How to Save Money at Animal Care 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.

My fur baby needed surgery. Every person in the clinic made me feel comfortable, and I knew they would take good care of my boy. He's still healing, but he's doing well. The cost of the surgery was reasonable and the cost of medication is less than the other vet I've taken him to.

Animal Care Clinic is hands down the best facility with amazing vets, techs, and assistants! We’ve used ACC for appx 15 yrs, and have never had a negative experience. They’re wonderful at preventive care, emergency services, boarding, and grooming! Our Golden Retriever approves 100%!

This team is the best! I knew this each time I went in, but now that I have moved away, I realize even more how amazing they are as I may never find a team this great anywhere. From the moment we walk in, Brittany is the smiling face who ALWAYS knows who we are and greets my pups with love! We usually have Virginia, Cortney or Laurie take us back with more love for the pups. My babies all absolutely love the staff and they are always kind, very knowledgeable and efficient. Dr. Martin and Dr. Derby both explain everything that is going on with each dog and answer all my questions. Both are very intelligent and caring practitioners who have a passion for animals that shows in their approach to care each and every time, no matter what the situation. We will go back there every time we are home to visit with anything we need.

This is THE place to take your pet, or livestock! Dr Martin and his staff are nothing short of amazing and compassionate! We have been part of their "family" since the day he opened his practice. We've had lots of smiles, and shed some tears. Animal Care Clinic goes beyond just being a vet clinic. They are like "family"! 🐶🐈🩴🩴
