How to Save Money at Vip Petcare
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.

Brought my handicapped 11 year old dog in for flea medicine. I told these people that she was paralyzed at one point bc of a car accident and still had pain in her spine above her hind legs. One tech was holding her in a way that was pushing down on her hind legs so that my dog’s were spread out twice as far as they normally would. Another tech kept touching her spine at the very spot I told them not to. When I told the tech not to touch my dog there the tech was confused for the reason why. As I try to show my dog some compassion they say “you can talk to her but don’t touch her “. The tech taking my dogs blood blew out my dogs vein. She said, “she is bleeding a lot”. Doesn’t sterilize or wrap my dogs wound that the tech caused. To top it off they didn’t process my new address. The meds are still not here bc they sent them to the wrong address. The people they use, PetIQ, for the meds are rated a 2.8. They are not reliable as well. I have had to call them twice already bc of their incompetence. Words don’t describe how traumatic the experience has been. Charged $205… still don’t have meds. It will be 2 week’s minimum before my dog gets them. I recommend doing business elsewhere.

Vet and vet tech were very rude. I came to get my kitten looked at for his first shots, dewormer, etc. I told the cashier/tech that I thought he had ringworm. The vet said "I doubt it's ringworm and most people don't even know what they're looking at," under his breath, to his other tech. So I go over with my cat and they take him out of the kennel. I talked to them about the ringworm and they told me they couldn't help me with that and I'd have to go to a vet. I explained to them the ringworm was part of the reason I was giving them $100+ that day and they both snapped at me, "this is not a full service vet clinic." Then the vet said, "I'm the vet so I get to make those decisions," again, with a very rude tone. So I just said OK and they gave my kitten his shots. Then the vet took a second to look at the ringworm spot on my cat, saying nothing. I spoke up, "I'm pretty sure that's ringworm, I've seen it before." To which he agreed. You would think working for a low-cost vet clinic, they would have some compassion and a desire to help people who might not be able to afford an full-service vet for whatever reason. But this group just seemed to be resentful of having to spend their time serving people like me.

Just wanted to clear the air for anyone who is looking this location up. This specific company drives out to Tractor Supplies Stores and Pet Supplies Stores. The reviews with any feedback about the service for this location is not applicable since they work out of stores.
