How to Save Money at Pathways to Wellness
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.

MATTED KITTY! 16-yo Cricket is a relatively new patient at Pathways. Dr. D has given him great care for his thyroid. Maybe the meds caused his “winter coat” to come in differently ~ for the first time in all his years, his fur became rapidly matted. Unfortunately, the only option was to shave him (sparing his beautiful mane and fluffy tail!). It was a rough day at the office, but after a new ‘do and a mani/pedi, Cricket was spoiled with his favorite treat (McD’s fries!) and is back home happily purring. Grateful to Dr. D and staff for their excellent (and non-judgmental!) care of my elderly, cranky kitty.

I came here to get a second opinion on my 5 year old Springer Spaniel’s teeth after being quoted a couple grand for cleaning and two teeth needing to be extracted at our primary vet (which didn’t seem right to me whatsoever). I called on a Friday around 4:30pm and they got me in for an appointment Monday afternoon at 4 which was awesome! The staff was nice and they took a lot of time to make my dog comfortable and get to know her before beginning her oral exam, which was also very thorough and carefully done. Come to find out ZERO teeth need to be extracted and she doesn’t even need a cleaning!!! The prices were extremely fair for the exam and I’m so happy that no one tried to “sell” me anything. You can see the staff truly cares about both owners and pets and aren’t there for your money. It was such a positive experience that this place went from second opinion to now our primary vet for all our pets! Very impressed with the staff and caring culture here! Special thank you to Dr. D!!!

By far my best vet experience ever!! From making an appointment to coming in just so they could show me how to give my cat insulin once she was diagnosed with diabetes. Dr. D was amazing with answering my questions and giving information about my cat that I didn’t even think to ask and just making me feel okay (I was very worried about my Luna). All the staff was fabulous. This will be my forever vet from now on. The prices were better than my old vet as well. A friend of mine recommended this place because of how much she likes them and their prices. Thank you Pathways to Wellness. You are doing a phenomenal job. I almost forgot, they even called me just to check on us! 😻

Dr. Cobb and her techs brought our 5yr old pitbull Jones back from his death bed to full health. He was suffering with a pancreatitis that two other vets not only failed to identify and treat but showed little if any compassion to him or us although they certainly charged enough money. Jones was completely debilitated not moving, barely opening his eyes or moving having lost a 1/5th of his body weight. We were losing hope and researching home euthanasia options. On his 10th day of not eating or moving we found Dr. Cobb and it was touch and go for a few days but she kept checking in to see how he was responding to the course of action and made adjustments as needed. On about day 13 he began to stabilize and then improve slowly. Now three weeks on he is fully back to himself, almost off his meds, putting weight back on and looking forward to his daily walks, playing ball, and always under our feet at every turn:) Thank you Dr. Cobb, Jessie, Kim, and Bernadette as you all helped bring Jones back to be a part of our family hopefully for many more years.
