How to Save Money at Payson Pet 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.

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 not begin to describe how amazing our experience was with the service at this facility! We brought our dog here after a bad dog fight and she was bleeding extremely bad with puncture wounds to the throat and had a hard time breathing. It was close to closing time and with no regard to their personal time, the entire staff needed to handle our unique situation, stayed for us and saved our dogs life! After an extensive surgery was complete, they had us take our dog to a 24 animal hospital in the valley for post surgery care. The Dr. There was extremely impressed with the work done on our animal by Payson Pet Care. Thanks to their love for what they do and the high level of skill they possess my daughter didn't loose her best friend last night!!! Thank you to everyone at Payson Pet Care!

I love them for our dogs, obviously for only appointments. We are actual patients and had an emergency for our one pet, and they could not accommodate an emergency, and we had to wait at least 3 days! That did not sit well with us, as we had to go to Mesa for a real doctor!

Had to put my dog down today. They were able to get us in very quickly without having a previous appointment The staff was very compassionate and made sure we felt at ease with our decision. They explained every step of the process and what to expect. We are very happy with them and will bring our other pets to them. Thank you Payson Pet Care

My cat is a favorite here. He is loved by the staff who take very good care of him. I appreciate the genuine, caring attitudes and their willingness to work with him and me. While he is the patient, it is very important to me that I like and agree with them. This is refreshing at this clinic since it has not always been the case elsewhere. It's nearby, too, since car rides are not his favorite thing.

Never too busy for our fur family. I appreciate the care they give especially when the end of life is the only option and compassion is most needed. Thank you.
