How to Save Money at American Veterinary Group, LLC
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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.

They own magnolia animal hospital. I called to tell them about the rude manager. That gave me one price for my dog,and when I picked her up it was double.I payed the whole amount. Then I ordered meds from Chewy, They told Chewy they never heard of me.Horrable way to do business.

After a yearly exam on my 13 year old dog, there to just get the rabies, DHPP and Bordetella shots. Unfortunately, he also had an ear infection. After trying to upsell me on MANY unnecessary tests for other things, the vet, Dr Hill came in. Duke also had a skin tag she could remove. Then all is said and done and I check out to an almost $400 bill! NONE of the pricing was discussed with me PRIOR. Apparently the Dr thought the tech discussed and the tech thought the Dr discussed. But, neither of them did. I would have NOT had some things done, as I am on a tight budget, as I just lost my husband. Called and Tracy was condescending and had no empathy at all, admitting things went wrong, as the pricing should have been discussed. I will NOT step foot back into this establishment even after going there for 6 years with 3 dogs. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Their vet prescribed my dog a controlled substance that can’t be stopped cold turkey or shouldn’t be. I called today and they have refused service so I found another Vet . Last time I was there they tried to draw my dog’s blood in the lobby. Why have exam rooms? The Cairo practice manager is very rude and her daughter is employed there and should be a conflict of interest. She thinks it’s appropriate to share a post that she often whispers in the ears of pet parents that “your owner is an idiot”. Delete it I have the screenshots. This vet is owned by AVG (American Vet Group ) in Tampa Florida. I’ve called for over a month and no results. It’s all about money. They refused services but continue to solicit my email. I will be filing complaints with veterinarian board. Absolutely do not recommend this place. I spent hundreds at another vet today. Run from this place (based on my experiences) Their employees have time to post on Facebook when they should be working and insist on doing their procedures out of pet parent’s presence. They care….about your money.

I had used Scott’s Creek for many years before being sold to this group. Instantly downhill. It is all about the money. One new Vet addition is not acceptable. I had two interactions with him, both horrible. One pet died after we brought her home. When Dr. Cartner owned the clinic it was excellent. Most of the original crew has left. Prices increased immediately and attitudes changed. If Cartner left I would leave also. Unfortunately this is not uncommon when taken over by a conglomerate. So sad.
