How to Save Money at PetsFirst! Wellness Center
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.

All I can say is, Dr. Johnson will love on your pet so much, they won't want to come home. :) The staff is amazing, the vet super friendly and knowledgeable. I worry about my dog being aggressive towards other animals or peeing on the floor, but the staff and vet were both so good at keeping him busy with treats, loves (so many loves!), and kind words that he wasn't even phased by the cats and other dogs there. The wellness check was super thorough. They covered everything and then some. I'm so glad I have Dr. Johnson and his staff to love my pet as much as I love him.

The best vet I have ever been to! They take care of all our needs and got one of our dogs in for surgery quickly. Our dog had a bowel obstruction that we didn't know about. We described the symptoms over the phone and they worked us into the schedule and saved my girl's life! And for our other dog that needed more extensive surgery after she had her foot broken, they helped us get set up with the other vet to get her the help she needed. Love love LOVE this team and all they do!

Like us we don't necessarily run to the doctors for a little sniffles. That being said first time being to ther facilities after a very rude experience at a diffrent clinic, they communicated well with me about my dog, they treated him like he was their pup, gave him treats that he was more than happy to receive. Took extra care to make him comfortable and happy. Happy to say I will being going back with my dog and I would not shy anyone away from them.

I had an Injured cat. They were able to get me in soon. I arrived early just in case there was an unexpected opening. Yet I waited well past my appointment time. When I ask what happened. They let me know a Dogg that came in ( after I checked in) was put ahead of my injured pet because it was Injured. Yet when I realized the dog was the one jumping and laying content on it's owner's lap was more important than my injured cat. WOW. Not a good place.
