How to Save Money at Gilmer 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.

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 had an issue going on with my fur baby. I had taken her to her vet clinic that I had taken her to for years, and the vet was by far the most rude, inconsiderate, nasty person ever. I called this clinic on April 6, 2023 2 days after that and talked about what was going on with my girl and what I felt I needed to do. I can't remember her name but she was so comforting and reassured me that my decision was not selfish. Once I walked in I was all tore up so much I couldn't talk. They knew who I was. The vet, Dr Miller, and his assistants were so nice. Dr. Miller was just what I needed on one of the hardest days of my life and my son, who was with me. I made the hardest decision to put my fur baby to sleep because she was suffering and in pain. If I ever decide to get another fur baby I will most definitely be using this vet clinic. Thank you to the whole staff for being so nice, understanding, and not making me feel like I didn't care about my fur baby. Y'all are awesome!! 💗

Recently moved to Gilmer so I had to find a new Vet office. I'm glad I went with GAC! Everyone was a dream and treated my babies as their own! I have a newly adopted pup and they helped me figure out the best diet for him! Shout to Lindsey, the Science Diet dry dog food worked for Teddy!💗

They took very good care of us and our dog on very short notice and in a difficult situation. We were very impressed with everything they did for us and the other people and animals around us.

We just moved to the area and are super happy with the way they have treated us and our Mr. Bean and Cheech. My wife looked them up prior to moving to the area and we are excited to continuing bringing our pets to the clinic for as long as Hod keeps them with us. Thank you to the staff for the follow up calls and concern for our fur babies.
