How to Save Money at Dr. Domotor's Animal House

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 were pleased with the calm, patient handling of our skittish Siberian Husky by the Dr and techs. The prescribed medication has been very effective.

Dr.Domotor’s office is very thorough. She personally cared for our dog who had eaten something toxic and saved her life. Staff members are smart and personable. Prices are high but they are experienced.

Pay attention to this post it is very important you read all of it. Today I decided to move on from Dr Domotor House. I realized this place was not the same place that I have taken all my animals to over so many years. Dr D was the best Dr ever and I will miss her. If it wasn't for her and some of the past Dr I would not have learned all the things that were necessary to keep my animals alive. I understand that it was time to sale the business and that is what she has done. However, the integrity, caring ,thoughtfulness and compassion is no longer at this office. Those qualities are necessary for the care of our furry babies. It should be noted I typically do not write reviews but it is important that you know that the care of my animals are very important and when the office ignored the request and I was told that they would cut me off if I called again it was time to leave. I will miss you Dr D. all the best to you God speed to you and your recovery. Update on my rating....I located a new vet that was closer to me. Not only did Domotor Animal house not send over all my pets information they sabotaged my pet. They told them my 12 year old cat was aggressive and that vet was going to force me to get all the vaccinations plus a rabies for an animal that can not walk much less goes outside. Simply unbelieveable
