How to Save Money at Southern Trails Vet

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.

Southern Trails is amazing. After having not so great Veterinarian experiences elsewhere, they were a breath of fresh air. They were incredibly patient with Carrie and did not push or break her boundaries. They worked at her pace and did their best to make her comfortable despite her stress. They were willing to work with me when it came to payment on her spay, and it was honestly the most affordable in this area. Very friendly and sweet Staff, I encourage you take your animals here. They even do Happy Visits to get your animals more comfortable with Vet Staffing! Lovely people, cannot recommend them enough!

We had a wonderful experience at this vet and I think we’ve found a new vet for our babies. I was able to get in for an urgent appointment the next morning using the online scheduling tool at 4am when my dog was pooping blood. It was such a relief that I didn’t have to wait until all of the local vets open and start calling to see who could take us last minute. The office staff was amazing and very hospitable! The vet Tech Harrison was so kind and calm… my dog loved him! The Vet himself took a lot of time with us and explained everything thoroughly! I appreciate that this Doctor listened, was non-judgmental, and even tried to save us money! He was knowledgeable and informative, and I truly feel he had my pet’s best interest in mind. Coming from Florida we had an amazing vet that we were very sad to leave(we have so many pets to worry about), but we are so happy that we found Southern Trails!

We needed a vet closer to our house since we were getting Zoey a puppy sibling and had noticed a newer office that had opened not far from us—we are so happy to have found Dr. Bain! If you need an awesome vet in a convenient location with the sweetest team and a beautiful office check them out! The entire team is so sweet and spends the time to be sure all our questions are answered and we have all the information on how to keep our fur babies the healthiest. Cosmo got a little bag at his first visit but Zoey pulled rank and took the 🎾 for herself, our doodles love their tennis balls!

I absolutely LOVE southern trails vet! I had an emergency with my dog and they were able to fit her in the same day and have her on the surgery schedule for the next morning! Dr. Bain and his team took excellent care of my baby girl and did a beautiful job with her surgery!! I couldn’t be happier and more thankful. The customer service there is top tier and nothing like I have ever experienced before, and service prices were affordable, even for an emergency. I have definitely found a “fur-ever” vet. They even took extra care to accommodate my sweet girl who is very anxious around new people and animals.

I just recently switched to Southern Trails Vet because our other vet was closed during the holidays. We had such a wonderful experience we decided to switch over to them permanently for our pets vet care. The office is clean, the staff is very welcoming , we never have to wait long to be seen and the vet spends a long time looking over our pet. I don’t feel rushed and the vet takes time to answer any questions I may have! I highly recommend Southern Trails vet. Melissa F (Sadie’s mom)☺️
