How to Save Money at Animal Intermediate Care

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 can't thank AIC enough for their wonderful care, amazing staff, and friendly environment! We made an appointment ahead of time for an issue that was relatively minor but couldn't wait for our normal vet's availability. Due to the nature of being an urgent care, there was an understandable wait when we arrived but we didn't have to stay glued in the waiting room which was super convenient. We took a walk and grabbed some dinner and then we were called in exactly at the estimated time we were given at check-in. Dr. Lamb and her entire staff were so friendly, caring, and efficient. She was able to quickly diagnose our pup's issue and took the time to understand his existing medications and health issues to ensure she prescribed a compatible treatment. It's only been 24 hr and he is already feeling 10x better! Thank you AIC, you are such an invaluable asset to our pet community!

Wonderful facility! My Winston is a huge scardy cat when it comes to everything. When we brought him in to get evaluated everyone was so sweet, patient and gentle with him. This put both mine, and kitty's mind, at ease. Any questions or concerns my partner and I had were addressed quickly and we felt confident in the care that was being provided to him. I appreciated how thorough they were. If anything were to happen in the future I would for sure bring him back here for treatment. Thank you all for the wonderful care you provide!!

Hands down the best urgent care for your pet!! My deepest appreciation to all the staff that helped us let our best friend Oliver go yesterday. I can not say enough good words to the smoothest transition over the rainbow bridge. They gave us all the time we needed with utmost softest compassion. We are for ever grateful. In addition they were HIGHLY recommended as the best for urgent care by our completely booked vet.

This facility is outstanding! I am so grateful that they were able to see my cat yesterday for a UTI. The staff are very kind and compassionate, and I am so grateful for the top notch treatment they provided for Willow. Thank you so much!

This place is EVERYTHING I've ever wanted in an emergency veterinarian! AIC has friendly employees that genuinely care about the animals. Their base fee for an exam is $130 which is the cheapest in Rochester but the facility is absolutely stunning, comfortable, and stocked with snacks & water to keep you going while your fluffy friend gets the help they need. Today was terrifying until we arrived here! They are all very knowledgeable and skilled so I knew my Binx would get the best care available in Rochester ❤️ Thank you, AIC, for providing high quality and affordable emergency care!
