How to Save Money at Veterinary Medical Center of Folsom

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.

We came to his vet because one of our good friends, Jessica worked here. She recently moved but we continued to bring our dog, Rocky, here because we always had a great experience. Unfortunately, 2 weeks ago, our sweet Rocky crossed the rainbow bridge. We brought him there to have him sent to be cremated and returned back to us. I’d have to say that despite the heart ache of losing our dog, we knew that they’d take great care of him until he was sent off to be cremated. Yesterday, December 15th, I picked up Rocky’s remains and the call I received was them tell me that our baby was ready to be picked up. They used those exact words. And then today, the 16th, we received a sympathy card in the mail with 5 different prints versions of Rocky’s nose and paw. They went above and beyond to make sure we got something special. Included with the prints was a card with sweet notes from the staff. I honestly can’t find a better vet and whenever we get a new dog, I know exactly where we are taking it. Vet Med Center feels like home and they make sure not only that the animals feel comfortable, but so do the fur parents. Thank you Vet Med Center for taking great care of our Rocky until the very end.

I absolutely love how caring and compassionate everyone is at this vet office. I've had two cats euthanized here at different times, and they gave me complete control over how much time I needed. When I had to put my baby girl Kasi down, I didn't have enough money to cover the cost to get her ashes back, but the vet helped me cover it. I'm forever grateful to her and the kindness she showed me that day. Sadly, I just had to put my baby boy Kenai down less than two weeks ago. They were again caring and respectful to me and my family in our time of grief. I highly recommend this vet office and the staff who work there! 💙

They were so great. Our pet Rocky was really not doing well and they were kind, compassionate, patient, everything you could want when your furry family needs help. I hope we don’t need to visit too often, but when we do need their help, we won’t go anyplace else

Awesome experience here. The office was quiet which was great for my skittish cat. I was immediately brought to a room and a tech saw us almost immediately. The tech and vet (I think Dr. Anderson) were very knowledgeable and super sweet to my cat. Usually my cat is screaming and fighting with every vet visit, here she was scared but very cooperative. This clinic is very affordable and they only give you what you need. They cleaned my cat’s ears out in the clinic as best as they could so that the medication drops would be more effective. They even gave her the first dosing. She’s now also up to date on her vaccines. This office is 30 minutes away from where I live but it’s totally worth the drive. I’ll be taking her here for any of her needs.

So happy with the care my pets receive. The staff and doctors are so kind and caring, really feels like a family practice. Scheduling is easy which is hard to find these days. They do their best to fit us in when needed. They offer quality care at a reasonable price. The doctors are patient with my questions and my pets. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else, I know they are in good hands.
