How to Save Money at ReadyVets Veterinary Urgent Care

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.

Thank You for Helping My Miracle, I recently ran into a situation with my almost 3-year-old German Rottweiler, Miracle, concerning her pregnancy. After emailing and calling over seven different locations seeking help, because I couldn’t afford the high prices they were asking, I sent out personal emails and calls — only to be turned down by everyone. It’s sad because so many vets and hospitals speak about their "love for animals," but when you’re truly in a tough situation, that love seems to disappear. We are new to the area, and relocating has been much harder than we expected — especially after losing my mother just three months ago. Things have been financially tight, but that hasn’t changed how deeply I love my Rottie, Miracle. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed that the people in this area aren't very pet-friendly, and when they see a woman of color, they often assume you’re just a "backyard breeder." That couldn't be further from the truth. As someone who battles PTSD, depression, and self-harm thoughts, Miracle has saved my life more times than I can count. She is not just a dog — she’s my lifeline. No, I didn’t have the full amount many clinics required upfront, but I was willing to pay $200 immediately and make arrangements for the rest. Yet, I was treated like just another face — and that’s okay, because today showed me that kindness still exists. The young ladies at the clinic were wonderful and very helpful in getting Miracle the care she needed. The doctor himself was professional, although I did feel some judgment from him, like he assumed I was just someone who irresponsibly bred my Rottweiler. What he didn’t know is that Miracle was bred through AI (artificial insemination), not out of greed, but out of love and a desire to give back — to offer emotional support dogs to people like me who may be struggling. And even though today I may have looked desperate, the truth is, I am an author — with over 75 titles published on Amazon, including countless children’s eBooks, books, and audiobooks centered around animals and dogs. Miracle is even a bit of a celebrity in the dog world! So please, don’t be so quick to judge a book by its cover. I gave this visit 5 stars because, despite everything, they saw my Miracle when no one else would — and for that, I am truly grateful. When things improve, I plan to personally hand-deliver a collection of my books for your office to share with young readers. Look me up — you might be surprised! Thank you again for seeing my best friend, my biggest supporter — my Miracle. – Hilda Williams Author of Over 75 Titles | Designer of Over 180 Designs

Highly recommend Ready Vets in Taylors for urgent care needs for your pet. We had to put our sweet dog to sleep today. Their pricing was $255 less than all other local urgent locations. They are not open 24/7 but do have hours until 10 pm most nights. They treated us with compassion and love, and most of all treated Jax with dignity. They only charged $145 more than our regular vet for euthanasia and individual cremation (includes wooden urn and clay paw print). I think that is very fair considering it’s a Sunday. Thank you for offering wonderful service along with fair pricing.

We recently had to take our Boston Terrier to see Dr Capps. We were nervous of course and you never want to have to use an urgent vet after hours. I can't compliment the staff or Dr Capps enough. They were extremely friendly on the phone and in person and got us in immediately. Dr Capps was very thorough and gave us our options. He didn't do any unnecessary treatment and the price was very reasonable. Although I hope I never need another after-hours visit, I would not hesitate to go back and would highly recommend for anyone else to go there if they are in this situation.

Again thank you for saving Darby’s life and for helping him to get better. He was in to see his doctor today and he is going to be fine and that’s because of you guys at Ready Vet and I will always be grateful. I hope that I will not need an emergency veterinary clinic again but should I have to I know how good you guys really are and that you really do care. I called you with an update this afternoon to let everyone know that I was so grateful for your help and that you treated Darby immediately. Awesomeness is what you guys are ❤️

I hope your cherished fur babies never require a visit to an animal urgent care hospital. However, if the need arises, I highly recommend ReadyVets on Wade Hampton Blvd in Taylors. During my visit, the woman who checked in my Rudi, along with the vet tech and the veterinarian, demonstrated immense kindness, respect, compassion, and empathy as I had to say farewell to my mini dachshund, Rudi.
