How to Save Money at The Ark Veterinary Services

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’ve taken our pup to the Ark twice now for her annual checkups. Dr. Brummett and staff are wonderful! Dr. Brummett is extremely knowledgeable and patient with any questions we may have. The prices are very reasonable as well. Would highly recommend The Ark for any of your pet needs.

Dr. Brummett and his staff are the best. It is clear that they care about your pets and you. I brought my Great Dane to him for 4.5 years (and still would be if I hadn’t moved 2.5 hrs away). They are kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. It is rare to find an office, staff and veterinarian like you will find at Ark Veterinary Services. I highly recommend them.

There is no way to overestimate the quality of Ark Veterinary Services. They are friendly, very knowledgeable and very reasonable in price. I drive a fair amount of time to get my animals to them and I do not consider it the sacrifice.

This is by far the most caring place you can take any pet. Dr. B genuinely loves animals, takes his time, and does everything that he can to help. I wish I had a human doctor like him.

I have used dozens of vets over the past 20 or so years of owning dogs. Dr. Brummet is hands down the best vet I've ever used. He is caring, thorough and has a very reasonable approach to treatment...not trying to over sell you on things you don't need. "Let's try this first, if that doesn't work we'll go to the next step". His pricing is extremely reasonable and I've never felt like I was being taken advantage of- which has happened many times with past vets. He's very busy, and often times not accepting new patients. But if you can get in, he will absolutely take the best care of your fur babies!! I can't recommend him highly enough!! The entire staff is amazing. I would be devastated if he ever moved or closed his practice.
