How to Save Money at Globe Drug Store

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.

Best customer service. I deal w a lot of Drs. and I know if Globe tells me they haven’t received something yet, I can trust that and have to call my Dr. back. All of their staff is friendly- in person/on the phone/delivery staff. Always organized. Can’t say enough good things! Oh and they take medicaid!

I was referred to Globe by an employee at my vet because I had no idea where to get the medication for my dog. I was anxious and very stressed about the dog being so sick and I also had to rush back to my office. That was 2 years ago and I have to say the staff and pharmacist treated me so well, that I will never forget how they put me at ease. I give them 5 stars because to this day, they have continued to take care of me fairly quickly and best of all, they accommodate deliveries. I just have to call in and schedule the delivery and not leave the office. I have gotten deliveries within 24 to 48 hours after placing my call. The ladies there have been very courteous.

I suppose they'd be fine if you're going locally, but for their delivery service they don't provide options for people who aren't home during the day and are careless with orders. They forgot to include my order in a delivery I had to schedule days in advance (not good if you need a quick turnaround) and then refused to assume any responsibility for it, choosing instead to blame the courier but also refusing to schedule a second pickup for a medication I needed that day. I get the sense that vet and pet owners might use them to compound medications, but there are other better options I would really encourage you to use.

My experience with these guys over the phone was AMAZING! Never ever have I had the feeling of being SO taken care of by a neighborhood pharmacy. The level of service here is unreal. Why? It’s complicated and I’m not going to bore you with the complexities of my situation but let’s just say they expedited the formulation of medicine that was needed, offered to deliver it where it needed to get to free of charge AND I was able to add gratuity to my transaction. Mary the technician ROCKS, she’s incredibly generous with her time and made it a point to get my cat sitter to call to ensure he knew how to use the new applicator. All this an hour before they close! The staff is personable, light-hearted, easy and FUN to deal with. I mean… WHAT’S NOT to LOVE?!!! 😻

I don’t get the negative reviews for this pharmacy. They always go above and beyond for getting compounded medicine for my cat. They’re so helpful and always communicate with me when a dosage is off. I can’t say my cat is happy with the meds lol but I’m grateful for the pharmacy. Thank you.
