How to Save Money at Dawson Pharmacy

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.

This is not the same welcoming pharmacy I used 9 months ago to a year ago. Very unwelcoming and rude. Use to be easy to run in and grab what's needed, now it's jumping through hoops unnecessarily! Avoid if at all possible!

The employee on the phone was rude, didn’t fill the RX I called in a day before, the price was $70. The experience inside the store was not welcomed, not wanted even. When I got there, no prescription was filled, and quoted me $90. Had to do it bc the doctor is closed and they can’t transfer it. Never Again!! thought that the chain pharmacies were bad, but the only good thing they have going for them is they filled mine quickly. Maybe to get rid of me.

I decided to try supporting my local business and I am very happy I did. I have put my prescriptions with Dawson Pharmacy. I received personal care and the prices were cheaper than the chain stores. Thanks 👍

I can’t say enough good things about Dawson Pharmacy! They always have the nicest staff and the best prices! I’ve been going here since they opened, and I’ll never go anywhere else! I always leave happy, heard, and knowing that they tried everything in the book to get our prescriptions to us incredibly fast (sometimes immediately), and for the absolute lowest price. So thankful for this place!!

I LOVE this pharmacy ..... I have been with several large chain pharmacies and they have all been pretty much the same. You are pretty much just ONE customer in the MASSES, sorta like one ant in an ant hill. With everyone of those big companies there just was absolutely no individual concern about me or my orders. So many of the times when I came to pick up my prescriptions something was missing or the order was not ready. At DAWSON Pharmacy the treat you as a valued customer. They take the extra steps to make certain your order is right and ready. They always greet you in a friendly manner. It is really refreshing to go into a place where you get great service, a place where you feel like your business is truly appreciated !!!
