How to Save Money at Walnut Plaza Veterinary Hospital

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.

I am going to tell you now if you like Dr. Pol, you are going to love him. This man knows exactly what he’s talking about, and is matter of fact, he tells you the truth he says exactly how he sees it and that’s it. His knowledge is indescribable and he doesn’t nickel and dime you. If you want a good veterinarian, go to him if you want one, that’s gonna nickel and dime you and just tell you a bunch of stories then, go to them. How much do you actually love your dog? That’s something you need to discuss with yourself. This man knows his stuff

We've been bringing our furriest family members to see Dr. Boemer for years - he, his wife, and his staff are such a gift to our community! They've helped us care for our cats through every stage of their lives, acute and chronic issues, and all the regular check-ups and vaccines, and they take the best care of us every time we go in. I love that they know who we are when we come in, something that's unique to smaller practices, I think. And they're very conscious of cost, so we're always provided with options - Joyce will go out of her way to find a better deal on medication, and I never feel like we're being oversold or asked to pay for tests or treatments that aren't necessary. I highly recommend Walnut Plaza Vet Hospital - we're so thankful for them!

I have been taking my fur babies to Dr. Boemer for 20+ years. I love that the same people are there for every visit. My dogs have never seen anyone other than Dr.B and all have lived well in his care. His knowledge and compassion are second to none. I have friends that after seeing how well my dogs were taken care of came to him in an emergency situation. They continued to bring their pup to him until they moved out of state, even though they lived 30 miles away. The staff has been there for years and know me and my babies by name. Even when the time has come for them to cross the Rainbow Bridge I knew they had lived as well and long as possible under the care of a caring team. It is at those moments that having a veterinarian family is so very important and appreciated. Thank you Dr. Boemer, Joyce, Roche (who my pups love as much as me) and Adolpho for taking such good care of my pups and me.

DR. Boemer is the best and the staff is no lie super sweet here. I took my dog here to get his shots here in the beginnings of June 2018. It's 2019 now and i brought my dog again because he got sick and Dr. Boemer was able to get me his exam, antibiotics and a refill on previous medicine and it did NOT break the bank. I definitely recommend this place, its small but pretty legit. The staff is super sweet to you and your fur babies! :)
