How to Save Money at Montana Veterinary Hospital & Boarding

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 love this team. They are no nonsense, practical and effective. The first time I visited them with an emergency was probably 1990. They've helped so much with many dogs and cats since then. Very down to earth and honest!

Montana Vet is the absolute most amazing Vet in the county! They took care of our Girl, and helped her feel so much better! She’s all wags and in the healing process! They truly care about your animals! I wouldn’t dream of taking my fur babies anywhere else! Thank you for being so amazing!

Dr. Moylan and his staff did a great job taking care of my dog! She is a rescue and very scared of needles, so when it was time for her yearly vaccinations, instead of muzzling her (which she did not tolerate anyway), pinning her down, and traumatizing her, they gave her an oral sedative before doing any procedures. I appreciated that they were willing to work around her issues instead of plowing through them and making her even more scared of the vet. Boarding is also a very reasonable price!

I have been going to Montana Veterinary Hospital and Boarding since the first day I brought my puppy home! Five years later we are still going strong. My dog is a problem child; allergies, hot spots, random cuts and injuries from the many adventures we go on. Dr. Moylan and his staff have always been accommodating fitting us in for emergencies. I also board him there on a regular basis. He absolutely loves going there and seeing everyone. The kennels are clean and he loves their large outdoor runs! I trust the staffs knowledge and it is clear that they love their jobs and they love the animals that come in like one of their own! If you are looking for a family friendly practice with a high level of knowledge and care then this place is right for you!

Excellent Veterinary care. Dr. Moylan is knowledgeable, compassionate and friendly to pets and their humans. He has been taking care of my pets for over 20 years. My dogs love to stay in the kennels- it is their home away from home! The staff is friendly and it is obvious that they love animals. I highly recommend Montana Vet Hospital and Boarding.
