How to Save Money at Britt Veterinary 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.

Dr. Leslie has been very caring and kind when providing care for my diabetic dog. Her and her staff were also very patient and kind on his last day. I am very grateful for the care and compassion Dr Leslie showed to both Max and I.

My best friend..found her at 6 weeks abandoned from her mother, near death, took her in and nursed her back to life. Her and I have a connection that only some would understand. 11 years later she has head multiple ear problems resulting in bacteria eating her flesh away. Multiple vets I tried and then I was told to try the Britt vet clinic. They did blood work, opened her abyss under her ear, clean her inner ear, tried various antibiotics and pain relief and got to the point they referred me to Iowa State because they simply couldn't help her anymore. The other vets...just gave ointment and sent her on her way. Britt vets were honest with me and did the best they could. Thank you so much for your honesty and your care for my Princess Abby Kitty.

Dr. Leslie Lancaster was just awesome with our new lab puppy Finn! I have never had a very spend so much quality time checking him out and giving him second round of shots. You tell she loves her job and animals.

Absolutely love this place Dr. Lancaster is so kind and gentle with our pets. She also explains everything she does or every test she runs, and always asks lots of questions to get a better understanding of pets condition. I've been to many different vets in different towns over the years and she by far exceeds them in compassion and understanding that each pet is an individual and not just another patient.

Was disappointed that the receptionist couldn't tell me why, during my dogs dental cleaning, they had to pull a molar. I'm not angry in any way, just bad customer service for an otherwise top notch vet clinic in my.opinion. When I asked upon picking up my dog the answer the receptionist gave was, "I don't really know. "
