How to Save Money at Animal Birth Control, LLC
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.

ABC was absolutely phenomenal! Their process was easy and I was lucky enough to slide in after somebody had canceled. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful and the obviously love animals. They gave me detailed directions on how to take care of my pup after surgery, provided all medications and another bonus was they trimmed her nails which is always an ongoing fiasco. I cannot recommend ABC enough! The entire experience was five stars. Thank you so much for taking care of my puppy.

We took our Bella Dog there for end of life service, as Bella was severely suffering. They treated Bella and us so kindly and lovingly. Really appreciated the kindness and empathy passed on at such a hard time saying good bye to my best friend. Thank you so much for your humanity at such a time. ❤️❤️❤️

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. We rescued Roxy after being told she was fixed. To our surprise, she wasn't. We were a little stressed since we had a male dog who wasn't fixed. The majority of the vets I called said her surgery would be upwards of $1,400. Other vets had a waitlist out to next year. A friend had recommended ABC. I was able to get a spay surgery in a week and wasn't charged an arm and a leg. The drop-off was 7am. They called me at 930 to let me know Roxy was out of surgery and doing well. They called me again around 11 to let me know she was ready to come home. Every single staff member I met was so compassionate and loving to Roxy. Seriously, from start to finish, what a great experience.

Had an appointment for next week that was confirmed multiple times to get my dog neutered. I rearranged my whole schedule to make this date work. Just got a call that they will now have to cancel our scheduled appointment. Trash.
