How to Save Money at Barking Lot
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.

I brought our pups in yesterday for grooming. One of our pups has very short hair, the other's is longer, so they have different needs. And they are both fairly large (70+ pounds each). We came flying in the door and they were immediately swooped up by the staff while I checked them in. When I came to pick them up, I couldn't believe how good they both looked!!! I didn't consider my short haired girl a candidate for a whole lot, as she has short hair. But she had gotten just as much love and attention as my longer haired girl! And they both were so much happier, smelled good, looked great! When I got them home, my husband even commented that this was the best grooming they'd ever had. Great job ladies and gents!!! Of course, nothing stopped them from rolling in the grass when they got home, lol. But they still smell good a day later!!!

Love, love love the Barking Lot team! There are very few groomers who take the time to know you and your pets, and make their care a priority. Spaniels can be knuckleheads, and mine aren’t always predictable. Stacy is a pup-whisperer, and figures out how to make them happy. This is a very familial environment, where everyone is treated very well. Disclaimer: I have known Stacy most of my life, and the long-standing trust and her talent are everything.

This is the only place I'll take my dog for grooming and boarding. Every time I leave him, they treat him like family. We last left him for 10 days and he came back to us fresh and clean, and most of all happy. The personal attention the give him is key with his separation anxiety. I'd give 10 stars if I could
