How to Save Money at Sadie Veterinary Urgent 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.

I have had some extremely poor experiences with other vets so I was reluctant to take my cat into the vet. She was having some tummy issues and I was afraid she may have gotten something from the new food we switched her to. I decided to take her in anyway just to make sure she was okay. This vet office was incredible and really did care about my cat. They did not make me feel judged for bringing her in nor did they make me feel judged for being mindful of my money situation. They were extremely clear about pricing before doing anything and were clear about expectations. They only recommended what was absolutely necessary rather than just giving my cat a ton of medication. Every other vet I’ve been to made me feel judged for my money situation as well as made me feel like I was being dramatic. This vet was exactly the opposite. I’m currently a college student so I don’t always have endless amounts of money to spend. Both myself and my cat felt very comfortable with everyone involved in her care and we didn’t feel any pressure to do treatments that were not necessary. On top of all of this, their office is extremely clean and obviously being well taken care of. I am so grateful that my cat came out healthy and has not shown any symptoms of being sick since I took her home. I cannot thank everyone here enough for fitting us into their busy schedule and giving me peace of mind. Pets are family and this vet truly treats them like such. We both hope we never have to go to urgent care again but if the need ever arises, I know exactly where to go.

We had to, unfortunately, let our beloved dog of 12 years go suddenly to complications of a sarcoma she had. We were referred here from our usual vet. They are typically appointment only, which we didn’t know as we rushed our dog to Sadie. Thankfully the kind front desk staff took the time to check with their providers and thankfully they were able to squeeze us in. We knew that our options were not great and after much discussion with the provider, we opted to let our Phoebe go. We were not rushed and told that we could have as much time as we needed. The provider was kind, caring and did her best to comfort us in tragic time. She walked us through what to expect and what our options are for aftercare. We decided to cremate Phoebe. I can’t thank the staff at Sadie enough for helping us through this difficult time and allowing us the time we needed with our girl.

Amazing place! Very clean, very friendly!! I loved the staff and our Dr is such an angel!! I feel so lucky to have been able to have this experience with these people. I would recommend them for your urgent pet needs all day every day no matter the cost. Which they are up front with everyone about in the most non-judgmental way I've ever seen or experienced. I simply cannot say enough about the wonderful experience I had here!!

My poor kitty was in a presumed cat fight and had a nasty gash on his hind leg. He was limping pretty bad and in a lot of pain. I was worried about him but concerned about the cost after my regular vet said it would be anywhere from $500-1k. The moment we arrived we were out at ease. Dr Wycoff and her staff were so kind and gentle with Arrow. He gets stressed at the vet and they handled everything so well. They didn’t insist on expensive and unnecessary procedures like other vets we’ve been to. Arrow is doing much better now due to the awesome staff at Sadie. Thank you!!

The 5 stars are well-deserved. The hospital itself was absolutely beautiful and was very warm and inviting. The staff were all very friendly and informative and were able to get my pet in same day. I’m so grateful that Sadie is an option for my pets and if I am ever in need of urgent care, I’ll be giving them a call!
