How to Save Money at L'Amie Sandra S 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.

If you are looking for a vet or simply want to switch to the best vet in the region, schedule with Dr.L'Amie. We have lived all over the US and Dr.L'Amie is the best vet we've ever had.

We like how Dr. L'Amie treats our dogs with her holistic practice. She gave our one lab 6 months of life with us as another vet fave him 6 weeks max, when he had lymphoma. We also ( our 2 labs actually) love to board at her daughter's facility, A place for pets.

My parents and I, have been bringing our fur babies to see Dr. L’Amie for over 20 years. She has been there to help us at a moments notice when the unexpected occurs. Dr. L’Amie is trained in offering the traditional styles of veterinary care and the holistic approaches as well. If you are new to the holistic side of things, that’s ok, as she will give you both sides of the spectrum and choices. It is a very good way of treating not just the symptoms, but of also working towards understanding and treating the causes, which often times traditional medicine overlooks or ignores. I tend to be on the fence sometimes about the entirety of the holistic approaches, however, there is no denying that Dr.L’Amie and her staff have a lot of knowledge, experience, and love for our animals. If you are a skeptic of holistic approaches that’s fine, but don’t let that dissuade your views as to how to use that extra knowledge towards what might be ailing your furry friend. Take it as another piece of knowledge and advice from people who have seen it all and have a larger understanding of how the foods and chemicals in our world affect our pets than anyone else I could ever think of. You will be able to leave your visit having just that much more insight and information, choosing how you wish to use that information is up to you. Her advice and diagnoses, from a medical standpoint, are spot on and I feel her treatment options take into consideration some things other vets sometimes do not, such as age of the animal, breed, sensitivities, vaccination history and the effects of, etc. I’ve always felt her experience and expertise in the veterinary world are abundantly apparent. I’ll admit sometimes all the information can be a bit overwhelming because it usually involves things we as humans don’t think much about, are ignorant of, or take for-granted. I can assure you though, having the extra information and choices are far superior to not. I often go home to research and read about some of the things she has spoken to us about for our dog, to find that much of the information is beneficial to us humans as well. We have made dietary changes, for example, that have benefited us greatly, both pet and owners. It helps us to feel like we are being more proactive in our pets health, and our own, as opposed to just being told here is a pill to give and then not thinking much further than that. She and her staff have helped us keep our dog happier and healthier than, in my opinion most, while also helping us to be more aware of the things in the foods and environment around not just our pets, but around us as well.

I have had several vets and Dr. L'Amie has taken the best care of my pet. Even follows up with a call or ways to get in touch if not open.
