How to Save Money at Dr. Dawn DeLong

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.

Dr. Don DeLong is by far the absolute greatest exotic pet Veterinarian I have ever had the pleasure to know. He has an incredible beside manner and wraps you up in his joyfulness. You makes you feel like family and has such compassion. His understanding and indepth research on exotics is mind blowing. He carries himself with confidence yet grace and is so, so kind. He takes care of my aged guinea pig that I adore and treatesd him like King Tut. He pulled out all the bells and whistles in treating him and we had a successful surgery removing a tumor. The staff are EXCEPTIONAL as well and always helpful and friendly. This is a one in a million practice and I am forever greatful.

Came HIGHLY recommend by our neighbor as we are new to area. . Dr DeLong examined our cat Pebbles and then had her nails trimmed. We choose to remain in our car and Dr. DeLong spoke with us via telephone afterwards. She was extremely pleasant as was her representative who came outside to bring paperwork and take Pebbles. Will definitely make this Pebbles vet.

Everyone there was extremely respectful and nice when I went in to have my pet rat put down. Everyone acted professional and were very sympathetic and understanding throughout the whole process. They treated her with care and even gave me back her footprints stamped in clay as well as a small bottle with some of her fur. I highly recommend this clinic to any rat owners. Thank you to everyone there for making the process just a little bit easier.

Dr. Donnie Delong is a great vet, he cares about every animal not just domestics but also exotics. I never thought I would find a vet that would be good to my bird but he is absolutely the best! I can't imagine where we would be without him. We are no to him and he has already done so much for my animals. I am so thankful.
