How to Save Money at Grote 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.

Dr Solomon is great! Thank you so much for accommodating my special anxiety kitty. He is feeling and breathing so much better! She knew exactly what my cat needed and is quick and gentle.

We like Dr. Solomon and all the techs we've dealt with. Our dog constantly gets into stuff that upsets her tummy despite our best efforts. Dr is very helpful in offering advice beyond diagnosis and addresses all our concerns. This is the consistent best vet experience we've had. No drama :-)

I'm leaving this review after quite a bit of consideration. We're fairly new to the area and needed a new vet. We visited this place 3 times total. The first was great, the second and third were subpar to say the least. I took a very small (maybe 3-4) week old kitten that we had found in because she had been losing her hair and had some concerning skin irritation. We saw the female vet and the whole experience felt very rushed and impersonal. I mentioned that she had diarrhea, hoping they'd do a fecal test.. nope. Was simply sent home with an antifungal solution and told it was "likely just round worms". Over the next week the kittens health drastically declined and so we went back in. She was in pretty bad shape, they did a fecal test this time and informed me that she had coccidiosis. We were sent home with the anti-parasitic and a nutritional supplement. We came home, I fed her and gave her the first round of medicine exactly as prescribed.. She died 3 hours later. I placed no blame on this office or the doctors. I'd like to note now that I am almost 21 weeks pregnant and began to be concerned about being in contact with this parasite. I called the following day to try and get more information regarding this and if they could tell me what specific strain of coccidiosis it was and if I should be concerned about contracting toxoplasmosis which can be harmful to my baby. After being passed around to 3 people on the phone, I finally speak to the male vet. He informs me that they simply do not know what strain it is because they don't test for that, they just test for the presence of the eggs.. he then made sure to tell me that it's probably not an issue and I'm "probably overly emotional" about this situation because I'm pregnant. As if this was a completely unreasonable thing to be concerned about. Aside from feeling that this whole thing could've been avoided had they listened to me when I first voiced my concerns, I find this incredibly insulting and needless to say we will be finding another vet.

This clinic was highly recommended but I was very disappointed. Not one person told me their name. During the wellness exam the vet listened with a stethoscope but didn’t mention any findings or if ask was normal. The Vet Tech noticed my lines ears were dirty so I asked how to clean them. The Vet said she’d get me some ear wash…. Not telling me it would be $15 freaking dollars! I’ll not go back.
