How to Save Money at Town & Country Veterinary
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.

The Doctor was extremely tentative to my kittens needs. He was very caring and handed my kitten with care and compassion. He told me what I needed and how to do what I needed to do, my kitty is now on the road to recovery. Thank you Doctor Seifert.

I've taken my pug to Town & Country Vet since his very first check up (he is now almost 12 years old). They were highly recommended, and we didn't seem to have any issues until the last couple of weeks. He developed a small tumor on his eyelid that needed to be removed. He went in for surgery Mon 5/8, was told everything went smoothly. Went back in Thurs 5/11 for his post-op exam, everything was healing great. By Sun 5/14 he woke up coughing (like a high pitched honking/squeaking noise) and sneezing. Just not AT ALL like his usual spunky self. They do not offer any emergency services, so I called the ER vet in Mishawaka that they have on their answering machine. That vet said he needed to be looked at asap, that the symptoms sounded like kennel cough. I don't have the extra for emergency services, so we Waited until Mon 5/15 morning to see if we could get squeezed in. Thankfully we did get in right away, but after about 3 mins of listening to him cough, the Dr said "oh that seems like allergies. Just give him benadryl 3 times a day." I expressed my concern about kennel cough, and he CHUCKLED and told me that "no one else was showing symptoms at the time he was in the kennel, so that's not possible." So we gave him the benadryl. Monday thru Wednesday, there was no change except for more sleeping and less eating. Called them back, and was told to continue the benadryl... My husband and I decided to get a 2nd opinion at another vet that's a little closer to home, and within 5 minutes of being with a new Dr, I was told "Your assumptions are definitely correct. He most definitely has kennel cough." Then she asked me why we weren't offered the preventative vaccine before going in for surgery... On of that, I asked the Dr at T&C to check out his ears because I thought they might be infected. He never even looked. Our new Dr confirmed the infections as well... There's a few other small things we were told by T&C (regarding allergies and itching) throughout the years that I wanted to confirm with this new Dr, and she said without any legitimate allergy testing, there's just no way to be certain, but T&C NEVER did ANY testing. I was given a hand written list of common allergens and was told to stay away from them... When I think about the whole situation, I just want to warn people. My dog was just in there coughing ALL OVER THE PLACE, possibly infecting anyone else that walked in there... I'm sure I'm not the only one that looks at my dog like he's my child, and he was forced to suffer thru the last week. Please don't get me wrong, the Dr his wife, and their assistants were always very nice to us, I'm just concerned about the Dr being so quick to dismiss serious concerns.
