How to Save Money at Wendy Biggs DVM
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.

Wendy and her staff are excellent. They took amazing care of our cat Mocha. She decided it was a good idea to eat 1/2 of a nerf bullet. Wendy and her staff had to do surgery to remove it from both her stomach and intestines. They got down to what was going on with her very quickly and were very affordable. We would never have been able to afford to have that surgery anywhere else. You can tell she cares deeply about all of her patients. We are so thankful to have such a great Vet to bring our animals too. And when you’re waiting you get to hang out with her birds and Cat. Thank you again Wendy & Staff for you’re dedication and hard work.

I came to Dr. Wendy last year for a second opinion. She saved me and my pup from going through a $700 surgery with her wise assessment. She determined it was a Histiocytoma and would resolve upon being aspirated. Now I bring all my animals to her. She is affordable, very knowledgeable, and easy to talk to.

Dr Wendy and her staff have saved me thousands, first with an emergency c-section and now with a fractured leg. She is both caring and extremely knowledgeable in her veterinary practice. Dr Wendy knows her stuff and will actually talk to you about procedures, etc. Five stars is too low!!

I finally got a chance to take my pups to Dr. Biggs for ear cropping. Her staff is amazingly friendly and professional; they are extremely patient and thorough when it comes to explaining things and answering any questions I had; I drive close to three hours (each way) and it was very well worth the trip. I can say with certainty, she’s one of my favorite vets I’ve had for my pets. I will return and highly recommend her! Added bonus is the serenity of the location and scenic drive.
