How to Save Money at Shannon Veterinary Services

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.

We sadly had to say goodbye to one of our dogs in 2019 (she was 17 years old, and I had her since I was 7), and it was one of the most painful moments, but Shannon's made everything so professional, and made us as comfortable as we could be during such a difficult time. Since that day, I knew this was going to *MY* vet for my pups. (: I won't be going anywhere different. There have been SO many vets that I've gone to over the years that only seem to care about the dollar sign, and/or treat you and your pet like a number. After a while of not-so-great experiences, we genuinely felt like there weren't any good vet offices around. However, Shannon's is different. (: Every time I visit (whether for an annual check-up, surgery, vaccination, etc) they have always been exceedingly thoughtful, professional, and knowledgable, and the staff/vets will always go the extra mile to make sure your sweet pets are taken care of. They have INCREDIBLE customer service (they always check in with your pet, always remind you of your appointment, are completely transparent about pricing before any procedure, etc), and know exactly what you need before you even ask. (: Also, they have the most beautiful place/property, and the cutest farm animals walking around--it's so peaceful to be there! Basically, all I'm trying to say is: they are so amazing, and if I could give them more than 5 stars for this google review, I would! If you need a vet, this is your sign to go to Shannon's!

Dr. Shannon is wonderful. She took time to explain everything in layman's terms so I could understand what my pup's needs would be after surgery. She has a truly remarkable love for animals and it shows. With Dr. Shannon it's all about your pets comfort 'safety and health. I have found my forever vet. Buster loves her too.
