How to Save Money at Falls Veterinary Care

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.

I have been going to Scott Falls for over 30 years now. He is understanding and kind hearted. He, and his staff, give you all of the options, and prices, and you decide what, and what not, to do. No pushing expensive treatments, or shots, that your pet does not need, or that won't change the outcome. Best veterinarian ever! I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I initially went here and was pleased with my visit yet a little thrown off by the plan of action. However in the recent days have changed my mind. I went to this vet because my dog was limping on and off. Our normal vet could not get us in and that is why I came here. I was clear from my initial call she had been limping. Once I got there I had told them I did lapse in giving tick medicine. So the doctor ran the test to make sure that wasn’t what was going on. Test came back negative but she wanted to go ahead and still treat it as that. I went home and was told to call if no change in a few weeks to come back. Fast forward a month or so and my dog took a turn for the worst and could no longer bare weight on her leg. I called that morning to say this and I wanted X-rays. I was completely caught off guard when I was told they do not do them there. From my initial visit when I said my dog was limping I thought that would have been told to me. I am glad my dog got tick tested bc I did lapse but for the results to come back negative and they still push that seems like a money grab now that I know they do not do X-rays. I ended up getting into another vet who did have X-rays and found out that my dog has bone cancer. I had Falls send this clinic the test they did originally before going so they had all records. I called Falls today to get them sent to another doctor because we are now going to a specialist. The receptionist was rude. I had asked if I had annoyed her because of her tone with me. She then put me on hold and said she had emailed them again to me. When I told her it was needing to go to another email address she then began to laugh. If I would have known from my first visit that this vet does not do X-rays I would Have probably never gone there. I wasted money and valuable time that my dog does not have right now. The receptionist needs to learn customer service and how to treat people. I will not be back.

What can I say, putting a pet down is never a pleasant experience but Dr Falls and his team made it easier. They were so kind and were able to get us in quickly even though we had never been there before. They were not only patient and kind, but they really showed that they cared and understood that it was a difficult situation. We had my cat cremated and just received her ashes back in a beautiful little urn with angel wings and her name, something I really did not expect to receive back in anything but a plain white box wrapped in plastic like the other vets I have been to. They even made the clay pawprint more beautiful than any other vet office too. Dr Falls and his team are amazing and I will be transferring my other pets to his practice so that we hopefully won't need to go through that experience again for a long time, but when we do, I know it will be easier thanks to him and his team. (Yes the cats name was Helen Keller)

Falls is the best vet, I remember taking our dogs to him when I was younger and now that I have pets as an adult I have gone to a few other places and wasn't impressed. This is our forever vet
