How to Save Money at Petco Vaccination Clinic

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.

Vector employees were wonderful!! They did such a great job handling my dog. I wished Pecto would have a better place for them to set up.

If you ever wondered why every other clinic is backed up on vaccination appointments and this place isn’t, I’ll tell you why; it’s the quality of service. I could go on a huge rant with how many things went wrong today when I went for two simple shots but I’ll keep it short. The site is set up in the open right next to the cash registers without any sort of privacy barriers for dogs being vaccinated, of course meaning dogs will be jumpy or anxious with the large amount of foot traffic walking by with pets. The staff also did not properly prep the needle so it had a huge air bubble causing the vet to stick the dog twice. The first time she stuck the dog and began to pushed the plunger she realized the air bubble and took the needle out to prep the syringe. Then the second time around she correctly administered the shot but had her staff hold our pup down making him get really anxious and he begin to try to get out of their hold. So before they administered the next shot they wanted us to place a muzzle on him, we placed the muzzle and they proceeded to readjust and tighten. He was once again held down by two vets but from the struggle he bit his tongue and bleed everywhere. He also vomited and used the bathroom. Keep in mind he is a 5 month old 29Ib Austrian Shepard. We get home and of course he’s scared and very to himself clearly he’s in pain from the wound on his tongue. For all this we were offered no compensation, I talked to Vetco and the best they could do is annotate it in our account.

We went here for the vaccination site. The vet co veterinarians we're not good at all and had me do most of their work on my dog. They treated our puppy horribly, will not be returning ever again to get any vaccines. DON'T BRING YOUR DOG HERE! Completely unprofessional set up and made our baby puppy extremely anxious, uncomfortable and sick. Just wait a month out for real veterinary care from a clinic, don't come here.
