How to Save Money at Acres Of Animals Boarding Kennel

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 took a healthy momma cat and 5 healthy playful kittens. I was trying to do the right thing by getting them spayed/neutered. As others have stated in reviews here within 2 weeks, 2 kittens have died. 2 more and the momma cat are very sick and after a $400.00 vet bill today to try and save them it appears inevitable they will Die a grueling death also, had I known and read the reviews I would have had them euthanized today because the deaths are painful and not something I want to see over and over. They are suffering and I can’t do anything to help them. Please do your research. Statements regarding the facility cleanliness and the overall process was not pleasant at all. I am broken hearted, All of the animals deserve better.

Acres of Animals is a wonderful place to board your pets. I have used their service for over twenty years and have always appreciated the love and care my pets have received from everyone on the staff. On one occasion they went well beyond the norm to care for my dog. I have boarded my dogs, cats, and even my parrot. Reasonable rates and outstanding service equal the place to trust with your much loved pets.

A Place Where You Can Take Your Animals to Be Treated With A Lovely Staff And A Lovely Veterinarian Who Would Most Likely Work With You In Hard Times. I Appreciate The Hospitality and Kindness You Have In Your Hearts Not Just For Animals But For The Ppl That Can't Afford Treatments Sometimes. Y'all Are Absolutely Fabulous. I Would Recommend Y'all To Anyone In Need.

The very best care and love for pets. Inexpensive to make it available for everyone. Pets sometimes go without medical care because of being super expensive. Dr. Cochran makes it affordable so many get best of care.

If there was a way to give more that 5 stars I would, Dr. Cochran is the most caring and down to earth vet I have ever met, thank you so much.
