How to Save Money at Ace Veterinary 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.

My experience with Ace Vet Clinic has been extraordinary. The techs are always so helpful and kind. They take special care of my boys and try to make the experience as quick and painless as possible. I love that they are open on weekends, it's really been helpful especially with busy work weeks. The Dr. is very kind and knowledgeable and has provided great care for them. I've gotten their teeth cleaned here as well as yearly checkups. The office communicates well with me and answers all of my questions. I would definitely recommend!

Very quick and friendly. Haven’t been to a vet with my pet in such a long time because he hates going to places. But it was a quick process and will definitely be back and recommend. Great affordable prices as well

I highly recommend everyone to this place. The vet is old school and realistic, which I appreciate VERY much. My friend had to put her dog down today and it was so beautiful. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. The only complaint that I'd say I have would be their phone system, however, if you go to their website you can send them emails and they are quick to replay, usually within 24hrs.

Took my sick dog here and they were great, he was right as rain after some shots & pills from them. Very affordable, which is what Blue Cross used to be and no longer is. They have very kind and courteous staff, which Blue Cross used to have and no longer does. I'll be taking my animals here now, instead of Blue Cross. I was with Blue Cross for almost 10 years but they have drastically changed, although one thing that hasn't changed is that they still make you wait out in the cold for an hour to get seen. Sorry for airing out my dirty laundry in a positive review but I just had to share my experience and say that Ace Vet is AWESOME!

I have been so extremely appreciative of the doctor and staff. The young ladies at the front office have been there many years, and it's nice to see her and her counterparts always willing to jump into action. Smile with a kind greeting and have a passion for clients and their animals.
