How to Save Money at Mercy Pet 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.

My fur baby Lucy loved this place. The vet was understanding that shes protective of her owners so unfortunately we have to muzzle our pup but they treat her so well once she submits to them and her human is no longer in sit. They’re very informative and helpful. Prices are not bad for basic services. All in all this is our forever vet!! If Lucy (our dog) approves. So does her humans!! 🐕 woof woof 🐶

I finally found a veterinary clinic for my black lab pixie. They were so caring, so concerned and compassionate every step of the way I appreciate them so much, and will continue to go back for any needs for any of my animals. I highly recommend this veterinary clinic. I have been to numerous clinics in the last two years. And have been continuously disappointed time and time again. I left there today in shock of how much of a wonderful experience I had with my baby. Thank you mercy pet Hospital.

Dr Lennon and her staff are just outstanding!! We drive from Antelope to Fair Oaks just to see Dr. Lennon. Natasha is an asset in so many ways out on the front desk greeting people with pets with a grand smile and kindness. Her phone calls to check on our Zoey meant so much to us. Zoey is going on 13 and needed major gum treatment and extractions. 15!! We left her there for 8 hrs as having such a time extensive oral surgery takes time. She needed more care and anesthesia for her treatment. Dr Lennon, Natasha and another vet tech kept us in the loop all day. They called the next day also to check on her recovery. This Mercy Pet Hospital is where we have told all fellow dog lovers to please try Mercy! Will never go elsewhere for anything. Please know- whomever- is reading this-to give praiseworthy employees their accolades when they get them. We are bringing our other rescue Maltese Poodle for her spaying this Friday. Not nervous at all because we know the exemplary care our Lilly Belle will receive. Thank you for the opportunity to at least tell you how pleased we are. Sincerely Lisa Prosper, Jim Frasinetti, Zoey and Lilly Belle
