How to Save Money at FLAT ROCK ANIMAL 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 was calling multiple facilities in a desperate attempt to get this kitty seen. We had a stray outside who I knew needed urgent care. Every single place I called from rescues, vets, to humane societies were all too busy. THIS office actually listened to me and got her in the next morning. She was diagnosed with pyometra which would have killed her without treatment, emergency spaying. Although whoever shaved her basically mowed off 4/6 of her nipples, I am so grateful for the help they have given us and the new life they have given our new fur baby. Dr. Singh is amazing. He is realistic, friendly, and greeted us with smiles. The staff is efficient, clearly educated and SO kind. We now have Toolah in the house!!THANK YOU FLAT ROCK ANIMAL CLINIC!!!!

annual visit for my fur baby. Costs are up, so be prepared! my baby is healthy though. No parasites, no heartworm. Rabies shot is mandatory so he's set for another 3 years. Got his prevention meds. Not a 5 star place but adequate. Hard to understand foreign doctor.

WONDERFUL! Our 7-year-old cat Maybelle needed her teeth cleaned, and our prior vet no longer performs dental services. Flat Rock A.C. came highly recommended by a friend who has a lot of pets and fosters pets. I was pleased they could get us in promptly even though she's a new patient. Dr. Pelia was caring and knowledgeable, explained everything patiently, quoted low/high range for the procedure, and answered all my questions. The vet techs were excellent, the prices were reasonable, and Maybelle came through the procedure under anesthesia beautifully. My friend said all the vets there are good. I highly recommend!

I’ve been taking my kitten Robin to them for a few months now. He did all rounds of his kitten vaccinations and was neutered just a couple of days ago (along with a declaw removal). As nervous as I was to drop my new baby off for a standard surgery the vet tech was very sweet and knowledgeable. Made us very comfortable with the whole process. Like I said it has only been a couple of days since the surgery and my fur baby is healing perfectly. No issues. Even sent him home with antibiotics and pain relief in case he needed it. I would highly recommend this vet. The doctor knows what he’s doing and all of the ladies that work there are wonderful. Took care of Robin like he was their own. They are quite affordable and gave excellent service. I appreciate the time you took with him and us as fur parents! Thank you so much!
