How to Save Money at Cayuga Veterinary Services

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.

We love Cayuga and our vet Meghan (unsure on spelling). Hopefully we continue to have the same experience that continues to make us finally feel confident in our choice of vet. She doesn't treat us like we don't deserve to know and understand what is going on or the decisions that are being made. We have a very old, diabetic cat and two large breed dogs.

I just want to say that this place really is amazing! After going through vet after vet, and not getting any definite answers, I thought I’d give this place a try. When I called, they told me they were only booking about 3 weeks out - compared to other vets here in auburn that’s nothing. When I arrived for my appointment today at 1:00, I checked in. My dog gets very anxious and hyper in the car and even worse at the vet office. The vet tech, I wish I remembered her name, she was so loving, and caring! She treated my dog as if it was her own. The veterinarian explained everything thoroughly, the do’s and don’ts…the staff takes owners into consideration and makes your pet a priority. Very professional! Not to mention they are very affordable for the extensive care they provide. I 100% recommend this place, and give a huge shoutout to the staff for being so awesome!!

I love this place. EVERYONE here is so great! Everyone always acknowledges my dog when she comes in. The vet's are highly knowledgeable. They show the care by the way talk. Also, by their actions.

Our new Baby Chleo had her first visit with Cayuga Veterinary in June. She was a little hesitant going in but once inside she was very relaxed. She absolutely adored the staff. They made her and myself comfortable. We look forward to our future visits.
