How to Save Money at Dermatology for Animals - Gilbert

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.

We are so thankful for the referral to Dermatology for Animals. Dr. Lewis is not Only super smart, but he is genuine and so caring. We have a complicated situation with our Dog and so thankful to have Dr. Lewis and his team on our side.

The care givers at this facility were attentive, knowledgeable and communicative. We were hesitant at first to go as it is almost four hours away but we had been to several local vets and none could figure out what was going on with our pup. So far the treatment reccomended by Dematology for Animals seems to be working. I am happy I made the trip and so is my pup.

I saw Dr. Pipitone and Bri at the dermatology clinic. My cat absolutely hates the vet and no one has ever been able to touch him without him being sedated in the 5 years I have had him. This gives me anxiety bringing him places. The doctor sat down and chatted with me about treatment options and plan of care and while doing that my cat came out of his carrier. She and Bri were able to pet him and examine him with minimal issues. She even sat and laid on the floor with him to pet him and he loved every minute of it. Highly recommend Dr. Pipitone and Bri! I’m excited to be able to bring him in to this calm, comforting, and passionate establishment and receive the care my kitty needs.

I had a very positive experience with this practice. I took my female GSD in for medical evaluation for skin issues on the bridge of her nose. The doctor was very thorough with his exam and was gentle with my dog when he was taking specimen samples. Everything was explained and felt confident with his treatment pan.
