How to Save Money at Bredel 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.

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.

I just want to take some time to send out a big THANK YOU to the entire staff at Bredel Veterinary Clinic for taking such good care of our Ginger girl today. When your dog gets older (she is 9), you worry more when they have to be put under for a procedure), but they eased my mind before, during and after her surgery today, and I cannot tell you how much that means to me. I am so very proud to serve on the board of directors at HART, but it's also nice as a client to see your animals taken care of in the most professional and loving manner. Thank you so much to Dr. Jessy and her team. ❤️ Ginger is home resting and little brother Jeter won't leave her side.

We have been bringing our dogs for several years to the Bredel Veterinary Clinic and have always been so pleased with the level of care that both our dogs and their humans (us!) get from the staff. Dr. Jessy is always so responsive especially during times of concern and worry. I would not hesitate for a fraction of a second to refer anyone to the HART Animal Center for any of its services. Thank you, HART!

The Bredel Veterinary Clinic is top-notch. Dr. Jessy was extremely knowledgeable and willing to talk through all questions that I had. The Clinic is bright, clean, and as an added benefit, helps support the animals in need at the Hart adoption wing!

Fantastic place. We have taken our dog there for years now. They have done her teeth cleaning, treated her for sickness, and have been great. They are really top notch and a fraction of the price of other vets in the area.
