How to Save Money at Monument 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.

Yesterday morning I took my 3 year old doodle (brown dog) to dr deturck because his eyes were red and his vision changed. I thought it must be an allergy or something,,,, but sadly, upon physical exam she discovered he had swollen lymph nodes. After several hours of blood and node samples she had to tell me he had lymphoma. I was devastated and in shock, but all staff there and she, were supportive, professional and I left with an oncologist appointment nov 9 and my pup was comfortable. They made a bad situation tolerable. I recommend them to all my neighbors.

well brought a new AKC Doberman Pinscher three weeks ago. took my puppy to monument vet clinic. Dr Erin answered all my questions which were many never owning a doberman before. My puppies name is Luna and had her ears cropped so being i was flying with her to my farm in the caribbean i had many questions about that also. Dr Erin gave me all the medications needed for her care while away. i’m very happy with the staff cyndi, and Hannah for insuring i received the videos on her ear care. one staff member last week gave me the run around causing me to continue calling until cyndi picked up the phone and put me in touch with Hannah my hero of today. The emails were arriving under Erin the Dr. not monument vet clinic. Thank you cyndi, Hannah and Dr. Erin for all you do and have done for my Luna. She’s being trained as my Service dog. I will be returning to the springs and will continue my care with this clinic. I do recommend this clinic for your pets. Shalom
