How to Save Money at The Corner Vet

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 been there 3 times now and I felt the doctor and staff all respected not just how my pup felt but also me as a concerned owner. They also allowed me to be present wherever possible and I really appreciate that because it made my pup relax a bit and put my mind at ease. Her fear of vets/handling seems to be waning slightly already. I think we've found the place for her to go without hesitation. We love the atmosphere AND the attitudes.

The doctors and techs are really caring and it’s easy to make an appointment. Very high quality care. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that the medications that you need (excluding flea/heartworm) are crazy over priced. I usually try to order the prescriptions from a pet pharmacy or through amazon and it saves a ton.

I went to take my kitten for an examination since he’s a new kitten. Their pricing wasn’t clear on the website but I figured it’d be pretty open ended and initially I was just intending on getting rabies but I planned to take him outside so it was important for me to get him the outdoor vaccine for feline leukemia whether it be now or in a few months when he gets his neuter. Doctor said they’d quote me and then someone came in and just gave my cat the FELV shot. When paying I was shocked to see the cost for the shot being $65 for one dose and I obviously paid because the service was rendered but definitely wouldn’t had I of seen the quote for the costs. Rabies is $44. Not sure costs for other shots. That’s the costs if I were to go to a high end clinic… This was not a “high end” clinic or experience by any means. Would have definitely gone somewhere else - recommend transparent pricing on your website and not rendering services until the client agrees to the costs to have that done.

Great hours! Incredible care and staff! Reasonable rates for procedures and appointments! We LOVE Dr. A and her staff! Our boy started having seizures last year, and Dr. A has been so helpful in guiding us through this process. She is knowledgeable, professional and easy to communicate with. Haley at the front desk is always such a welcoming, warm presence and I love that she knows who our baby is! Every tech we’ve interacted with has been wonderful and patient, especially given the fact that our boy is always a little nervous in the vet’s office. We feel like we are getting personalized, quality care for our pup! This seizure stuff has been scary and anxiety inducing but having a great care team working with us has meant the world.
