were shown. I could not recommend this place more.
