How to Save Money at Albuquerque Cat 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.

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.

Amazing! Brought my cat for her first exam. The doctor and her assistant are very commendable in their service. I specifically booked this appointment to learn more of my cat's condition, and I received a very thorough bullet point explanation and treatment plans to start, along with preparations for possible future tests. I feel less stress on wondering about my cat's health, and this visit helped all the unknown thoughts forming in my mind. Now, I have a much clearer path that I feel confident in taking to better my cat's health. Thank you so much! The doctor and staff are top notch, I felt such support from them. I'll be bringing my cat back again. Again, thank you.

The staff was very kind and helpful. The area was so pleasant. The techs were also so kind and loving towards the cats. The Doctor answered all questions and was very thorough with the exam. I highly recommend this spot for your feline companion. Prices are as expected and not over priced.

Hands down- an incredible healthcare facility, for your cat! My cat has gone through the gauntlet of health issues, which makes me a frequent flyer. The staff have never made me feel less than and have treated each visit as if it were my first. I feel heard and recently when my cat experience a Urinary Blockage they helped me through the healing process. So grateful for them!

I took my male bengal kitten to get neutered at the Cat Clinic who is our normal vet for everyday things. That experience was AWFUL. It cost me $600 for the neuter and worst of all, they gave him back to me with the incisions on his sack opening up and the insides herniating out. They also argued with me saying it was normal, etc. and also argued with me about my concerns of his sack getting infected (which it did). The Cat Clinic also charged me an extra $300 for re-glueing him up with a rude stand-in vet who didnt even bother meeting me in person in the private exam room, only sent me home with pain meds, refused to give me antibiotics, and I had to fight tooth and nail to get just one suture to prevent this from happening again while I was literally pointing out (for the second time) that the glue job was not holding up, AGAIN. Eventually, I had to pay $200 for an emergency vet to give me antibiotics for the infection that happened because of the Cat Clinics negligence and Cat Clinic's inability to accommodate emergency appointments. Plus all of the extra charges from the Cat Clinic for things like physical exam, microchipping, vaccines, and buying a cone, the total for my male cat came out to nearly $1500 for a neuter, multiple stressful days, and a lot of suffering for my kitty! That was for a neuter. I decided to take my female bengal to ABQ spay and neuter for her operation because a spay is a significantly more invasive procedure than a neuter and I was super happy with the results and it only cost me $215.25 for spay, microchip, vaccines, cone, medication, and sedation!
