How to Save Money at VALLEY VETCO (NO WALK-INS FOR SHOT CLINICS 10/9-10/14)
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.

My dad's dog was spayed here. She healed up great, we get her vaccines done here too. Since they started doing appointments it's been easy to get the shots she needs. Just make sure to make the appointment as soon as you can because they fill up fast.

Great place, great prices, reasonable wait (got there about 4pm, left at 5:45pm) and the staff was incredibly kind and informative. It was my first time getting vaccines/heart worm test for Baklava since I adopted him last year. I will definitely recommend this wonderful place and return for his next vaccines ect.

Awesome staff and facility in general! Would've given them 5 stars but as customers waited in line outside and we walked in to sign up. Some that came in after us and didnt wait in line got checked in and served way before those that did.

Dr Kramer is an angel on earth! She did such a great job with my boy Loki a 10 y/o blue heeler. On top of treating him so well and being so friendly she was able to help with documentation needed for a house. I will be forever grateful to her and the staff there for helping. Affordable prices and clean great space to take your fur babies. highly recommend.
