How to Save Money at Access Veterinary Care

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.

Recently visited with my Coonhound who was a new patient. Access has a very organized system for setting up the appointment which I loved! I filled out a questionaire/info online when setting up the appt which saved time from having to do it at the vet's office since my dog is a new patient. This allowed me to walk right in their front door for our appt and straight back to the room with my dog vs having to sit in the waiting room with her (she is too vocal for that, lol). So it was much appreciated. They sent a text and email for the appt confirmation so with one click, it was confirmed. They sent texts with important info (but didn't spam me with specials, promotions, or products, etc). Just a couple of texts with relevant info regarding her appt (before and after). And also a follow up text to see how my dog was doing. She was only there for vaccines and a wellness check, yet they still followed up. I appreciate how organized they are. All staff I met were professional and kind. We met Dr. Beneigh and I loved her; she was sweet, relaxed and easy going. I'm just so impressed with the details of this appointment from before, during and after. I have never had such a good experience at a vet, EVER! Highly recommend!😀

The staff I interacted with, Tiffany- tech, and Doctor (can't remember name) were extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. I was concerned about letting my cat go into the building w/o me (due to covid restrictions) because he's usually scared of strangers, but he did well and was taken care of. They went above and beyond with all the info and reccomendations shared, and even plan to call me tomorrow to check in. They're our new vet of choice. :)

Great care. Brought my 13 year old, male, Siamese mix and was put at ease by an obviously compassionate staff. They asked questions in order to get a comprehensive understanding of my kitty's history and current health. They commutated everything very clearly, from what I needed to know about my baby's care, to how much everything would cost. They were also human health conscious and picked him up at the door while I waited in the car. We were able to have a video call via Duo so that I could see how he was doing and see the veterinarian who was working with him before they performed the examination and the procedures. I'll be taking my other Kitty tomorrow and I feel very good about it.

called late one afternoon and got in for visit the next mid morning. phone rep lady helpful and courteous. They wanted a deposit for the appointment. Dog not well. went for second opinion. vet concurred with other vet. not much else determined without further ado. do not like upon arrival call and wait in vehicle. covid is over. if vet concerned about germs and contaminates, I really doubt sterilization of floor between pets is occurring. vet office in old house converted in their business. located close to Walmart on Grantline Rd. visit fee seemed on higher end for this area.

Honestly this place has way better customer service then the last vet I went to. They are very polite and professional. They took very good care of me fur baby and answered all of my questions and actually listened to my concerns. 10 out of 10 I definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves their fur babies and wants the best care possible for them.
