How to Save Money at Lawrenceville Animal Care Center

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.

My dog had surgery with Dr. Grubbs and everything went well. They called for a follow up on how she was doing and their prices are very affordable. My baby was walking and eating the next day!

Due to mishandling of a surgery! They took away my friends cat. My friends cat was taken in for a tooth extraction and they over dosed her on anesthesia, after the surgery was over the cat didn’t wake up!!! Prior to this surgery I did take my cat to them for a few times to figure out what is wrong with my cat and they kept giving me wrong diagnosis. They are responsible for this and they are not taking any responsibility. I will sue them

We arrived from NC late Friday night to visit family and our Bichon was up all night attempting to have a bowel movement. Found Dr. Grubbs online and showed up as soon as they opened. Dr. Grubbs had compassion for our dog and accepted her as a walk-in. Very positive experience from entire staff and especially Dr. Grubbs. Our fur baby was feeling better after 1st dose of antibiotics and probiotics. We really appreciate the professionalism, compassion and reasonable prices. I’d recommend them 100%. Such a blessing are people like this!

I got my cat Boarded here for 5 days, no complaint with my cat. He seems well taken care of. My only complaint is the fact I was never told over the phone when I asked about pricing that they do require a wellness exam which is an extra 51$ plus the deflea which is another 7$. I was only told it was 132 for 5 days. I had just had my cat a month ago at a different vet office have a wellness exam and Brought in the vaccine docs that even showed that wellness exam was done along with up to date vaccines. but that didn’t matter. That didn’t really suite me well since they charged me for that when he just had one done nor about the deflea thing. My cat doesn’t even have fleas. He’s an indoor cat. So an extra 58$ for nothing. I did ask about it the day I dropped off my cat and was told it’s needed once a year for the cat, but it’s the fact I just had one and had documentation provided showing he had literally had one a month ago. Spent more money then I was originally told to just come to the office the day to board him and boom surprise more money and when I pay and get home and look at the bill that’s when I noticed the deflea that no one mentioned to me either. Kinda felt being taken advantage of. And the dark skin girl at the front is not the most friendly person either. Doesn’t smile and doesn’t make you feel welcome nor happy to answer your questions. Receptionist are the face of the company who represent someone who takes part in caring for your animals. Not too sure if I want to come back after being over charged like that without notice. Really left a bad taste in my mouth, honestly. This was also my first boarding experience as a pet owner as well.

Since the 00s, I've brought cats and dogs here. I used to be down the street and now I'm over an hour away. The staff is caring to the animals. They understand pets are part of the family. I'm pleased with the staff treating my furry babies.
