How to Save Money at Advanced Veterinary

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.

“Dr.Jackson and his awesome team exemplify compassion, care, and competency. He took the time to listen and examine our dog Yogi and learn about his ailments and was so present and warm. We were very impressed with his extensive knowledge and super smart solutions. (His father was a Vet and therefore, Dr.Jackson spent his entire life understanding animals; and it really shows). We run a charity to help shelter pets and understand the value and importance of having a stellar Vet to protect your pets with the best care. Don’t waste your time going anywhere else, Dr.Jackson is the “Rolls Royce” of Veterinarians.”

Horrible doctor. Had my dogs consultation to which Dr. Jackson who spent only 5 mins in the room and said how messed up my dog’s leg is and here are the options. I was given two options and was told they would not question my decision and they are here to do what I think is best for my dog because they agree with either of them and gave me estimates and info for both. After considering both options and the fact (that now two doctors have said) that one of the options might not work fully on my dog given how disfigured his femur is I chose a pretty drastic option which was not an easy decision. Fast forward to the day of surgery I have taken off over a week from work, had people from the other coast coming in, in my absence for that time in preparation so I could properly care for my dog after surgery. I drop him off at 8am and at 10am I get a call from the doctor who is very nonchalant and said he won’t be doing the surgery because my dog with his disfigured leg has gotten used to lightly walking on his tip-toes so “he’s fine”. I am obviously angry at this point because he is absolutely not fine and the X-rays are proof of that. Was this not the point of the consult that I had to pay $75 for? Or the several weeks leading up to the surgery where I brought in a $500 deposit and asked every possible question about this surgery and about recovery? He chose the day of surgery and two hours after I dropped him off to decide he wasn’t going to do it. He said I should be happy we are not doing such a drastic surgery, I would have been if this conversation happened at anytime before the day of surgery! And because I was angry at his lack of communication he said he will not do any surgery on my dog as I am a liability due to being angry at the situation. He has now also ruined me getting a proper second opinion because they claim I am upset with the risks of surgery?! I know there is always a risk. That has nothing to do with this situation. I’m glad this incompetent doctor never opened up my dog. I have since heard from multiple people just how incompetent and rude he is from their own experiences with him including talking down to them because they ask a simple question and are uneducated in the vet med world. When I told him I want my $500 back he said “hm I guess we could do that for you” seriously? You guess? Would highly suggest looking for a different professional for anyone in search of a surgeon who will give you the time of day to properly evaluate your dogs needs during a consultation.

I would highly recommend Dr. Jackson and his staff! They are all so friendly and thoughtful. I just wish I had found out about them sooner. I started taking, Emmi, my yellow lab dog, to Advanced Veterinary about a couple months ago. I was told by another veterinarian that some masses could not be removed. Took her to Advanced Veterinary, and within a week Dr. Jackson and his team removed both masses. Dr. Jackson came highly recommended to me by some friends that take their dogs there. He and his team are so thoughtful. Dr. Jackson is so compassionate. I recently had to put my dog, Emmi, down. She had been my sidekick for 14 years. He gave me every option and explanation to what he could do, but in the end putting her down was the best option for Emmi. It put an end to her suffering I can't give the doctor enough praise for being so compassionate in my situation. Again, I highly recommend Dr. Jackson and his staff!

Dr Jackson is wonderful. Our French Bulldog required surgery for his back and everywhere we went to wanted nearly $9,000 up front with no payment plans. Dr. Jackson was able to get us in and do the surgery for less than half of that! Still no payment plans, but a lot more reasonable to handle price wise. It’s been 4 weeks since the surgery and Ben is recovering great! He’s still a little wobbly, but physical therapy is doing wonders and his back is all healed up. If it weren’t for being shaved, you’d hardly be able to tell he just had major back surgery!! Thank you TJ and your team!!!
