How to Save Money at Whispering Pines Veterinary Services - Grove City
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.
Reviews from Google
I've read some of these bad reviews, and it's a bunch of entitled Karen's, treating this facility like their own private emergency vet. Let me tell you the truth of the matter. They see 3 of my 4 shepherds. They oldest is very hard to coax inside, and always pees on the floor (clearly not a fan of the vet). They never make me feel bad about it, and are often available to help me drag her inside. I haven't had a bad experience yet. The first experience I had with them was my little Maltese, who was rapidly deteriorating from a rare strain of Lyme disease. When I called and told them he was having seizures, they took him right away. They kept him for several hours under observation while getting IV fluids. They called me when he got worse, and were very empathetic while he passed. As someone who used to see a very sought after vet in South Florida, I can tell you the pricing is extremely reasonable!

The staff was friendly and easy to work with. They took their time and shows great care to both my cats. The office was bright and welcoming. Today's exam room was spacious and my cats have fun exploring the room. The veterinarian was very knowledgeable. My cats are usually weary of strangers but for some reason they seemed at ease in his hands. Thank you for such a great experience at whispering pines.

What a great Vet with a very caring staff. I was traveling through the area and needed to get my dog in for an issue. They got me in quickly and gave a very good exam and had me on my way. They even told me they will send the doctors notes to my home vet. I would highly recommend this fine group of people for anyone in the area looking for a Vet.

Everyone here seems very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Hard surfaces everywhere make it feel very sanitary for such an old building. So far it's always been a very quick in and out for routine visits. I haven't priced shopped vets, but so far our bill has always seemed fair. Definitely recommended!

Dr.Perkins oversees my Chihuahua Noelles medical treatment for CHF ,enlarged heart and treakea issues because her heart is so enlarged that it's pushing on treakea so she coughs due to not getting enough air in or out . I give this Doctor tons of respect as he is why she is still alive. My Dogs are my heart my kids my everything. I've never felt more confident about a Doctor for my Girls because I know he's making all the professional decisions and he knows what is best.
