How to Save Money at Salt Creek Veterinary Services
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.

Love Monte! Best down to earth vet in Utah. He isn't all about the money. If you do not like someone who is straight up and will tell you like it is, he isn't right for you. Good or bad, he will be 💯 straight up. I am so grateful for their help.

Your pet deserves better So, I met Monty when he prescribed Meloxicam for my old dog with arthritis. Worked great, and I was glad to have (I thought) a good vet locally. I went back to get help with a recurring infection the same dog was suffering from, and Monty's proposed solution was to CUT OF HIS TAIL, to help keep him clean. No way I'm doing that to my 14 year old dog. We tried a few other options I'd asked about, and Monty seemed open to working with me, and was friendly enough. After about the 2nd treatment attempt, Monty stopped answering my phone calls, and eventually had his daughter (works in the office with his wife) tell me he wasn't comfortable treating the dog, and recommended I consult another vet, which I gladly did. Other vet diagnosed and solved the problem immediately, and my dog is fine, and got to keep his tail. Regardless, it was good to have a local vet, and I didn't want to give up on Monty, so I went back for a refill of the Meloxicam several months later. I asked Monty's wife if we could refill the prescription at another pharmacy, as opposed to Chewy who was very expensive by comparison. Monty came busting out of a room down the hall yelling "what are you trying to nickle and dime me for?!" I'm still not sure what difference it makes to him where I get a prescription filled, but I didn't get a chance to ask, as he kept yelling "I know who you are, you're a scammer!" "The other vet wouldn't take you back?" I explained what the other vet did to solve the problem, and that the dog was doing great, and he yelled back "then why are you here?" Explained that I didn't realize there was any bad blood between us, that I appreciated having a local vet for things like this, and I didn't know why he was so mad, to which he replied "well I'm not filling it, get out of here!" I can't imagine what it must be like to be his wife or daughter and have to live with Monty. At least I had the option of not doing business with this unbalanced hack. Do your pets a favor, and drive a little out of the way to find a competent and mentally stable vet.

They were awesome. Able to get us in on short notice for a problem with our cats eye. The vet was very friendly and worked with our cat when he didn't want to come out of the carrier. Would definitely recommend

** Update: Thank you for helping me keep Chloe healthy, she is almost one now! I was desperately looking for a vet to see my tiny puppy and they told me I could go right away, no waiting. The Vet is very nice, and makes you feel welcome. My little Chloe got well and we'll keep going there even if I have to drive 25 miles, yes, 25 miles and there are several places closer but I'll keep taking my pets there.

I chose to take my 6 month old Boxer here because the breeder used him to dock his tail and remove dew claws. We went in for his Rabies vaccine. I asked about sides effects to watch for. The response I got from the vet was " Like him being dead?". What medical professional would make this this kind of comment?? That was the 1st of many uncalled for remarks. He and I did not agree on the reasons for neutering a puppy. His being to stop behaviors, mine being to prevent pregnancy. He thinks castration is the only way to go, I'm for vasectomy to keep natural hormones in place. In the end he told me to never come back to his office. He walked off saying he had REAL work to do. Like my Boxer was of no importance. Never will I recommend anyone to him.
