How to Save Money at Zutilla Pet Clinic

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.

First let me say, Dr. Gregory and staff is always professional, kind, and attentive. Unfortunately like us, we find that often the times we see our Vets & Doctors, it isn't when we are at our best. My previous Guardian Angel, my German Shepherd I lost the end of last year, had been a patient during her final years. This was my first visit where Gamma, my Dutch Shepherd Service Dog was having to be seen. He and I seemed to come down with something and we weren't at our best. And Gamma had to dawn his Hannibal Lecter muzzle, which absolutely doesn't reflect his personality 99% of the time. But as always I can't say thank you enough to everyone's help and for checking up on him over the next few days.

I just took my 12 week old kitten there today and even with just two people on staff this morning. They handled everything amazing! They were gentle and kind to my pinto bean and most importantly my kitten was comfortable and that made me happy!

I had to bring in my beloved dog to have him put down. It broke my heart to have to make this decision but the staff were super helpful and understanding and never pushed it on me like another vet had years ago when he first had a bad spell. I appreciate everyone here so much for giving me all the help and letting me have as long with him as I needed and they showed him love and kindness and petted him along with me till the end. Thank y'all for helping me through one of the worst times in my life. I will use them for routine kitty checkups from now on. Thanks so much again for being so helpful and understand and compassionate
