How to Save Money at Poinsett Animal 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.

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.

My precious little old baby Bandit needed surgery to remove a growth above his lip. Dr. Danielle Williams did an amazing job!! I was so scared for him because he is 13. She went above and beyond for us both to feel comfortable. I had originally went to another vet that was closer to home and they were terrible and wanted to charge an extra thousand dollars for the same procedure! Now I will never go anywhere else they are totally worth the 45 minute drive!

Many years later Harry Houdini is a thriving stray cat that y’all took care of when we found him with a hurt paw. We have moved away from the area but we appreciated how willing you were to treat him. Other vet’s would not because he was a stray.

For years, loved taking my cats to the previous vet at Poinsett Veterinary who retired several years. As is the way of all living beings, my last cat passed several years ago. Yesterday, I acquired a very loving two-year old cat. Since “Sadie” came with excellent veterinary records, including vaccinations and no fleas, I decided to wait until after Poinsett Animal Hospital moved into their new facility. However, I quickly realized this sweet cat’s claws are catching on everything. I understand the importance of establishing a relationship between the animal, the vet, and me but I assumed my excellent relationship with the clinic’s former owner would be reason enough for them to take a moment for the cat’s comfort. But nope. Instead, the clinic’s staff verified the owner’s priorities as expressed through their extensive web presence. It clearly states their priorities: marketing and shiny new buildings are more valuable than outdated notions such as building customer-veterinarian relationships.
