How to Save Money at Village Animal Clinic PC
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.

Although we live near Whitmore Lake, we have been bringing our dogs to Village Animal Clinic in Dexter. The vets and staff there are thorough, gentle and caring. Recently our 10+ year old Great Pyrenees mix had to be put down due to a tumor likely on his spleen. They explained our options and helped us get through it.

So I called the village animal clinic in Dexter for a price on my dog to cut his nails and I was told three or 400! What is going on with the vet these days? How could I ever afford to get my dogs nails cut which is a very simple thing I used to go to a country vet we charged me 50 for the medicine 20 for the nail cutting and now they’re just over pricing everything! Unbelievable! That’s more money than it cost to take care of my horse ridiculous

I had a nice experience! I was looking for a new vet for my cats as I was not comfortable at the previous clinic. They were able to schedule all three of our cats on the same day and everything went smoothly! Everyone was very nice and answered any questions plus helped unload and load my cats! They are very upfront with costs and how to proceed with visits or medications!

I have been going to this vet since 2000. I have found the vet techs to be amazing. They know me and my dogs and treat them with respect. I have a dog that is anxious and instead of bringing her to the back to do things which would make her even more anxious, they always treat the dogs in the room. I am amazed at how many vets do not do this. I never feel rushed during my visits. They have always cared for my dog on the floor instead of making them get on a table. Before seeing them, I had a vet tell me to put my 80 lbs dog on a table. My dog was so freaked out and my dog was heavy and it was very hard for me to lift him. I knew that vet was not for me so I called this vet. The owner of the clinic who is not practicing now, rolled on the floor with my dog upon the first visit and let my dog lick his face! That is someone who likes dogs. When my dog was diagnosed with cancer, they were amazing and helped connect me with MSU to try to save him. When that did not work, they were very compassionate. This was back in 2010 and I know that the clinic has some different people working but most of the vet techs from 2010 are the same vet techs today. I moved and my dogs passed. I went 8 years without a pet. When I got a pet, I ended up for convenience sake moving to a vet that was 5 minutes from me. But I ended up coming back even though it is a 30 minute drive due to the care they take of being kind to my dog. It is a struggle to make it before the clinic closes but they always make an effort to let me be seen at the end of the day so I do not have to take time off work. I also appreciate that they will be honest with you. While one vet may not feel as warm, I felt she always had me and my dogs best interests at heart. Not everyone has the overly warm personality (including me =) ) but that does not mean someone does not care. She was the one that told me that is was time for my dog to go and she was right. He was in a lot of pain. She was also the one that told us we were "killing our dog with kindness" by feeding him table scraps--he was overweight and it was not helping him. I appreciated her direct and needed feedback. It is interesting to read some of the reviews because their experience does not align with my experience whatsoever. I know that everyone has their own experiences but mine have ALWAYS been positive which is why I felt compelled to write a review.

Amazing staff. They treat my rescue dog like a princess. When I found out she had mammary cancer, I saw a dog cancer specialist to understand the next steps. Afterwards, I was so sad because I couldn’t afford the surgery—they did not accept payment plans. I was so relieved after coming to the Village Animal Clinic because they looked at the “big picture” and made the process affordable. Maya is continuing to recover and fight her cancer. We would not be able to do it without this amazing team! ❤️
