How to Save Money at Yolo Veterinary Clinic

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.

My dog was not up to par. They got me in and checked him out, got him correctly diagnosed with kindness and courtesy. I was informed of everything every step of the way. If a test needed to be ran, they informed me the pros and cons of why they were doing it, and the price so there was no surprises. Thanks to everyone there, my dog was doing and feeling better hours later.

My Family member...My Cat named Mama developed Diabetes very quickly. Yolo Vet was very Compassionate and Cincerned for her well being. Givung me a supply of insulin, needles and diabetic cat food. To no avail, I had to make the decision to send her to yhe Rainbow Bridge since I could not stand to watch her suffer. They gave me extra time to be with her and gave me their condolences many times. I am devistated still. Yolo vet suprised me with a card saying... (They hand wrote) All of us at Yolo Vet would like to express our deepest sympathy for your loss of Mama. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. The card printed words are...May the empty place in your heart soon be filled with memories you've made and the moments you've shared with your beloved Friend. Thinking of you with deepest sympathy.

Since my original review, very shady interactions happened with this office. Please note, the vets were fine here. It's a front office woman who behaved utterly unprofessional. After boarding my dog, we were charged an 'exam fee' on top of the boarding fee and extra money I paid for additional daily activities. When I inquired about this, they said because they had to sedate my dog during his stay because he was so nervous (my dog just had his regular exam with them a few months ago). When I asked how then, was he able to do the additional outdoor activity time I had paid for because he was sedated, I was told 'he got it, definitely'. This is my dog's regular vet of two years, I walked out feeling duped. I was irritated but they wouldn't talk to me about it. Yesterday my neighbor picked up her small dog from them after holiday boarding and was disappointed that she was charged some 'exam fee' that was never part of prior boarding fees (also her regular vet). Her dog was not sedated. Poor communication. Unexpected fees. No trust.

Great experience! Brought my daughter's cat Bear in because he was limping and has a reoccurring eye infection. We arrived a couple minutes late (I am injured and on crutches) the staff was kind and welcoming, we waited maybe 5 minutes to be seen. DVM Laurie was awesome, very efficient and gentle about his leg and explained what was happening with his eye. The cost for him to be seen and his treatment was reasonable. I will be bringing all of three of our cats here for regular visits and check-up's from now on. To the all the staff Thank You!
