How to Save Money at Olin Dennis DVM

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.

Dr. Olin is the best! He is kind, humble and very thorough. He took his time, listened to us and took the time to explain everything. We drove from a fair distance to see him and would do it again in a heartbeat. He knows his stuff and took great care of our dog Kodi. His office staff is great as well. Prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend Dr. Olin if you are in need of excellent eye car for your pet. Thank you Dr. Olin and staff!

Back in 2007, I was referred to Dr. Olin. My Labrador Retriever, Smokey, had cancer in his eye. Dr. Olin did the surgery that day to remove Smokey's eye. The cancer spread throughout Smokey's body but thanks to Dr. Olin, Smokey lived another 2 years. Dr. Olin is amazing and I highly recommend him.

Thank God for Dr.Olin.my husband and I were referred to him when our pug injured her cornea over the 4th of July weekend. We thought that she would need surgery because the damage looked bad however Dr.Olin wasn't so sure he prescribed a course of plasma drops in her eyes and within 2 weeks he was able to confirm that she would retain 95+% of her sight with NO surgery, we've were so happy. He is very kind and caring and very reasonably priced, he also has a great staff that is very nice. We totally recommend Dr.Olin 100% ❤❤❤
