How to Save Money at Neighborhood Veterinary Care

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 absolutely love & adore this clinic! I found them by pure luck. My little baby was going potty with blood in his stool, I was so scared. I called Neighborhood Vet at 8:30 on the dot and they answered so quickly. They assured me it was most likely nothing to worry about but to still take him in, they were able to take me and my baby in the afternoon that same day. I met Stephanie & Dr. Lynette, they were both so amazing and made me feel so comfortable, they understood my concerns as a first time dog owner. They checked him out for all the concerns I had. They took great care of my baby, gave me some great advice and even wrote me out a bland diet for my dog while he gets better. I would 1000% recommend this place to everyone. We love ALL the staff at this place, they are always so nice and friendly. Never going to take our dog anywhere else!! Thank you a million!!!

Excellent staff all around. We are new pet owners, overly protective, and wanted to stay with him during all procedures (which didn't bother them at all). We feel so lucky that we found such a great place for our dog. We can't say thank you enough to everyone who works there and recommend them to friends/family.

They are very attentive and kind. The Dr was very open about options for treatment and potential costs. They treated me and my dog very well. Due to complications to my Dogs health and her age we ended up putting her down. They took time to explain the process and led me to a grieving room to have time with my animal. They were very aware and kind in waiting for me to say goodbye and take my time to process. Prior to leading me to the room they ran through the options for bringing her home. They were very clear and kind. The options were kind to owners and letting them have a choice of how to bring or send their dog off to the other side. The techs and doc were professional, open, and empathetic. Due to that it was a comfortable experience despite the end result. I am incredibly grateful to the staff and how they handled everything.

I love Neighborhood Veterinary Care for my Newfie, Mollie the Bear. Everyone is friendly. The veterinarians and technicians have great bedside manner for your fur baby. Heather is super helpful and caring about Mollie, so shout out to Heather! My dog had a health scare, which freaked me out; however, Neighborhood Veterinary Care took great attention to Miss Mollie and me. Dr. Janelle Torrens was super calm with nervous me, guided me, and called me whenever there was an update about my Mollie. Dr. Torrens was able to treat Mollie and now she’s back to her normal happy goofy self! Thank you Neighborhood Veterinary Care for all you do!

We absolutely love this vet! We live in Tooele Valley but all of the vets were 6+ months out, and our sweet husky had a pretty bad eye infection. My mother-in-law recommended this vet, and they got us in fairly quickly. They were so sweet with our girl, and have been very flexible as our schedules keep changing. The cost is also significantly lower than other vets, especially ones in this area.
