How to Save Money at Braselton Animal Hospital

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. Renfrow has been our veterinarian of choice for all of our animals the past few years, for check ups as well as unfortunate health concerns. They are hospitable, they take proper precautions as well as care for our pets, and their communication is outstanding. The vet isn’t always easy for pet or owner and they make it less stressful and overall relieving.

Choose somewhere else. Any other vet in the area, just not this one. I've personally never taken my animals there and I never will. However, I've been there 6 times with 5 different people and 6 different animals. Each time, it's been a bad experience. This last time was the worst. They returned the animal to the exam room with blood on his face and it was continuously bleeding. There was no advisement of anything. They literally just gave him back as is. They gave us some medicine with instructions and that was about it. Any questions we had were answered with attitude and 0 compassion for the situation. Also, they don't accept Care Credit. A card specifically designed for medical care billing. This place is old, it looks out of date, everything is bare and basic. It resembles a vets office from a 90s era. I'm not saying it's a bad practice, it just doesn't suit my needs and I don't recommend it. We won't be returning nor recommending this facility to anyone else. There are many other facilities in the area that are welcoming with much better staff and up to date equipment. The young lady at the front desk was a horrible representation of that company and the doctor. She seemed irritated that we were asking appropriate questions and was even aggressive in the way she answered them. My family has been a client of them for over 7 years and even though they were never a wonderful experience when we went up there, it was never as bad as this last one.

We fell in love with this place when we brought our first two dogs in. Wouldn't have went anywhere else. But over time, it just seemed to get less and less friendly. To make a long story short, our Doberman is off to a slow start when it comes to gaining weight and growing. We were educated in better food and what we should do, which is great! We appreciate that. But then we were asked where we got him and then was told that breeders have a clause where you can return the puppy. She basically sat there and told us to take him back before it’s too late. He is OUR DOG, and I would never expect a vet to tell us to return our baby boy. Not a good look and really left a bad taste in our mouth. Time to change our vet.

Dr. Rentfrow and her staff take wonderful care of our two dogs. She saved the life of our Brittany when he got very sick as a puppy, and she has taken great care of our GSP Maggie during several surgeries (one for spaying, two for removing growths). Dr. Rentfrow is very practical with her care for my animals, listens to my needs/concerns, and never pressures me to spend more than necessary. I highly recommend Braselton Animal Hospital!

My dog was having problems and also needed her shots. The staff was great and caring. Doctor gave us good advice on how to treat her symptoms.
