How to Save Money at Family Veterinary Care of Oakdale

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 have taken my cats here a few times now. The facility is very clean. The people at the front desk are courteous and helpful. The wait time is minimal. I appreciate that they go over what the cost is going to be, before starting the exam. ... I wish my own doctors did that. 😅

I just love Family Veterinary Care of Oakdale. My Dog Ryder needed to be seen right away, and my usual vet was fully booked for days, so Since Ryder was neutered at Family Vet when we adopted him from the Oakdale Shelter, I decided to see if they had an opening. They were able to squeeze us in and everyone from the first phone call, to check in, to the Techs and the Doctor were amazing, so friendly , very caring and just made you feel at home there. We felt so welcomed. Ryder got the best care and the phone call to check on him the next day was so appreciated and the lady I spoke to (I'm so sorry I had just woken up so I can't remember her name, I'm so sorry) but she was so sweet and caring. I'd recommend this Vet for anyone wanting the same treatment we got, if we lived closer, I'd switch to them for all future visits. Thank you all and Ryder thanks you too . A+A+A+A+A+

Highly recommend Family Veterinary Care of Oakdale! They are amazing!! All of the staff is so friendly, loving and caring and Dr. Singh is so grounded and patient. I always feel very seen and heard in all of my million questions lol. They are always able to get me in promptly and their pricing is phenomenal. I actually drive from out of town to see them and have recommended many others to do the same, totally worth it! A vet, doctor and staff you can trust! Thank you for the wonderful service!

This veterinary practice is impressive right from the appointment call to the end of your visit! We had been looking for something this special for a long time and felt like we hit the jackpot! The facility is beautiful and clean and true to its name, the atmosphere is very “family” like and friendly. We were quickly made comfortable in an exam room where we felt free to ask any questions. Both the vet tech Amanda and Doctor Wendy Dudley clearly show a passion for loving and caring for animals. My wife and I were impressed with the professional expertise and unrushed attention our cat received. Our questions were all answered thoroughly, and we felt that our “Dash” kitty received the very best care possible. With all that premium care, we expected the bill to be high and were shocked at the reasonable, affordable price. Seriously, this place is a gem!!!
