How to Save Money at Hometown Pet 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.

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 Dog who is deaf was seriously injured after being struck by a very large truck out in the County. No other vet in the area would even consider seeing him, they told me to go to just to Joplin or Tulsa. I called Hometown Pet Care & there was zero hesitation. They said "Bring him in"! By the time I arrived Dr. Prescott, His Nurse Jennifer, & his whole team were standing at the door waiting for me. They were be very sympathetic to the fact that my dog is deaf, very scared, and very likely fixing to die. The Dr. was honest &, he told me what I already knew. The chances of my Furry Buddy making it, was slim because he was in such bad shape, & had a high potential of not being normal if he did make it. He was was in critical, & guarded condition. Dr Prescott & his team wasted no time by asking a whole lot of financial or insurance questions. They just got right to work. Turned out my little buddy had a severely Fractured Mandible, a Herniated Diaphragm with displaced organs, & numerous other traumatic injuries that weren't in his favor, It seemed like there was no way he could make it. He stayed in the hospital well over a week. Needless to say I was heart broken & very worried. Dr.Prescott minced no words & was very honest. but also very caring. It was touch and go for the first few days. Everytime "Home Town Pet Care" showed up on my caller ID, I felt sick & just knew they were calling to tell me he didn't make it. But it was just Dr Prescott taking time to personally call me and give me an update. And by the Mercy of God & three surgeries later my little buddy came out like a champ. Every single Day the Dr would call me at least once sometimes twice & give me an update. I myself am retired but I worked in Critical Care for almost 30 years as a licensed Critical Care Provider, I was on the Trauma Team at a Level 1 facility or many of those years, but I worked in Human patients that most of the time could communicate & tell where it hurt, I admit, I was lost when it came to dogs. But I do know very well the dedication and emotional stress it takes to do that type of work on any being. I'm telling you Dr Prescott is one of those kind of people. I am very impressed, with his level of skill, professionalism, and empathy. I will not take any of my Animal friends to anyone else. I don't hand out compliments as much as I probably should, but this man and his care team really deserve these accolades, and I pray that God will continue to bless their hands, hearts, & minds. God Speed Dr Prescott.

We are fairly new to Miami Oklahoma and decided to try another local veterinarian. This clinic was so friendly and helped us with our dog. The veterinarian provided great care for our dog and let us know how much the services would cost. I'm very happy with this clinic, and I'm super picky about vets. I am glad we found this clinic and will bring all our furbabies here.

Great bunch of people. Got my little man's shots all up to date and got him feeling good. Everybody was so friendly and helpful. So glad that I switched from the other vet out by Morgan hill.

We just moved to the area and our rescue was acting very sick they were able to get her in the same day and sent her something with everything she would need. Staff was polite, efficient, and a pleasure to work with.
