How to Save Money at Legacy Veterinary 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.

We had our first visit at Legacy Vet clinic today and it was wonderful! The entire team was amazing. The clinic was clean and bright. The nicest part was, unlike most vet clinics, they did not try and upset anything. It didn't feel like they are chasing money, they truly care about their patients. The puppy wellness plan is a great service as well! I absolutely will recommend this clinic to anyone!!!! Our new puppy Holly loved everyone!

We have been using legacy vet for just about two years for our corgi, they have always been wonderful, they are so great at getting you in as fast as they can and all the vets are fabulous. The front desk staff and techs are always friendly and we have never had a less then stellar visit. We also love the light therapy it has been a lifesaver for our pups occasional skin issues. We love them and highly recommend them! My only complaint would be that I dont want them to get too busy as they are so wonderful!

Legacy and Dr Maryam’s team are so dedicated and caring. We have been with them for over 20 years with our three dogs. I couldn’t ask for a better doctor and team to partner with care of our precious fur babies.

It is so scary when anything happens to your animals… and there is no one I trust more with my dogs than legacy vet. Reception is so kind, lovely and caring and the techs are absolutely amazing. The vets here are also incredible, all of the staff treats my dogs with care and like they are their own animals. I took both my dogs here from the first day I brought them home and they love coming to the vet, no fear and it is never a bad experience. I’ve had many scares and emergencies and the staff is incredibly helpful and will always fit me in for an appointment when I need it. Thank you so much for being a safe place I can trust with my dogs! For anyone who has animals that are like your children you can trust legacy vet to take gentle care of your animals.

The vets here and staff all around are nothing short of amazing . You may pay a bit more sometimes compared to say out of town but they balance it out the ways they show up for you and your critters when it matters most . In ways you didn’t know even . Definitely recommend checking them out if on the hunt for a good vet . 4 paws up 🐶👅
