How to Save Money at Meadowlawn Animal Services-Loris
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.

First visit. 13 wk cocker spaniel puppy. Without knowing her vaccination history, they take her to get weighed, in a communal animal intake. Why is that necessary? Other than to accomplish many tasks at once? Did it ever occur, that my pup may be exposed to sick animals? My dogs are my kids...and I asked the vet not to have heartworm med...they gave it to her anyways...needless to say, I will not be asking for their services again. I believe having a private room, is not only necessary for the safety of my pet, but also having piece of mind that I am with my pet at all times. You never earned my trust, and I certainly would never be in your clinic again. Btw, when I asked what took so long to have her weighed, your associate rolled her eyes, and sarcastically said, we had to take her vitals, blah blah blah...then you were surprised my pup was so friendly. What? Make better choices when speaking to your CUSTOMER...

All the staff are great. Always checking to make sure the babies are well and vaccinated. They listen and answer all of our questions.

This practice was very responsive to an urgent situation with our pup. We were on vacation from New Jersey and they scheduled us right in to look at our pup despite the busy office. Dr. Hardy was very good with our pup and straightforward with us. He called me on my cell to follow up and returned my calls right away. Thank you Dr. Hardy, you're our go-to when we are in Myrtle!

Everyone took great care of our Penny. Brooke and Dr. Graham were both very friendly and very thorough Penny didn’t bark or growl once.
