How to Save Money at Avon Pet 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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.

Everyone in this vet office has been nothing but wonderful with every pet I've brought. They were so wonderful through my 18 year old dog's final few years with so much kindness to him. I now bring my two new big dogs to them and the pups receive the same amount of love. Great vet services and amazing boarding services are hard to find in the valley, I wouldn't go anywhere else.

The best vet I’ve been too. After being rejected at 2 different local vets for an after hours emergency visit I called Avon Pet Center after they had already closed and they waited for me the get there as I was driving from Eagle. Dr.Whitman gave my dog the attention she needed with such patience and care. HIGHLY recommend this place for your furry friends.

Terribly unprofessional and not worth a cent. I got my dogs teeth cleaned from dr Whitman, and not even 6 months later a tooth ruptured and caused blood to seep out of my dogs eye. I woke up to this. So a little traumatized and have a tendency to repeat myself, but got written in my notes how I’m just intoxicated. I called to get his vaccine records, but instead got sent detailed notes about me repeating myself and questions about his surgery start time. God forbid I ask questions. How about send the correct records over about MY pet, and not about me? I’m disgusted by this place. It’s been hours since, and they still are refusing to send me the vaccine portion for my pet. How kind!

Our pup took a bad spill and started limping with an arm sticking to the side around 5pm. Worried, we called Avon pet center about 20 minutes before they were closing to see if we could come get him checked out. They were kind enough to wait for us and got him an X-ray right away. He was ok which really put our minds at ease. Thank you!

We have been going to Avon Pet Center for 10 years now and can't say enough good things. The staff truly cares for the animals and everyone there consistently goes above and beyond. Even our shelter rescue who was terrified of going to the vet has come around with some gentle coaxing and lots of patience.
