How to Save Money at Millersburg Veterinary Hospital

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.

Doctor Susan McCarty is AMAZING. She is so wonderful. My cat had a freak accident over the Memorial Day weekend, and Doctor McCarty worked with us, allowing us to come to her clinic right away. She was welcoming and so kind—She helped my cat stay calm. Doctor McCarty is the BEST vet I have ever dealt with. She is professional and so smart. She explained the situation to us and helped us to understand what was happening to our cat. I will definitely be returning to Doctor McCarty for my other cats vet appointments!

Appreciate Dr. McCarty taking care of all my animals. I started taking my furbabies to Susan when she started in her basement at her home. Now 30+ years later moving away from Millersburg and dogless, we no longer need her excellent services. I can not remember ALL the dogs she has taking care of from puppies, to sadly giving them the shot to go to the "rainbow bridge", she is an excellent vet and compassionate person. The only sad thing I can say is I'm ashamed of not letting her know until now how valuable she was and is. Thank you Susan from me and every one of my little and big 4 legged loves💕

Amazing vet. Amazing staff. My old girl got attacked and had to be brought in for emergency surgery. They absolutely got her in right away even though they were jammed full. We were also allowed to make payments. 100% recommend 1000 times.
