How to Save Money at Animal Medical Center of Springboro
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.

This is a great place! We recently got our newest family member and she was very sick. They fit us in on the same day. The front staff was very friendly and helpful and the technicians and Dr. Walsh were awesome! Our puppy is doing much better now. Their prices are very affordable. I highly recommend!

I can not say enough about how amazing this vet practice is. I have used them for 18 years total and they are always so accommodating to get my cats in and even get my family's pets in when we had an an issue over Christmas. I recently had to go twice in one day with my own cats and a barn cat that needed emergency help and they got us right in and we're so great!. I always feel like they listen to my concerns, answer my questions and are very involved in my pet's care. Thank you animal Medical Center of Springboro for all you do for Animals from the front office staff, vet techs and vets.

This office is fine if your dog doesn’t fear seeing the vet. They didn’t handle my fear-aggressive dog very well and did not let me stay with my dog during the visit. I offered to muzzle my dog before they took her back, but they shot down my offer. They said that they could handle her, only to bring her back to me to muzzle her. This experience had negatively impacted the behavioral training that we had worked so hard on. They also shot down my request to bring her in the lobby a few days prior to the visit to desensitize her to the environment. If your dog is fear aggressive avoid this place and look for a place that is fear-free certified.

They do not take reactive/fear aggressive dogs. One of my dogs is fearful of the vet, I had his muzzle, and was willing to do what I could to help make it easier for both my dog and the vet, but they told me he was not welcome. I understand if they don't want to take him as a patient, I just wish they would have it somewhere on their site that they do not take fear aggressive dogs.

Called in the AM for a possible new patient same day appointment for a bladder infection. Office was extremely accommodating in letting us bring our baby right over. I made it pretty clear on arrival that my credit card can be on file and considering our cat was only 2 years old and this is the first medical issue- we were willing to spend what was needed to get him home and comfortable. After keeping him at the office all day we were informed X-rays were not needed and they were confident it was inflammatory bladder DISEASE. Upon pick up I realized the medication given to take home was only for pain. Called TWICE in TWO days advising he was not improving and was told by the doctor originally that he needed an anti-inflammatory- you know, for an inflammatory disease. Was advised the pain medication- Buprenorphine had “anti inflammatory” properties in it and if he wasn’t better by Tuesday (it is Friday) then to call. I trusted my guy and took him to another vet in the area and was quickly alerted that our baby needed WAY more medication than just pain meds to get this under control. When I advised the “new” vet of what I was told with the buprenorphine, they couldn’t believe I was told that, or the emergency hospital. Long story short- our cat ended up at MedVet with urethal obstruction in severe pain. Instead of this office prescribing what our baby needed and what we were more than willing to pay for the first time, we brought our cat home in a box. 3 days he went without much needed medication that I was told could’ve very well prevented the blockage from happening. I brought our baby in originally with a credit card ready to swipe. Apparently after an all day visit, disease diagnosis, and 2 phone calls after discharge weren’t enough for this office to reconsider treatment. We will never step foot in this office again. No amount of money, time, or apologies will bring back one of the most beloved members of our family. Whether or not it was fate from the beginning, our cat suffered. Our only hope is this is a huge lesson learned in clinical treatment and listening to your clients when medication is unresponsive.
