How to Save Money at The Well Dog Place

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.

Just started taking my two dogs here and am very pleased with this holistic veterinarian. He’s very good with my dogs and takes time to explain everything. My dogs are very comfortable with Dr. Tudor.

So happy I found this vet. He is very knowledgeable, patience and caring. His staff is also very nice and friendly. Taylor is super sweet and she also replies to my emails very quick. My dog has severe heart problems but i hope she respond well to the treatment ...

I regret ever going to this “holistic”vet. The first time I took my 8 lb, 12 year old Yorkie, they took him to a different room and closed the door to draw his blood. I wondered why a holistic vet would do that, but figured they do that at regular vets, not Modern Animal ( another vet I take my pup to that believes in letting u stay with your pet because it’s less stressful for the pet and owner), which I thought would be also practiced at any Holistic vet. I heard my boy crying way too much and his nails scratching across the metal table. After a while of hearing him in distress I had to knock on the door. When I finally opened the door he had a muzzle on and was so stressed. He has a heart condition so of course him being stressed is very worrisome to me. I feel that there should’ve been consideration for the fact that I have a relationship with my dog and have had him since he was a puppy. Once the doctor left the room I was able to hold my boy, tell him stay and he was very still allowing the nurse to easily draw his blood. That was the first red flag. Then we tried to wean him off his diuretics since they are very bad for the kidneys and this was my main reason for coming here. To try to make a long story shorter… I feel there was a lack of communication and follow up. Sometimes I had questions and called or emailed and would not get a response until days later and after repeated attempts on my part. I feel that because of the lack of communication my dog ended up almost going back into heart failure or at the beginning stages of heart failure. His heart condition progressed as well. His heart grew even more. I don’t feel I was properly guided on the journey to get him off his diuretic and again this was the whole point for me to bring him here. The lack of communication and follow up just really really makes me feel like they don’t genuinely care. I even sent a couple emails about what happened to my pup with questions some time back and never got a response at all. They are only a two person team, so maybe they have too much to handle. After all that my dog is back on diuretics at a higher dose as well as a higher dose of vetmedin. Thankfully, he is stable again. Which reminds me… my pups kidney values kept increasing even with the tinctures Dr Tudor had him on. I’m very disappointed with our overall experience. I agree with someone else who said he is not a true “natural care” holistic vet and i do not feel he is patient. Please look elsewhere and if you still decide to bring your pup here, be on high alert. Do your own research and don’t expect any follow up or to be able to easily communicate.

For years I have taken my pups to vets. As they've gotten older I didn't want to feed them pills for their ailments. I was looking for a more natural way to treat my pups. The Well Dog Place does just that. Dr. Ken Tudor and Crystal are amazing with my pups. They don't rush through the examination process, they are patient and very caring. Dr. Tudor also doesn't do unnecessary tests or try to upsale you medications or lab work. Very honest vet, a rare find.
