How to Save Money at Bowman Veterinary Hospital

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 came to Bowman Vet and Dr. Haas because my mini Dachshund was paralyzed. Acupuncture was our last chance to getting her mobile. After six acupuncture treatments she has regained her mobility. She is a little wobbly but she is still showing improvement after each treatment. My regular vet never suggested acupuncture, shame on them! Thank you Dr. Haas you ROCK!

Can’t say enough about Dr. Christine Haas & Bowmen Veterinary Hospital. Just for some context, we live in ROCKLIN, CA, and there’s plenty of Vets between us and Auburn, CA. We travel a lil ways because of the treatment our fur animals, and the care they receive from Dr. Haas and her staff. She really cares about what she does and shows in her bedside manor when examining / treating our pets. She does so much more than her yearly exams and vaccinations. She takes the time to discuss our pets behaviors, diet, and their usual environment. Guiding us on preventative care vs. reactive care. I can go on and on… If your looking for a good Vet that is not trying to charge you for something you don‘t need, and actually takes the time to help you understand the importance of prevention to common health conditions, look no further. Attached are some pix of our fur family!

Dr. Haas and the whole staff are wonderful. She very obviously cares about my dog and throughly explained labs, diet, next steps, etc. She was patient with me asking a million questions and was able to answer all of them. She listened to my worries and put my mind at ease. The vet techs and front staff were also professional and kind.

Great place! I honestly didn't know about them prior to my FAVORITE VET EVER moving here, but I now travel from Sacramento to Auburn every vet visit. There's a reason I followed her here and she's the only vet on staff, so rest assured, you'll have a PHENOMENAL vet for your fur babies! Since I have been going here, I've now had the chance to learn that ALL the staff is excellent!! They will call the day after an appointment and check to see how "their" dog is doing 😆.... My dog LITERALLY loves going to the vet! He can hardly contain himself when we arrive! He can't wait to get out and get inside to see all his friends/wonderful staff. It truly is hilarious! He's 110 lb Cane Corso and they are so good they are able to give him shots, do blood draws etc. with no problems. Another thing that I love about this place is that they're not pushy and you don't feel judged if you make decisions a little "outside the box" and they work with you to get your animals the best care they can get and it truly is about that for them. Thank you to ALL the staff here!

Very nice staff and the vet is good on teaching her clients about why things are needed. I would recommend using them again. Be advised they are a bit pricy. today we had dental surgery for our cat and they were great.
