How to Save Money at Shields Animal 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.

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.

We absolutely love our Vet!! We started going here this year and I can't say enough about how much we appreciate everyone who works here! The front desk staff is wonderful, extremely helpful, kind and always professional with a personal touch. They make you feel like you are family, which I love! They know who we are when we call, know our dogs and show incredible love for all of them. Dr. King always gives great advice and spends a lot of time with us, always happy to answer any questions we have. We have two special breeds that are very different and he has helped educate us about each of their specific needs. It means so much to us that we are not just another number or another dollar but we are fur-parents whom only want to be the best we can be and provide the best care for our fur babies. Thank you all so very much, we will continue to bring our babies to you and tell all our friends to come to you too!!

We take all our pets to Dr. King here at Shields Animal Clinic, we trust him IMPLICITLY with the care of our family pets. We are always greeted with excitement and they remember our names, pets and situations without looking at a chart. You are not treated like a number, nor are our pets. We also feel like he is not just out for the almight dollar, but in this because of his genuine love for animals. It shows not only with his care, but also with all of the staff members we have ever encountered. My wife also started a rescue with our daughter, Adriana's Saints and Angels rescue. We take all our rescues to Dr. King. He is kind, compassionate and willing to educate us in all areas on how to best treat not only our pets, but also the rescues we bring in. It can be very hard when dealing with disease, abuse, neglect and abandoned pets, but he genuinely cares about our cause and helps them in every way possible. He makes even the toughest situations bearable because of his kindness, compassion and empathy. The health and welfare of the animals comes first and we can't express how much we appreciate all he does for them! If I could recommend him and his staff with 10 stars we would as 5 doesn't feel worthy enough for them! They are truly the best and we will always take our pets here! Here's some photos of our family pets and rescues who he has treated for us!

The best veterinarian in town, definitely honest and always great service! We take all our dogs here and even will be bringing our rescues here soon! Dr. King cares, as do his staff and that's the most important thing ever! He saved the life of our 16 yr old dog after an attack too! They know my dogs by name every time we come in. Thank you for always being incredible!

I can't really say much about the service because I never actually got the opportunity to make an appointment. I was in the process of trying to get my dog in to be seen and explaining my situation when the Dr cut me off mid-sentence and very rudely said he wasn't taking any new patients. That's fine, but don't interrupt me when I'm speaking. If he's going to be this rude right off the bat, then I'm really glad I'm not taking my pet there. Just from this one short experience, I would never send anyone to see him.
