How to Save Money at Dewey Veterinary Medical Center
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.

This is an amazing place to take your fur babies. I have been coming there for a little more than 20yrs, and they are the best. The employees there Kelly, Jacob and the front desk and back especially the doctors/vets are amazingly, nice to your needs and so extremely understanding. I would recommend anyone to bring your pet(s) there.

We feel confident that our fur babies will be taken care of when they are seen at Dewey Veterinary. We’ve taken all of our pets here for vaccines, microchipping, wellness exams, illness and we receive friendly and compassionate care consistently. The front desk attendants, vets, and all staff are efficient, knowledgeable and take the time to listen to our concerns, and evaluate our pets. They are the best!

I volunteered at the NSPCA 13 years ago for a college class & got to know the veterinary staff then. Since then I’ve only taken my babies here… they truly care . Recently my 17 year old was diagnosed with a heart murmur & has been doing very well since being put in meds. Thank you !

I came to this vet when I first moved to Vegas. My dog Marley had been given a clean bill of health. She had never had any real issues beyond allergies and the occasional ear infection. I came back about a month later to address an ear infection. Marley had always recovered fine with just some medicated drops. The vet wanted to prescribe antibiotic drops, oral antibiotics, and steroids. I had a gut instinct everything other than the drops was unnecessary but thought the vet knew something we didn’t and maybe this would be a better treatment. Well, my dog started having life threatening seizures the day she took her last steroid pill. And within a week or that last steroid pill, she had died. Upon further research I found tons of accounts of peoples dogs dying or having neurological issues after being given this steroid. I feel like this vet pushes a lot of unnecessary drugs and I’m pretty positive they killed my dog. The picture shown is the last picture I took of Marley before she died with me in bed just a few hours later. I wish I never came to this vet

I've taken my pets to Dewey and Dr. DeJesus for 5 years. I always receive excellent customer service and care for my pets, both dogs and cats. I am very comfortable with the quality of care and never feel pressured to pay for unnecessary tests or treatments. My dogs are all over 15 years old, and their health is very good because of the quality of care they receive at Dewey Veterinarian.
