How to Save Money at Woodlands Veterinary
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.

They had never seen us before and were amazing when we needed to say goodbye to our 12 year old yellow Labrador this summer. We felt taken care of and so changed the care of our other animals to them! 🐈🐕🐾Their business hours are also perfect around a typical work schedule!

They are the best team I've found to take care of my dog. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and empathetic, and my dog loves them.

I recently brought my puppies here for their first appointment since adopting them. Everything about this place is top notch! Other vet clinics in the area have really inconvenient hours and were booked four weeks out. Woodlands is open evenings and had an appointment for the next day available. The atmosphere was very clean and comfortable. The staff was very kind and friendly to both me and the puppies, giving them treats and comforting them. I told them I had never had puppies before and they were patient and answered all of my questions. They also gave me reading material to bring home and explained the rest of their shots schedule to me. I HIGHLY recommend that you bring your fur babies here!

Our pup, Rusty, is a new patient and underwent surgery today. What an amazing experience! Dr Katrina is an angel and she and her staff are so caring, courteous and professional. The environment at Woodlands is calming, peaceful, welcoming and spotlessly clean. Thank you all-- Carol, Ron and Rusty Littlefield

She took very excellent care of Lucy. We tried the treatment and a week later had to have her put down. She lived for 14 years and she was very well loved. I am bring my new dog named Casper to her and would not take him to anyone else. She and the staff go all out to help your beloved pet. Thanks for all the care over the last 3 years for Lucy.
