How to Save Money at Mt. Pleasant Vet 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.

Our first visit was great! When we arrived I called to let the front desk know we had arrived and explained that my dog, Grady, doesn’t do well with other large dogs, I was told to come in through a side door to avoid the waiting area and we would go straight to a room. Within 5 minutes of getting in the room a vet tech, Hannah, arrived to get some background info, then Dr. Noce came in for the visit, she was professional but so sweet. She was thorough and explained everything. I was given great options for tests and supplements without any pressure. I think Grady felt very comfortable with Hannah and Dr. Noce, which means so much. All the staff I came in contact with were super friendly and professional, the office was spotless and welcoming, and the cost for services and supplies I purchased was so reasonable. This was definitely the best experience I’ve had with a vet office in the area.

I love this vet and Dr. K and Dr. Noce are amazing! Dr. K saved Benny's life - literally! She was able to diagnose him correctly after one visit! I won't take Benny anywhere else! The staff are all very polite and helpful too!! FIVE STARS!

We brought our three boys in to be vaxxed/checked before a planned road trip. They are indoor cats, so they do not have a lot of vet visits, which we had informed the office. $700, and we got to deal with ANIMAL CONTROL. The incompetent vet tech decided not to secure Josh for a blood draw. Instead, they thought they could hold an unknown older cat (without his mum) and do the blood draw. Josh bit the vet tech. Cats are going to the cat, especially when scared. Rather than handle it, they decided to call animal control, which I now get to manage. No apology. No refund. Nothing. They messed up, and we get to deal with the fallout of selecting the wrong vet office. If you love your pets like family, consider anywhere else.
