How to Save Money at Avenues Pet 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.

Everyone was so incredibly delightful, kind and helpful. I was nervous to find a good vet for my dog, and it kept me from looking seriously for one until I had to. I’m glad her first vet experience got to be a really positive one (for us both). Thank you so much!

Went in for a second opinion on a skin issue that the puppers was experiencing. The staff was all friendly and explained all of the steps they were doing for the diagnosis. I feel like Tsunami's health was their highest concern. Will continue to go to Avenues Pet Clinic from here on out for Tsunami's health needs.

The vet techs and vet were great with my cats even though my cats were not very well behaved (to say the least). They were super patient and gentle with both cats and gave me great information on the vaccines including cost and length of coverage. I will definitely be back.

Dr. Ponce and her team are not only experts in their field, but also compassionate and caring people. They supported my husband and I through our senior girl, Lily's, heart murmur and hyperparathyroidism diagnoses without missing a beat. We always felt our girl was loved and cared for by the best! And we were lucky to have Dr. Ponce and her team at our side through the end. Our girl finally passed at 14 years young after enjoying her golden years as a creek-splashing, tail-wagging hiker, camper, and cuddle monster. Thank you Dr. Ponce and everyone for everything. 💕

This has been the most loving and compassionate vet clinic I've ever found. They have treated my cat for pancreatitis and have gone above and beyond for her. I am so grateful to Dr.Ponce and the staff.
