How to Save Money at Main St 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.

Everyone at the clinic always does a great job at making sure you know your pets are in good hands. We’ve had many visits with them and Dr. Conley is always there to provide excellent advice, and is very up-front and honest.

I will never take my animals anywhere else. My boyfriend took my cat to another vet (i was at work) and they didn't do any tests just said "oh he's dehydrated" gave him fluids and potassium and that was it. A week later he still was dropping weight and not eating/drinking. I took him to main St vet and they quickly told me his kidneys are failing. I was devastated. They gave him fluids and really talked to me about my options. I came up everyday for fluids for him, special food and medicine for his appetite. Unfortunately he passed thursday night. I called hysterical after 8pm and they called me right back so sweet and sympathetic. I told them I wanted him cremated and they said of course bring him up here and we will talk you through it. Dr Conley came out with their office cats box and ashes and explained the whole process to me and a book of options of urns for his ashes. To have a vet sit down and talk to you with genuine care and empathy is unheard of. Dr Conley and his staff are the most knowledgeable and caring people I have seen in this field. They really care about your pets and go above and beyond. You have a forever customer now. Thank you for yalls compassion for me and my baby Lou. Thank you for giving me another week to love him and say goodbye. I can't express enough the closure you gave to us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

We had to put our beloved pretty boy to sleep today and Dr.Conley and his staff were so caring and made the transition so very easy. ❤

I started bringing my dog here in 2018. They provided great care! Everything was always explained in detail and as kindly as possible. I recently had to have my little dog put to sleep and Dr. Conley was so kind during the whole process. The say of he explained the process and then gave me the time I needed to say goodbye. Would definitely recommend this practice.
