How to Save Money at Holden Jim DVM

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.

We are new to the area and have 4 dogs, all 4 dogs have been seen and treated by Dr. Holden's office, either by Dr Holden or another vet that works with him. I have had nothing but the best experience with this vet. Prices are very affordable. I will not consider taking my fur babies any place else. The ladies that work in the office are all very nice, helpful and caring. So if you need a vet in Beaufort while visiting or live here in Beaufort this is the place to take your fur babies for the best care.

Wonderful vet! My cat developed an ear hematoma overnight! Horrible! My regular vets couldn't get her in for 2+ days! I called Doc Holden's office and they had an opening late the same day! He knew exactly what the issue was and what to do! The service and price were incredible! After draining twice, we chose to do surgery. Talk about an awesome experience! His service and prices are unmatched in Beaufort! My 4 fur-kids have a new doctor! Thanks!

Staff is so wonderful and caring. Your furry baby is not just another animal, they treat them like they are a loved one and are the only one! They take the time to talk to you, ask questions, exam them thoroughly and talk to you! They actually care about your baby! I love them so much! They are not just "another Vet"! The care and share the love you have!

Extrordinary Clinic!- We are visiting from Toronto with our 11 year old lab. Although fully booked they saw her, as she could not put any weight on 1 leg and in great pain. Misha got the best caring examination with diagnosis. Top Notch Clinic-Reasonable cost Best Vet Ever!
