How to Save Money at VeterinaryCare at Belmont
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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.

Neglectful Vet - DO NOT RECOMMEND In short: I dropped my dog off for an early morning appointment. She was pushed to have her surgery completed at the end of the day ~5PM. No call, text, or message from the Vet to let me know my dog had been rescheduled. Further, my dog has severe separation anxiety - had we known she would be pushed, we would have rescheduled. Their inability to even contact me gives me zero hope that she was cared for during the entire day she was stuck in a cage. They asked that she start fasting the night before, so it was almost 24 hours before she had food. The list goes on with this vet's inability to schedule and properly care for animals. I do not recommend under any circumstances. I fully believe he will cause significant harm to an animal one day. Their rectification of the issue is to mark my file that I would stay with her the whole day? Complete lack of understanding, compassion, or responsiveness.

I'm extremely thankful for Dr. McLean, Ben, Alani & the remaining staff at VetCare @Belmont... They are literal life savers! My Bella had gone to TWO other vets, the first could not perform the procedure and the second wanted more than what I paid for my car for the procedure... (I'm not kidding).... My cat (Bella) had to have her right rear leg removed. I was lucky to have found them, the price was reasonable and no where near what I was previously quoted. They took excellent care of her and just two days from surgery and she is not only walking on three legs, but jumping up and down off my bed! They kept in contact with me the entire time, explained everything thoroughly, discussed all the payment options. They made a stressful situation very comfortable and I will say, although my cat was a great patient, my attitude was .... well less than pleasant... I was concerned for my animal, under a financial burden and honestly upset from the two prior vets. They understood my concerns, provided options and were just probably better to me than I deserved. So I thank you!! And my cat Thanks you!

Dr.McLean is the absolute BEST veterinarian I have ever dealt with. He literally saved my 13 year old Golden Retriever after my other vet wanted to put him down. I will never be able to thank him and his wonderful staff; Brenda, Alani and Ben for all they did for Harley and continue to do with my other 2 goldens, Frankie and Otto. Any time, day or night and even weekends they are always available. Dr. McLeans emergency after hours number is his personal cell phone. You can reach him by phone or text snd he will always reply. His office hours are amazing too! The entire staff goes above and beyond. I have never been more pleased with my pets veterinary care and his professional and caring demeanor. He truly loves what he does and it shows. Your pet is in wonderful hands from the moment you walk through the door! Thank you Dr. McLean and staff you truly are amazing!

Veterinary Care at Belmont is absolutely heaven sent. My cat Tam had an emergency at the end of last year and the Veterinary Care at Belmont team was the only vet office that was kind, compassionate, caring and patient with me and Tam as it was a super scary situation. This year my Tam begun to have horrible stomach problems and thanks to Dr. McLean I felt like my fur baby was in good hands. I can admit I am a very passionate and concerned pet mom, I ask A LOT of questions and need time to make decisions when it comes to my cats health. Dr McLean is SO patient, explains everything to me thoroughly & provides updates on Tam when she's in his care, to ease my spirit. The front desk staff & staff behind the scenes are also ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. They're kind, patient, knowledgeable and you can tell they truly love animals. This is the first time in a long time that I've felt safe and comfortable when it comes to dropping my Tam off at a vet and I am SO grateful for the day my mom learned of them.

I love this place! They have given wonderful care to our 10 year old Bella. She had to have major surgery and they walked us through every step of the way. They always called back in a timely manner. I would recommend them to anyone. THANK YOU for giving our Bella a better quality of life ❤
