How to Save Money at Fayette Veterinary Hospital
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.

I absolutely love them. They have been taking care of my dogs for years. Always upfront and honest. They do not do things that aren't necessary to rack up the bill. They are very patient and kind. They talk to my dogs like they are theirs. I'm very appreciative of the care they receive there.

Awful experience they were not very attentive with my dog spent 8 minutes with her then spent the next 25 minutes in the back room figuring out how much they could take me for, came to a care agreement however she REFUSED to give my dog vaccinations including rabies and said that would have to be done at another appointment (and another $70 visit charge) immediately after leaving this office I went to another vet because she is not trustworthy. If you love your dog this is not the place to bring them because all she's worried about is your wallet, not your pet. Her bedside manner is awful and she is very condescending and talks down to you. She shouldn't be a Vet. Because she showed no compassion for my dog at all..Take your Animals anywhere else and they will be treated better. I wish I would have read some of these reviews before I subjected my poor dog before going in for "care" hopefully my review will save someone from the same horrible experience that I had here..

Staff loved my cats and were very good with them. Upon bringing my puppy in they seemed uninterested in her and barely looked her over. I wasn’t comfortable with their lax attitude towards my pup so we started taking her somewhere else. This vet is very expensive compared to the other vet we are seeing. I continued taking my cats there because I felt decent about the care they were receiving. However, at our last visit, the office was understaffed and rude. They rushed us and took our cats back without allowing us to come back with them. Then after getting the bill I see that they gave my cats an optional vaccine that I DID NOT WANT. We had talked about the option of getting the vaccine but I never confirmed that that’s what I wanted to do. So disappointed with this vet and I will not be bringing my animals there anymore. Expensive and uninformative. I don’t want to go to a vet that I cannot trust.

Very sad times....I was forced to put my companion down and was extremely distraught. Calling and explaining my situation the Staff displayed great empathy and made time for me in their busy schedule. Once I got there they immediately came to my aid due to my pups size, being a very large German Shepherd. They permitted me to stay with him thru the entire ordeal and was very kind to both my pup and myself. Afterwards, they sent me a card which they all signed with kind words of support. The card also had my pups paw print in it....still is hard today just thinking about it, but the Staff complete deserves this write-up. The kindness they showed in such a hard time was beyond appreciated. This review is the very least I could do in return. The assistance they provided along with their kindness alone merited the cost outside of the procedure. Dont think I could find a better Vet service in the area, if not state! I give my deepest gratitude to the Staff and to let them all know their mentality of their work being personal care and NOT commercial was a God-send in a very VERY sad time. Thank You. PS: Not wanting to dwell to much on our loss I'm foregoing spell and grammar checking, and hope this rating provides at least a tad bit of credit to the Staff, its the very least they deserve!

They take really good care of our Spark. I’ve been there with our other pups as well who are now over the rainbow bridge I would highly recommend them. The girls are nice Spark adores them all. No one else I would trust to be honest! They love the animals and I can say the animals love them 💜
