How to Save Money at Sploot Veterinary Care - Highlands

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.

Cannot overstate my gratitude to the team on Sunday November, 2. Specifically, Dr. Lenahen, Anika, and Francesca. If one of those names was not the front desk/admin staff - they deserve the five stars as well. Pepper had a gnarly slice (laceration, according to the visit summary) on Sunday morning from an unknown cause. I had never seen something like it. Pepper was bleeding, peeing, and crying (me too). We drove to Sploot immediately and I hadn't even had a chance to call. I could not compose myself enough to describe the situation. Understanding that, the front desk staff (whose name I never got) immediately got a nurse to quickly examine Pepper before we were escorted to a private room. In less than ten minutes, we had a water to help collect ourselves and Dr. Lenahen calmly explaining the situation and treatment plan. Our expectations were set, and before I even got home, I had a text asking how my wife and I were doing and that Pepper was ok. I got text updates ; "Pepper sedated", "Dr. Lenahen inspecting wound", "wrapping up". When I got the news from Dr. Lenahen that Pepper was ok, but needed an hour to be observed, I couldn't believe that I felt comfortable enough to not knock down the door. After I picked her up, the recovery was explained clearly and my questions were quickly answered about medications and side effects during the following days. I don't know if it really was an emergency. It could have been routine and just another day in the office. I felt, and surely showed, like it was an emergency. The pros that were working on Sunday have left it a mystery, and I'm really thankful for that. The experience I had was top notch. Whether to training, or hiring the type of people who treat people/pets this way, I would recommend Sploot. One note, I've noticed that there seems to be some decent turnover at this location. While all of my experiences at Sploot have been great (over two years), I don't seem to have the same team for more than two visits. I would encourage management to explore ways to retain these wonderful people. Thank you!!

We were a little hesitant on our visit since we’ve been having a hard time finding a new vet. And this team was great! Cheyenne and Dr. V were very sweet with Arlo and gave her a lot of affirmation for doing so well. This was the first vet appt she has had in years that she didn’t pee or poop herself from being scared. Everyone from checkin to the appointment were very kind, calm, and knowledgeable.

Absolutely amazing experience here. I love the front desk lady. I forgot her name but she was so kind and it felt refreshing to see how up beat she was. The vet was super straight forward and knew exactly what she was doing. Explained everything very clearly and my cat only got a couple vaccines, but they were reasonably priced. I really enjoyed the 89 dollar deposit thing so I only had to pay about $100 for two vaccinations. I don't have pet insurance and I was thinking it was going to be a few hundred at least. I was pleasantly surprised. I highly recommend this place. They will treat your pet with the upmost care ❤️

Sploot takes the best care of our puppy Chai and she absolutely loves going to the vet now! We got all her vaccines there and recently took her in for stomach issues. They were very thorough and friendly, especially Kamdon! Chai’s favorite ball is her Sploot red ball.

Sploot has been so wonderful to both of my dogs. I’ve been using Sploot’s services four three years now and while they are a bit more expensive than other vets, I have found that their customer service, kind team, broad hours, and great facilities make it totally worth it! Plus, their locations are super convenient when living in the city. I love them and will be going to them for years to come!
