How to Save Money at Village Veterinarian
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.

Always friendly, great people. Very helpful. My cat is not easy to work with, and they always do everything they can to make sure she is comfortable during visits.

Took my dog to get neutered , dropped off a little before 10am and picked up 2pm. They did not even give him enough time to fully wake up from anesthesia. As someone with experience in the vet field I was shocked to be handed my dog in this condition. I understand anesthesia can take up to 24 hours to ware off, but to be rushing to get him out the office is ridiculous. The vet had a nasty attitude when asked for medication to bring home with him to calm him down while he heals. She made it look as if I was expecting the medications for free. Over all over priced, very unprofessional. Will not be going back.

All about the money. Conflicting information about the appointment and what they want you to do when you get to the office. Quoted different price for the visit within minutes of walking through the door. Then more $ to actually look at the animal. Then quoted $110 to look and tell me if my Rabbit was a girl or boy. ( it’s all on the inside unlike most mammals) then medication $ on top of that. I was not happy, but payed the bill took the report and walked out. To angry to read the report then and there. Got home, the report was just a bill no info at all! No weights, sex’s, condition, what they did, what the medication was, NOTHING!! So 45 min and $400 later……. I came out no better( but poorer ) then when I went in. I will never go back. Find another vet, one who is not all about the money.

Called to get a cat with a potential UTI an appointment and they gave me an appointment for 2 weeks out. UTI shouldn’t wait that long. Had me on hold forever and then told me they could squeeze me in tomorrow but it’ll cost $110 for the emergency visit (fine) and then Dr will want to do like 6 other tests for additional cost (fine). I asked them what’s the additional cost and she said it would take a few hours. I told her I’ll use my regular vet and she hung up on me. Very professional.

I have been going to doctor Kelly's for over 15 maybe even twenty years now. She is so good with animals. I have every confidence in her whenever I bring one of my babies to see her. Her rates are very fair. And her staff is fantastic
