How to Save Money at Tri-County 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.

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.

I absolutely love this place. They aren't like the other vets I've visited. They haven't pushed things on me. They are quick to do checkups. Quick to cut my dog's nails. They are super nice to my Child - they involve her in the appointment by asking her questions and they even showed her some kittens last time and let her pick out a name. Very chill vibes. My favorite part is they AREN'T PUSHY. The vet in jumping branch always pushed expensive products on me and didn't want to help me with cheaper options. This vet is compassionate and understanding when it comes to the cost of things. I love going here.

Being a walk-in was a long wait. There has to be a better solution. Nonetheless, the service was good. Unlike other places I went to, they don't inform you of the price without asking ourselves. I really think they should incorporate the estimated cost before going forward. Fortunately, I had a range of what it would cost. I am thankful because today, my girl is showing signs of feeling much better. She got a good night's sleep, too.

My husband and I had to have our beloved dog put to rest and Dr. Faye came out to our country cabin. We are both so thankful for her wonderful approach and professionalism. Though this end of life experience is never easy her presence with us and our dog made things easier and more bearable. She was a tremendous comfort and made the experience for my elderly dog both pain and stress free. Thank you for your life Dr. Faye.

I have a 9 year old male cat who we suspected had a UTI, which turned out to be a blockage that was very, very hard to clear. Dr. Linda never gave up on him. It took a little over two weeks of various treatments, but he is back home and I am overjoyed. She and her staff genuinely care about our pets and I will never take any of my animals anywhere else. I honestly believe she lost as much sleep over my sweet boy as I did. Everyone was so kind through his stay at Tri County, and didn’t mind when I called and came to visit him. Would recommend them to anyone who loves their pets like family.

The first experience I had here was okay even though admittedly I was late for the appointment for which I apologized profusely as life happens!!! (The first appointment We had a cat come back wobbling and im sure she wasnt before the spay! The cat will never walk straight again. She has trouble walking, jumping, running) The next three experiences I've had with the lady that answers the phone: TERRIBLE! My daughter left a review months ago where they called an old number for the 2nd time and we missed appointments that we direly needed. Yesterday I called to ask for the date of the re-scheduled appointment because it was so many months out that I forgot and I was told at first they couldn't find the appointment then told it was last week and guess what phone number they called? They called the wrong number 3 times now even though I've updated it all three times. This unprofessionalism has resulted in so much unnecessary strife for the animals and us. I waited and waited to post a review because one of the vets was a sweet and kind lady!!! It's the other vet answering the phone that lacks any social manners. Thanks for being only one of two vets that accepts the vouchers we had and thank you for not helping whatsoever. You made this so much easier on us.
