How to Save Money at Dr. Tripp, A L DVM

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 are new to the area and my fur baby stayed to deteriorate rapidly and I had to make a hard decision at a quality of life appointment for our almost 18 year old dog. Sadly our first visit at this location. Everyone was so kind and compassionate and as sad and unwanted as this day was, they couldn’t have done any better.

Love this Vet and the staff. They have cared for all of mine and my family's fur babies for over 30 yrs. Have complete trust and faith that Andy and Jake will give mine and all others pets the best possible care.

We had ourselves and emergency bladder stone situation with our girl, Shelby, and Dr. Tripp and his staff went above and beyond making us feel comfortable with our decision to bring her there. This is NOT an emergency facility, but I think the doctor could see the panic in our eyes. The staff is friendly, genuine, and knowledgeable. They are busy because they are GOOD at what they do. When it is your turn to be seen, they give you 100% We love this place. Thank you Dr. Tripp for saving our Shelby.

I will take our pets nowhere else. The employees were all very nice. It went like clockwork and the best part was it was the least expensive Vet visit I've ever had. I was worried about our dogs nervous nature but they were great and it all went off without a hitch. I've had nothing but bad experiences in the last 13 years and this one has changed it all for us. We will be back.

They just saved my poor dog from Parvo. Over the years I have had 2 dogs and 2 cats. All have been treated here. The Dr's and Staff are outstanding and the price is always less than anticipated. This is the best animal hospital in Cartersville period!
