How to Save Money at Divine 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.

Our dog was sick and our vet from another clinic happened to be out of town. They took us in right away, and took such good care of her. They were gentle and caring, and very reasonably priced. Would absolutely go again and highly recommend them!

Dr. Divine and all of the vet techs were compassionate when I brought in my sick senior cat, who unfortunately was unable to recover and required euthanasia. The techs were incredibly kind when I went back to pick up his ashes and paw prints, and I'm so grateful they had that option available. Dr. Gartner did not share any of the same compassion, and let me know he thought I was letting my cat suffer, and then my best friend was gone. I just can only hope he's more compassionate with other patients and people at the clinic.

Dr. Scott Gartner was a godsend. My senior dog had some major issues come upon her suddenly it seemed. My normal vet in Nixa couldn’t get me in, so I came here. They immediately started ruling things out and getting blood, X-rays, etc. They were very quick, which my dog was very anxious and would put up a great struggle, so I know it was no easy task. It turned out to be worse than I had even imagined. Dr Gartner was so kind and very straightforward. I love a good no nonsense vet. It’s refreshing to have someone get to the point and tell it like it is. I’m so thankful for this clinic. In the end, my girl had to be put down the next day, as I was not going to make her suffer any longer. Dr Gartner and Taylor were so kind through the process. They explained every step and Taylor even stayed with us in the room for the first “part” at our request. I cannot recommend this place enough for their kindness and sympathy. Thank you to the whole staff. You can tell they care about you and your furry friend as soon as you walk in.

Dr. Divine and ALL of his staff are absolutely amazing. They are so kind and genuine and they treat my pets with such care. I feel truly welcome when I bring any of my pets here. They’re all just really amazing people. Edit - I’ve been taking my pets to Dr. Divine for almost three years now. It’s only gotten better. Still the best vet ever and every single one of the staff members are so sweet.
