How to Save Money at A Cat Clinic Inc

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.

We had dental work done on our cat Simon. 8 teeth removed. I was nervous because Simon is my baby and had a cough but they assured me that he was in good hands and he was. We went to the beach office. We originally had an appointment 2 months away but thankfully we got on the cancellation list and got in 2 months earlier. Simon has always been a very happy, very cuddly cat but I think he's even more happier and it seems even more cuddley now that his bad teeth are gone. During his first visit/checkup they noticed an error the previous clinic missed and updated his meds and they also treated his ear with something that worked. He's always had itchy ears and none of the other meds from any of the previous clinics worked successfully.

Best experience at the Vet we have ever had ! It’s been a struggle for our 15 year old calico going to the vet for years , so sadly we avoided going . She’s always been very healthy but recently had a healthy scare . They took her in so sweetly and made her feel as calm as I’ve ever seen her at the vet .. thank you ladies for taking such good care of our girl . We will continue to take her here for any of her future health needs ! We found our place finally .

I used to get my cat treated at Forever Vets and they were fine about 80% of the time but after a string of incidents including being prescribed dog flea medicine (fatal to cats) and cutting my cat's nails past the quick I knew I needed to find a different vet. I have been to both A Cat Clinic locations and I wholeheartedly recommend both. Everyone who has seen my cat has been incredibly patient with and caring towards him.

Have been to both the Jax Beach location and San Jose location. Both are staffed by very kind staff and veterinarians. You can tell that they enjoy their careers taking care of felines !
