How to Save Money at Charlottesville Cat Care 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.

This is one of the most amazing vet clinics. I started taking my cat to this vet in 2018 when he was a kitten and continued to see them even after we moved out of Charlottesville. I eventually moved too far away for them to remain our primary veterinarians; however, whenever we came to town to visit family, they would still see my kitty if he was experiencing a medical situation. My cat had quite a few medical issues, but they always took such amazing care of both him and me. I'll never forget their kindness, attention to detail, compassion, and passion for taking care of my sweet boy. My cat sadly passed away three months ago and when I called them to notify them, they treated me with such kindness and even sent a card. I can't recommend this clinic enough for cat owners! Truly an amazing place with very qualified and passionate staff.

Charlottesville Cat Care Clinic has been taking care of my furballs for years. I have had the pleasure of interacting with everyone who works here and all of them have been phenomenal. I truly feel they love my boys as much as I do, and that they are the best place for treatment at all stages of my cats’ lives. I have always felt respected and really (really) appreciate the consideration they have for costs. I always feel that I am getting a good deal and trust their recommendations implicitly. They saved one of my boy’s lives when I thought he wouldn’t pull through (Sputnik) and helped another cross the rainbow bridge peacefully and with dignity when it was his time to say goodbye (Herbie). Those are the moments that are the hardest and their kindness and quality of care shone through. I sincerely wish they also treated humans, I’d sign myself up for an appointment in a heartbeat!

I love Charlottesville Cat Care! Our cat Tia was a patient for 18 years. They have a loving & caring team that were always so helpful. It's very convenient that they only treat cats, because there were never any loud dogs barking to stress out my cat during her appointments. The staff at Charlottesville Cat Care were amazing! I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Love the attention my cats receive every time I take them for their yearly visits. When I have had an emergency they go beyond to make sure my cats receive the best service and attention possible and the cost is very reasonable

We have taken our cats to Dr. Mahanes for 26+ years. She has taken amazing care of our kitty family and we highly recommend her and her staff for their kindness and level of care. And in response to some other reviews I read about Cat Care, in the 25+ years we have gone to Dr. Mahanes we have never had a bad experience in terms of cost or treatment. Having perused reviews of Cat Care, some low star reviewers seem to have issues with payment for services and leave negative reviews for businesses across the board which leads me to think the issue is the reviewer. I have been a client for almost 3 decades and have had 12 cats treated by Cat Care over the years and have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Mahanes and all of her techs.
