How to Save Money at Kimberly Jennings, 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.

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.

My puppy, 16 years old, was suffering, I walked into the clinic and everyone was very nice and they squeezed me into their schedule. He had lymphoma they found out and I chose to put him to sleep cause he was miserable. They were thoughtful and kind, and the Dr. explained everything he was doing. They made a very sad event a bit more tolerable. I thank them very much. Sampson And Bambi Pierson and family.

Since I was advised by the receptionist that the doctor was unable to speak to us about our cat that had elective surgery the day before, I’ll have to post it here. The excuse was she had 12 appointments that day. When I expressed my anger, I was hung up on. I simply wanted to stress the importance of not assuming customers know what will happen after surgery. We were not told the cat would have to wear a plastic collar for two weeks. We were not aware we would have to give pain meds for 4 days. We were also not aware of the amount of fur shaved off and the huge incision. It’s Was quite a shock when we let her out of the crate. The collar was too big for her to eat or drink. We had to take it off and cut it down. Dr. Jennings is an excellent vet. It seems as though she might be taking on too much business to take care about Of the clients she has. At a point, we were called almost daily to see if we were going to have the surgery done. It was borderline harassment. Had we been given the after care instructions before the surgery , we would have never had it done at that time. We have to travel back well before the two weeks needed to recover and have stitches removed. Now we have added expense of paying another vet to remove the stitches. Lastly, We paid close to $1000 this year for our 3 cats care. The doctor is too busy to talk to us is not acceptable. I don’t think Dr. Jennings would approve if she knew. Your business is only as good as the people answering the phone.

Dr. Jennings is a caring and awesome vet. Took our girl in with a bladder full of stones and she worked with us to remedy situation. Love that the vet takes time to discuss the issues with us. They are taking all precautions for COVID-19 and doing curbside service for drop off and pick up. Couldn’t ask for better service. Have had our other dogs there in the past. Dr. Eden is missed but Dr. Jennings is a fine replacement and he has been gone forever!!!

Very reasonable in regards to treatment pricing without losing the compassion. I can't say enough good about the staff and doctor herself!!! Each and every one of them made us feel like we were the only ones there and only ones that mattered. I'm glad my dog found them. I would not trust him with any other vet. Highly recommended!!!!
