How to Save Money at Royal Pets Market, Resort, Veterinary Center

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.

Horrible experience with the grooming services. Jagged, uneven, choppy cuts. Asked for a schnauzer cut and received a poorly executed shave. Do not let the groomer Philip touch your dog’s hair. He rushed the grooming and didn’t bother following through with our clearly stated requests—a simple schnauzer cut for both of our miniature schnauzers. If Philip has experience, it definitely does not show. The absolute worst groomer I’ve ever had the displeasure of utilizing. I would highly suggest Royal Pets address this issue to ensure Philip and/or other staff do not repeat his inexcusable mistakes. His work is sloppy and he obviously does not take pride in his work. Royal Pets should never have allowed this to happen. I was told the manager Shirley would call to discuss the issue, but never received a call. We will not be returning.

Would highly suggest another groomer. Have had to wait five hours to pick up our Dog. Too busy and chaotic not the place you want you’re Dog in that kind of environment. Better options elsewhere would highly suggest anywhere else but Royal Pets.

We have taken our dog here many times for day care. We have also used them once for long term boarding and 4-5 times for grooming. She is almost 1 year old and is not spayed yet, though she has not had her first heat. Today, after we dropped her off and on our way out of town, the staff informed us by phone that she would have to be crated all day. We were told their policy is that no dogs over 6 months can be allowed in the day care area unless fixed, even though she has been there multiple times since her 6 month mark. We were never told about this policy and were given no options or recourse today. I spoke to a manager and passionately requested a one time exception. She chose to enforce the policy over being humane to my dog, even though no unfixed males were present today. We were not charged for the visit, but it is very upsetting that they crated her up all day against our wishes (the very thing we wanted to avoid by taking her to daycare). We will choose a different provider for day care, bording and grooming moving forward.

They have more elusive brands of food, specifically cat treats. They have way more new freeze dried and raw foods that the competitors still don't have stocked. They're always helpful & friendly, and have cool accessories and toys for cats that other pet stores don't have. Prices are ok, but their selection is incomparable. Love this store.
