How to Save Money at Tassajara 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.

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.

First time visiting Dr Dowd with my recently adopted 7 year old cat , Charlotte. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming . Dr Dowd is so gentle and loving during her exam that it was totally stress free for Charlotte. The vet tech who assisted was lovely as well. The office felt very welcoming and Dr Dowd took her time , didn’t rush , answered questions and made her self familiar with Charlotte and out her at ease. All around great experience

First time ever going here. Expensive, and staff were not friendly. Looked like most worked there for a long time, so get away with attitudes. Nothing special here. I think if they were to fire one of the girls in the front, maybe the rest would start to care about their jobs and treat customers better.

Rocky may not always enjoy going there but they take awesome care of him! Their prices are pretty reasonable, they are open on weekends, and can usually be seen last-minute. Great vet!

Tassajara Vet is truly top notch! I've been taking my dogs there for more than 15 years. All the doctors are awesome and so knowledgeable. Dr. Dowd and Dr. Miller are truly amazing and so compassionate! I want to say a big shout out to Melissa they helped me out so much with my dog Lilly after her surgery. Everyone that works there treats our furry friends like it's their pet. All the staff there are truly appreciated and valued. Thanks for being so wonderful!
