How to Save Money at Piedmont Animal Clinic

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.

I work with a local grooming and boarding facility, so we interact with a lot of vet offices to get records and the like. I have never had a pleasant interaction with this facility, and their unwillingness to provide records on behalf of their clients makes it almost impossible to accept clients whose pets go here. Though the phone is answered by the vet herself, don't let this impress you. I'm convinced it's because she cannot find people to work for her due to her hateful and apathetic bedside manner. I have had to turn clients away who were waiting to be checked in for scheduled services because the vet would currently be with a patient and wouldn't be able to send the required records for a bit. I encourage vets seeing their patients, but why is the vet answering phone calls if they are currently in an appointment? There's other staff for that. I would recommend finding a vet office with that kind of staff. If nothing else, it means that your vet is a tolerable enough person to work with. If you are a pet owner interested in ever having your pet boarded or groomed, I would strongly recommend taking them ANYWHERE else than this place.

1st time using this vet for my 3yo Havenese who had an ear irritation. Dr. Geren was very thorough doing a quick exam including legs, eyes and hips. She provided a prescription which cleared up in the ear problem in a few days. I'll be using this clinic again.

Down to earth vet. First visit. Reasonable price. Vet is not personable and will not be a good fit for all owners but does good work on your pet. Gave discount on a feral

Been going to Dr Geren for about 5 years, and I still feel she is the best! My Beagle likes going there and so do I. She knows what she is doing and what's best for my dog. He has had some problems, but she always knows what to do to fix them. That cat lady that commented, sounds like she needs help, not her cat!!!
