How to Save Money at Veterinary Dentistry Specialists

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.

Our Dutch Shepherd plays like a beast, and had a few chipped teeth. He healed quickly and nicely, even after an extraction. The office is very clean, and staff was kind, insightful, and knowledgeable. We were happy with the price, too. The followup visit went just as well. The dog showed no distress after being at the vet after his experience. He loved the staff. Plus the staff made these cute wax melts to take home that smell amazing (and they're glittery!). The environment they curate is gentle and genuine.

I had always been nervous about addressing any dental issues with my various pets. But when I took my 13 year old cat for a regular checkup, my vet strongly recommended i pursue a dental vet specialist to address his concerns about her teeth. I found Dr Scherer and VDS on line and thankfully, chose the right place to help my beloved cat. What a fabulous experience!!! The support staff was so nice and supportive keeping a hysterical pet owner grounded (me) and surgeon Dr Scherer performed a very successful surgery that will keep my cat healthy from what could have been future serious dental debilitation. I dropped her off at 8 am and I was kept in constant touch thru text and phone about her progress during and after the procedure. Unbelievable/ she came home and ate dinner that night after a two hour surgery!!! This is an exceptional, five star facility with outstanding professionals. I regret waiting so long and was needlessly worried about dental issues with my pets - I found Dr Scherer!!!

This was one of the best experiences I've had with a vet. From the first phone call, the team here has been extremely communitive and helpful. Dr. Scherer was able to explain everything going on with my cat and the procedure that was needed and WHY it was needed. If you're looking for a pet dental specialist I would 100% recommend coming here. Although you are paying a lot more than a local vet, the team gives you and your pet the time and care they deserve. A huge thanks to Dr. Scherer, Annabel, and Mary for everything!

Dr. Scherer and team took great care of our pet. They took time to answer all of our questions and were communicative during the procedure. Could not recommend them enough.

I brought my pet here instead of having the procedure done at my local vet and was highly disappointed with the outcomes.
