How to Save Money at Linden Animal 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.

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.

We are so thankful to Dr. Scott and his team! They recently saw our sick turkey Roman who was suffering from what looked like sour crop. We are so grateful as Dr. Scott was willing to see a turkey while many veterinarians were unwilling. Thanks to you guys, Roman is doing much better and his strength has returned.

We found a dog on our property a couple of weeks ago and decided to have him checked out at the vet. Someone had recommended the vet in Linden because they can get you in faster than others. When I called, they said we could just walk in. We took him in that day and loved the place. Everyone was so very nice. All of them. When I thought they couldn't be any nicer, Dr Scott walked in. He was so nice, knowledgeable, and funny! He told us everything we needed to know about our new friend and got him in the following week to be neutered. We loved this place so much we are going to switch our other dog to him as well. I highly recommend him. You won't be disappointed. Prices are reasonable too!

I'm new in the area and had gotten busy. It had been too long since my cats had gone to the vet. Since moving to the country, they decided to be indoor-outdoor pets so I knew they had to have their shots done. Made it up to the clinic on a Saturday. My cats were treated so well and the staff was so incredibly nice. I left there feeling relieved and happy.

We came to the Linden Animal Clinic during our vacation, as we drove through to NC. We spotted a box with two tiny, black kittens inside, on the side of the road. We brought them yo the clinic for kitten care—shots, deworming, and lab work. The clinic staff were all so helpful, and they were kind enough to fit us in. They even gave us a few supplies to help us down the road, since we decided we were in love with the babies. Thank you Linden Animal Clinic! The kittens are thriving!

I never got to utilize their services for our pet but their office staff was capable, friendly and helpful on the phone during a severe pet emergency. Will definitely keep their office in mind for future visits.
