How to Save Money at Faircrest Veterinary Care
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.

Faircrest Veterinary Care was awesome from the moment my dog and I walked in the door. We were greeted immediately and taken to our room. Winter was showered with attention & care. We got an exam & all our questions answered by the kindest Vet in town. He even took the time to email me information I had asked him about. I am so happy to have found this special place to being my pet. She loved it! Look at her smiling!

Our experience at Faircrest was so seamless! I had called because my cat, Sparkle, needed to be seen quickly for a dental issue. While making my calls around the city Faircrest was recommended, and I'm so glad they were! They were able to fit me in within a few days, even with Sparkle being a new patient. They were very quick to respond to any questions. I am so thankful to Dr. Mason and the rest of Faircrest for taking such wonderful care of Sparkle and I can't recommend them more!

We’re incredibly grateful we found such an amazing vet upon our move to Madison. Dr. Mason is the most compassionate vet we have ever worked with, and provided great care to Fiona. Thank you Dr. Mason and team.

The Faircrest facility is great, the staff is extremely caring and knowledgeable. We had our pup in for a Laparoscopic Spay procedure. Recovery was a bliss. Thank you Dr. Mason, Kim, and Aliyah!!

Faircrest is a relatively new clinic and was suggested to me by a different vet that was booking out several weeks. My partner and I recently adopted a stray cat who had tapeworms, and we needed to get him in ASAP. Dr. Mason was able to see us less than 24 hours after I'd requested an appointment. He applied the topical dewormer for us and conducted a thorough exam. Our cat was so comfortable at Faircrest that he fell asleep on the table in the exam room. They also gave him a treat. :) We can't recommend Faircrest enough, and we're excited to be be one of Dr. Mason's new patients.
