How to Save Money at Animal Wellness Center

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.

The clinic staff always takes the very best care of us. 9 times out of 10 they have availability right when I need it. Incredibly convenient location for me and friendly staff makes this a 5 out of 5 stars.

This veterinary practice is one of the ones that VIP pet vaccination clinics recommended for my dog when he was showing sign's of possible illness. Now they are my regular veterinary practice for my service dog Mia.

Kris Daily is a good vet, and she explains carefully just what is going on with your animal. I have followed her food recommendations and my pets are slimmer and happier.

Extremely rude and cold front desk. I was an old client with Dr.Raymond. just saying his name was like I had some kind if plaque. So dis concerning about my 2 1/2 yr old retriever having cancer. I was looking for some holistic advice and to set up with a new vet for his continued care. The frint desk was nit busy. I was the only person there. They were so cold, so rude, so negative. I wouldn't recommend this clinic to anyone who cares about their furbabies my search continues for a good caring holistic veterinarian for help. Don't ask them for any references. They won't be at all helpful. Only rude and mean.

I love the veterinary Kris Daily! She is the best and honestly has that love of the animals in her demeanor. I go here for maintenance and tech services at times and the staff here are with the exception of 1 employee i have encountered, aren't very welcoming or comforting to me or my pets. Maybe since it's Saturday and they have to work is the atmosphere I get. I will go there for Kris Daily being a quality vet alone.
