How to Save Money at Animal Vision Center

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 took my cat who is now a year old and has a history of ulcers in his eyes. He is strictly an indoor cat, is very shy, and he has spent his entire life confined to my home and preferably underneath my bed. So in terms of anxiety he is far on the spectrum and has literally been physically sick from going to the vet. I was highly impressed that we were allowed in the exam room to watch Dr. Faber do the entire exam, he carefully looked at my cats eyes with his equipment meanwhile the entire time my cat sat so quietly. They were so sweet and gentle and the office was very quiet which was a great atmosphere for my cat who is petrified of loud noises. Thank you Dr faber and staff for making this visit fast, easy, and painless.

This place is amazing! After a rather frustrating er visit, we were on our own to figure out the next step... We called Animal Vision Center and they told us to bring her in right away! The staff is wonderful and reassuring.. Now fingers crossed the rest goes well.

After waiting 3 months to get in with Dr. Faber, we were told we are not wanted at his practice before even being seen. We had an appointment with Dr. Faber for my German Shepherd on a Thursday, the staff called me on Monday to request I get sedatives for my dog. Per my veterinarian clinic the request would need 3 to 4 business days so they could not guarantee the medication would be filled prior to his appointment on Thursday. After I called back doctor Faber’s office, they were closed for the day and left a detailed message in regards to my predicament. I received a call back after hours with a message left saying it is my choice to bring in my dog with or without sedative, but they might have to reschedule the appointment, depending on how my dog reacts. I was willing to eat the cost of the office visit. The next morning I get a call saying that Dr. Faber is not wanting to see my dog. The staff would not give me any reason for the decision. But, given that I have waited three months for an appointment to find out two days prior that we are not wanted is very upsetting and unprofessional. I feel personally attacked and my dog was discriminated against because of his GSD breed.

The staff was really friendly and Dr. Faber was awesome. He told me exactly what was wrong with my Stark kitty, how he was going to fix Stark's eyes, and was very willing to answer any questions I had. Would definitely come here again if any of my animal crew needed vision help.
