How to Save Money at Millard West 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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.

Dr. Matt and staff have been outstanding to our dogs and family for the past 8 years. When we had to make the tough decision to let our golden retriever go, he was gentle and reassuring with the process and made sure I was at as much ease as I could have been given the circumstances. Omaha/Elkhorn is extremely lucky to have such a caring practice available to us.

Great vet. Staff was super helpful. The vet was great with my cat. We recently moved from another state and he was able to keep my cat on the right path and suggest some other things needed (which was also stated by other vet). Getting appointment was easy and was able to get my dog in the next week too.

Dr. Scott is the best! One of the best vets I’ve taken my pets to. Front staff is wonderful and kind. I highly recommend.

We’ve been visiting this clinic with our dogs for years but my last visit has made me (or my pets, more accurately) a patient here for life. I lost my mom and had to make the difficult decision to put her dog down the same week. Dr. Matt was the kindest and most supportive vet. He talked to me about the dog and my mom and was so relatable about his own experiences. I am so terribly sad about putting my mama’s sweet old dog down but am beyond grateful to have had Dr. Matt there for it. He even sent me a personal condolence card. It’s a busy clinic, he didn’t have to do that but he did. I will never forget his kindness. He’s a great vet too and has been great with my own dogs for their checkups. Dr. Sam is also terrific, my kids love it when we get her because has such a fun way about her and includes them where she can. The office staff and vet techs are always helpful and nice.

My dog had an abscess on her tail. Other Vet I took her to only wanted to amputate her tail. Dr Matt assessed her tail and heard my concerns of doing conservative treatment verses amputation. After laser treatment, a few weeks of dressing changes and a few weeks of applying topical solution and her tail is almost completely healed! I highly recommend Dr Matt and Millary Veterinary Clinic for all your animal care needs.
