How to Save Money at VEG ER for Pets
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.

They were so amazing !!! I came with my puppy coffee and he was very nauseous and I was very upset. They made us feel instantly better. I do recommend looking into pet insurance prior to these situations but they got him feeling back healthy so fast!! Such a relief and I would bring my pet here any day. The staff was truly a godsend for me and coffee is happier and healthier than ever. Thank you VEG ER for pets!!

Amazing experience from the moment I walked through the door and when I left. It was a very difficult time for me as my 18 1/2 year old cat was having trouble breathing. As I walked through the door I was greeted right away and asked what was going on. The team at VEG worked very fast giving him extra oxygen and doing an ultrasound to try to find the problem. Unfortunately there was not much that could have been done for my baby given his age and his condition. The team at VEG gave me treatment options but were very upfront about the possibility of success. In the end, I base the decision on his quality of life. They never rushed me, letting me take my time with making my decision and patiently let me ask as many questions as i needed. This was a very confusing time and I felt bad asking the same questions over and over, but no matter what they would answer every time. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to leave with my baby, but the team at VEG gave me as much time as I needed with him before I said my goodbyes. Thank you VEG for the comfort, help, and patience you provided for me and my baby Jay.

DVM (Dr. Eboni) and both vet techs (I think Fable? And the female vet tech, I don’t remember her name) but they were so efficient and treated my baby with so much kindness and dignity. I can’t thank them enough, I was freaking out on my way over thinking my baby was dying (she has a plethora) of health issues, but the bedside manner was top tier and helped relieve my anxiety. On top of that, they did everything right in front of me, which was so helpful for me and my baby. And bonus- their accessibility and payment options, they offer scratchpay, care credit and even Affirm! Thank you to the Veg team for your kindness 🫶🏼

These facilities are amazing - very clean and high quality. We brought our Jack Russell in at about 11:30 pm and the staff was immediately very attentive and empathetic. He received immediate urgent care. There is an open layout so you can sit with your pet and see everything happening. The staff was very communicative and willing to work with our budget when diagnostic prices were too high for us. We had to make the difficult decision to put our dog down, and the staff handled it with so much empathy and kindness. It was a very smooth process and we can’t thank VEG ER for Pets enough for helping us though this difficult evening.

Thank you so much to Dr. Butros, Gabe and Aubra. You made me feel supported and made Molly a priority. She is already back to herself and it’s only been a day. The amount of new knowledge I have for Molly now will help me keep her healthy for her remaining years. You guys are truly a blessing to any pet owner that finds themselves in an emergency situation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for getting Molly back to feeling good!
