How to Save Money at Marquette 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 moved back to MQT with my senior dog Bruiser in 2020. Because my parents took their dog to Marquette Veterinary Clinic, I decided to try it out. For the last three years, Dr. Brauer II and Dr. Brauer III have been nothing short of amazing to work with. Due to my dogs older age, he developed a lot of health issues. I would sometimes call the emergency line late at night, and either doctor was always kindly willing to help with some solutions to ease my old man. They saw him many times for last minute appointments and were always kind and great to work with. We ended up saying our goodbyes yesterday, earlier than I thought it would happen, and the experience was as "easy" as it could be. I was impressed with the process and the overall bedside manner of the entire staff, who stayed behind after close to make sure my boy didn't suffer anymore. Because of them, I know my Bruiser is truly at peace. I highly recommend these humans to take care of your pet.

We are so grateful to Dr. Brauer II and Dr. Brauer III and their wonderful staff. We are recent transplants from downstate, and were a little anxious about finding a new, reliable vet for our two pups. From the very first phone call through every office visit (including a surgery), everyone we've dealt with has been incredibly knowledgeable, patient, kind, and thorough. It is obvious that they truly love animals, and want to see them living their best lives and feeling their absolute best. Thank you, Marquette Veterinary Clinic!

Both Dr. Brauer’s have taken amazing care of my sweet goldendoodle! From routine visits, neuter surgery, his routine dental cleanings, and even an emergency visit, I know he is in the best hands. Dr. B is happy to talk me off the ledge 🤪 and answer any questions and explain everything in detail! The compassion and level of expertise/skill that Dr. Brauer has is unmatched. You will not find anything like it anywhere else. Not only do the doctors and staff remember your pet, they remember YOU and your family! You are not a number here, you do not press “1” or “2” and put into a queue, you talk to one of the staff as soon as you call the clinic. Each patient gets the individualized care that they deserve. You matter here! I can tell Dr. Brauer II and Dr. Brauer III both love what they do and it’s heartwarming to know my goldendoodle loves coming to see them. He also loves visiting with the staff! Dr. B clearly explains options and takes the time to explain everything. You will not be spending money on unnecessary testing, diagnostic work or procedures because no other doctor in the area can figure it out or get it right. Save your money and the stress on your pet go here for the correct diagnosis the first time! We love Marquette Veterinary Clinic and could not recommend them more! ❤️

We are so grateful to the Drs Brauer and their staff for caring for our pets. We have a special needs puppy named Bucky and he required a pretty big surgery to give him his best life. Everyone was so nice and explained to us what to expect during Bucky's procedure and recovery. Little Bucky is doing wonderfully and we couldn't be more grateful to everyone at Marquette Veterinary Clinic for taking such good care of him. ♥️
