How to Save Money at Pou Veterinary Group

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. Pou and the entire staff here are absolutely amazing. From the welcoming front desk staff, the friendliness of the techs, and the wealth of information and attention that Dr. Pou delivers. You can feel the love they have for their job. My Bambi girl is treated with such care. We are so happy we found Pou Veterinary Group that we are making the switch for our old man Zeus. Thank you Dr. Pou and staff 💓

Dr Pou saved Nala’s life and forever we will be grateful. We had just rescued Nala from someone that didn’t not want her. We were told she had a little cold but it turned out she had pneumonia and was very very sick. If it had not being by dr Pou, Nala would not be the healthy puppy she is today. Dr Pou took care of her 4 days and made sure she would be healthy and survive all the health issues she had shown when exam her. He has a heart of gold towards the puppy and us. Thank you Dr Pou. God bless you and your staff abundantly.

On the surface this place seems amazing. Kind and caring staff, clean and great location but once the invoices start coming in, they charge astronomical fees for the most ridiculous things. They charge more than double what you would be paying at most other vets. Not to mention that the young staff did seem a bit inexperienced and could never give me a solid answer or even ball park answer as to what to expect for pricing. I was initially quoted about $500 for a spay for my 10lb healthy dog. When I arrived the day of the consultation, I paid over $300 for pre-op labs and was told they were only good for 2 weeks (A LIE! They are good for 3 months.) In order to save my surgery spot on the schedule I would have to pay an additional $100 apart from the actual spay. The treatment plan for the spay was over $1000!!. They try to pressure you into making quick (and expensive) decisions at this location. When I went to my new vet and showed them my quotes from POU Vet they were in utter disbelief and it was paraded around the office as a ROBBERY. If you're reading this, please save your time and money. If they were really interested in the health of your pet, they would NOT be taking advantage of the pet owners the way that they do. RUN!! -An honorable mention is that they do not allow their guests to use their restroom. They have you go into the smoothie spot next door where the staff is fed up with the constant "I'm just here for the restroom."
