How to Save Money at Family Companion Animal Care 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.

My husband and I were looking for a groomer for our dog. We’ve had wonderful experiences at other facilities, but it seemed to be taking so long. The last time we took him to be groomed at our former groomer it took 5 1/2 hours and our dog was very stressed when he came home. I called family companion and they assured me that my dog would have one on one care and that he would be well taken care of. Frankie met with Daniellle who was unbelievably sweet. It took about an hour and a half, and he was a very happy boy and looked amazing when he was done! We are so pleased!

The staff is amazing! Huge shout out to Karen for her assistance when my dog started experiencing serious side effects after a bee sting. I truly appreciate having knowledgeable and compassionate pet care experts so close to home during an emergency situation.

Haley, at Family Companion Grooming, did a great job with my Daisy Mae. Daisy does not and I repeat does not like her nails clipped. I blame that on a previous place that I took her. She used to be okay, but then not so much. Haley and the other groomer were very understanding and patient. I scheduled her next appt. I would definitely recommend Famimy Companion Grooming.

Everyone was so nice and caring! All the vet techs were amazing and Dr. Parrish was great with my dog who had a pretty bad back injury. She explained everything to me and even spoke with my husband on the phone who couldn’t be at the appointment. Our dog is healing well and getting better each day. We are so thankful for the great team here!

Danielle is fantastic!!! She groomed both of my little guys who are older and nervous at the groomer. She is calm, patient and does a beautiful job. I couldn't be happier and highly recommend her and the facility. Very clean and friendly!
