How to Save Money at Balance Veterinary 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.

Getting 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.

Teri sue is the best vet I have ever experienced! She is so kind and gentle. Really cares for her clients. She is such a hard worker and is always doing whatever she can to help. I love the holistic approach to her practice. My pup is always so excited for his next vet visit. (How many pet owners can say that) We are blessed to have her as our vet. She also helped turned my eldest dogs life around and gave us many extra years with her. Can not recommend this business enough!

Teri Sue is an amazing vet when it comes to end of life! I had a pet rat pts a couple years ago and recently when my cat was at the end of his life she helped me with him too. She was so caring and understanding about my cat and really made the experience better despite the horrible circumstances. She is mobile so that helps me a ton as I don't have a car. She also is the vet for two of my neighbors and has been excellent for them too.

After going to a different vet closer to my home, and several hundred dollars later no results. I regret not going to BALANCE first. Balance vet and Teri Su are are first choice for future care. She was able to bring my dog comfort, the other vet just charged us and made things worse. Do not take you pets to McKenzie Animal hospital they are rip offs and offered us no resolve after a $660 bill. that they refused to refund after I got proper care at Balance Vet Care. I only wish I had made my appointment with them sooner. Because Teri Su brought comfort to her and that is what was needed most for both pet and owner. Can not thank you enough Teri Su.

Teri Sue and her staff are thoughtful, caring, and dedicated to the health and welfare of our animals. I have taken my last dog and my current puppy to them for care and have always been extremely happy with their care.
