How to Save Money at Long Laney DVM

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 do not have the words to describe how much Dr. Long helped me and my cat, Niki. Niki had a long battle with Kidney Failure and had declined considerably very rapidly. It was unacceptable to me to let her continue suffering. I was not comfortable taking her to be euthanized at the vet's because Niki was so scared of the vet's office, even though Niki was a frequent visitor. I wanted her to be as comfortable as possible. I've never had an animal euthanized before and it was indescribably hard to choose this, but I was aware of Niki's condition and how much more worse it could get. With Dr. Long's help Niki was able to pass peacefully in her own home. This is one of the most miserable days of my life but Niki's inevitable passing couldn't have gone better. I had never seen Dr. Long before and she had been recommended to me by someone else. She responded very quickly and promptly to my phone call and made an appointment with me with me that was essentially immediate. She understood the importance of this situation. From the very first moment I spoke to her I felt her overwhelming compassion. Despite how upsetting and miserable the situation was, this was the absolute best experience I have ever had with a veterinarian. Dr. Long is really a wonderful person and I could not recommend her enough. If you're reading this, thank you Dr. Long. I can't thank you enough for your compassion. You have made a world of difference to me and made this difficult experience as good as it could possibly be.

I’m so grateful to have found Dr. Laney. She was extremely compassionate and showed so much love for our beloved Rambo when she helped us with his passing. She felt like a member of our family which put him at ease. Dr. Laney got us on her schedule right away, was prompt, and professional.

Dr. Laney Long is a wonderful asset to the veterinary community in the QC. She primarily does house calls, but as necessary works with other community animal clinics if the need arises. I have an older dog who has trouble getting to the office vet. She's had several mini-strokes over the years and it's a challenge to get her in the car. By the time we arrive for the consult at a typical vet office, I feel that her symptoms get masked by adrenaline. Dr. Long comes into the home, and observes in a non-threatening environment. When I first called Dr. Long, I was considering in-home euthanasia, right after my dog had her last mini-stroke. She was not doing well. Dr. Long assessed my dog, 4 days after that stroke, and let me know that her heart was still strong, that her gastrointestinal functions were fine, and that she did not appear to be in any pain (other than arthritis) and that she wasn't ready to go. Dr. Long was right. My dog is getting better every day. She'll never be the spry puppy that she was, but she's still with us for now. I realize that at some point I might need to make a tough decision. But for now, we are good. Thanks Dr. Long.

We can't thank Dr. Long enough for taking loving care of our good boy at the end of his life. He liked her immediately and it was a very peaceful passing. It was an immense relief to be in our own home with him at his passing and having her take care of all the details afterwards.
