How to Save Money at Shuler Veterinary Clinic

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.

They’re great, nonjudgmental, and really love the animals. I really felt comfortable bringing my cat here

Shuler Veterinary clinic is the best. We travel back and forth to Wisconsin and Shuler Veterinary takes good care of our 13 year old golden retriever with multiple health problems as well as our five month golden while we are here. They also do acupuncture and laser treatments which greatly helps my older dog.

I had a feral cat from work get injured, I went to the "emergency vet" which told me the emergency part was closed due to no doctors even though there were doctors on the appt side seeing patients. I called Shuler and they said bring her right in. They were informative and extremely kind. I would highly recommend Shuler for all your fur baby needs.

Kevin Shuler is a great vet--very clear, informative and compassionate as well as extremely competent. My 13-year-old poodle Beau had a very unsightly sty in his right eye. Dr. Shuler removed it in such a professional fashion that there's absolutely no scar, nor any sign it was ever there. Beau didn't even have to wear the "cone of shame"! He was bouncing around as though nothing had happened within a day. His appetite took a day to return, during which the vet clinic gave me an appetite booster to use on his food. That and his pain meds were included in the overall cost of the operation. Excellent care all around.

The entire staff of Shuler Vet Clinic is so professional and caring. They appear to love my babies as much as I do.
