How to Save Money at Louisville 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.

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.

Dr Bender took care of my yellow lab, Abby, until she passed at 13 years old. He now is taking care of our dogs Sally and Sage. Dr Bender is an excellent veterinarian and has provided absolutely wonderful care. So thankful to have found him and his private practice over a decade ago. He is so patient, thorough and takes his time, I can always make an appointment when a healthcare situation arises. His staff is also so friendly and helpful when I call with questions. Thank you Louisville Veterinary Clinic for all that you do to help the members of our family :).

Dr. Bender is an amazing resource in our community. He has taken great care of our family pets for the past 18 years! He is always open minded and offers a wealth of expertise in a way that is never pushy but comes from his heart and from many years of experience. Having moved away from Louisville for a chunk of time and used a variety of vets, I can honestly say I was thrilled when we returned to the area and found that Dr. Bender is still practicing. He guided us compassionately and patiently through critical times - not only with our cats, but also with our dogs. I will never bring my pets to anyone else as long as Dr Bender’s doors are open for service!

Dr. Bender was recommended to me by a friend. She had been telling me about him for years. We moved further north and needed to find a new vet so we decided on Dr. Bender. What an awesome vet he is!!! My only regret is not seeing him sooner. In all our years of pet ownership, I must say, he is the best vet we have ever been to. Dr. Bender has the kindest soul. His love for animals is evident in his gentle and kind demeanor.
