How to Save Money at Animal Medical Clinic-Laurens

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.

I visited this place last Friday with my very very sick beloved fur baby cat and he had been sick for 2 days and she proceeded to tell us same us, as she has some other people on here, that he had some sort of upper respiratory infection and some kind of blockage in his urethra after he's been foaming out the mouth and throwing up and nonetheless I didn't have $500 so she wouldn't see or treat my dying baby at all and turned me away crying and knowing that he was going to die and as I'm walking out the door she (the veterinarian) says no hey yeah Care Credit and then walks away. Not to mention that one or more of the girls who work the front were, upon arrival, VERY VERY unprofessional approachable, non personable and down right rude. I mean I stood before these women devastated because I knew that that woman that calls herself a veterinary was the help that my baby needed and she wouldnt help me at all and then to top that off the in called for very apparent criticism of judgement from MOST of the employees was tragic. Below is the very last time I will ever get 2 see my SumeKuma😞😭😥😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I have two chocolate lab puppies, my female guide and urinary tract infection at three months. Dr. Potts did not want to see her. I hung up the phone drove up there and made them see her. She has hurt her leg and back pulled a muscle and did not want to see her again, so I got somebody else to see her and staff was very rude so was Dr. Potts I am thinking about changing doctors I do not have patients for my babies getting treated rudely and when I need help I need help now And my babies are my children and when there is an emergency, you do not leave your baby alone and wait for somebody to call you on the phone to tell you somethings wrong I’ll live 30 to 45 minutes away. Gas cost too much to drive back and forth.

My dog was sick and I called Animal Medical Clinic of Lauren’s who I have used for regular checkups for 3 years but they could not see him. He was bleeding from rectum. Took him to Smalley’s and they said they were not taking new patients. Told them what was happening and they said to leave him and they would get to him but it may be over the weekend. While I was filling out papers Dr Jim Hobby had already seen him and gave me his diagnosis and course of treatment. I would HIGHLY recommend them.
