How to Save Money at Dr. Kyle Schumacher

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.

Professional, kind, and straightforward. I feel quite lucky to have found Schumacher Vet. They are knowledgeable, attentive, and did everything they could to help my whippet recover. Follow up rehab continues to be beneficial. I am sure, with their help, my dog will be a very happy older gentleman for much time to come. Thank you to all the drs. (esp Dr. Cover), physical therapists, attendants and receptionists for being professional, helpful, and so good natured. Oh, the chiropractic clinic is fabulous too! Dr. Kyle rocks.

I have absolutely LOVED my experience with them when it came to my dobies ear crop! I am from El Paso and almost everyone I asked, said to go to this clinic! I was very hesitant at first due to the upfront payment but I have no regrets in the end! The staff is AMAZING, especially at communication! My dog LOVES Caitlin and gets so excited to see her every time! To know he is in good care is my number one priority and they never made me think he wasn’t safe. I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone! They are awesome!

I highly recommend taking all your furry, feathered, and leathered babies to see any of the Dr’s here. I have been a patient for over 8 years and still going. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable as they all care and have amazing empathy for my fur babies. The squad enjoys getting pedicures and being pampered including the nervous ones. Always come out with a smile 😊 Thank you for taking great care of our furry family.
