How to Save Money at Belmont Veterinary Services
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.

If I could give more stars, I would. I had an emergency with my dog this morning and despite having a fully booked schedule they made arrangements for me. I got in and was IMMEDIATELY seen by a tech vet, and the vet was in within minutes. They took care of my dog so well, and made me feel a lot better in the process. Not only that, but they charged me a VERY fair price for everything that my dog needed. I could not recommend or endorse this place more. To vet Tracy and the amazing staff — THANK YOU

This is the first time I have owned a dog of my own. I went to a couple of different vets in London and was not terribly impressed (long waits, a different doctor every time, expensive). Someone told me to look in one of the smaller areas around the city. I've had wonderful service from Dr Lynn Lam and the young women on the front desk at Belmont Veterinary Services!! As soon as you walk in the door, you are warmly welcomed in this bright cheerful office. I rarely have to wait for my appointment. Dr Lam has always answered my many questions with patience. When the problem with my toy poodle is not obvious, she offers different solutions and tells me how much they will cost. She doesn't push me to choose the most expensive procedure, but explains the various options clearly. I really feel confident in this doctor's ability! The prices seem reasonable to me. When Dr Lam suggested that I try a dental treat, she gave me a large sample size for free, to see if it was what we wanted. I know that this vet service is a little ways outside of town, but for me AND my dog, it is WELL worth it!!! Thank you!

Amazing....Dr. Tracy Vink-Taylor is an absolutely amazing woman! She is not only a fantastic human being who goes above and beyond but is truly the most incredible vet I've ever had. She has been with my pups for 12 years and I literally follow her because I trust no one else but this lady! She makes you feel like family! If I could give her a 10 I would. Truly no one else like her!!

Dr. Tracy and the staff have been wonderful! Our poor pup is touch sensitive and very afraid. They are patient and gentle and great with helping me through the stress of his visits. We're very pleased with their care.
