How to Save Money at Animal Kingdom 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.

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.

We have gone to Dr Anderson for 9 years. She is amazing along with the staff. Great caring place to bring your pets. We will miss her dearly when she closes. Thank you for the many great years of care.❤️❤️❤️

The doctor and receptionist were both cold, rude, and dismissive. Neither wanted to listen to what we had to say and didn't want to answer our questions; I literally felt completely ignored. The lack of compassion and empathy was incredible considering we were fairly certain my daughter's goat was dying. They actually managed to make us feel worse not better. After about a 3 minute "exam" she wrote us off and gave us an antibiotic I had to inject myself with zero demonstration showing me how (verbal instructions only like I'm an at home vet tech). If they hadn't been the only place in town with an opening, I never would have gone and I'll never go back.

If you're allergic to cats like me, get in and out quickly. The place is infested with them. Vet does a good job.

We have been going to Dr. Anderson's clinic for over 13 years, and do not have one single complaint. When I call to come in, for whatever reason, she accommodates me immediately. I feel she has the best interest of the animal at heart. She understands that our fur baby is not just a pet, but an important member of our family and treats her accordingly. We are very blessed to have a beautiful doggie and vet that treats her like her own. I would recommend Dr. Anderson to anyone looking for a good vet. Thanks Dr Anderson.

We have been taking our pets to Dr. Anderson for about 11 years now. She and her staff were exceptionally caring when we had to make a tough decision and say good-bye to one of our girls. No matter how many months have passed since our last visit, we walk in to the clinic and it feels like they are welcoming us home. To me there is no other choice but Animal Kingdom.
