How to Save Money at Marguerite Animal 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.

I called a few vet offices in a Sunday because my cat was urinating blood. Unfortunately, several offices were either closed or cannot see my cat. Fortunately, I came across Dr. Vedadi and his staff were able to get my cat in within 2 hours of calling. They gave antibiotics, did testing and saw the cat very quickly. I’m very happy! Dr. Vedadi called me a few days later with the results and gave me a treatment plan. So far she’s doing better. I recommend this clinic!

If your beloved pet needs surgery, this is the guy you want operating. I’ve been to several vets over the past 30 years and I have rarely encountered a vet with the same level of dedication and skill that Dr. Vedadi has. He is an EXCELLENT surgeon, hands down the best one to operate on my pets. I am so impressed with his work. He is careful and conservative in invasive procedures and highly economical for the services and level of care he and his staff provide. I highly recommend this doctor to anyone looking for a quality veterinarian.

We were referred by a friend and are EXTREMELY PLEASED! One of our dogs has had skin and allergy issues since the day we adopted her. We've gone to so many different vets with only temporary and limited results. The crew at this clinic changed our Maggie's life. She is a completely different dog and is so happy and carefree now. They are honest and upfront without overselling. They actually seem to care about each and every patient which is hard to come by these days. Highly recommended!

After a difficult experience with another vet, we found Dr. Vedadi a few months ago based on his great recommendations. We are so pleased with his care for Milo, his follow up and approaches to treatment. His team is also excellent and very responsive to emails and phone calls.

Dr. Vadadi and his staff are extremely professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. We immediately felt at home, like we were seeing a small town vet. Also, their rates are extremely affordable. It doesn't seem like it's all about the money with them, which shows good character.They all seem to enjoy putting their hearts into their jobs. I have been so impressed.
