How to Save Money at Seven Hills Pet Wellness Center & Preventive 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.

Updated: They are still very good with my two large dogs and every interaction has been pleasant. When I text them for an appointment or questions, they answer almost immediately. I'm thrilled to say, they are still economical. They also gave me a free sample of flea, tick, parasite and worm pill, for both dogs. Earlier: My dog became very ill very quickly and I was able to get her in the next day. My dog was already feeling better when I brought her in but I went ahead and brought her in because her annual parasite testing was due. She had lost 12 pounds in 3 weeks! This was an eye opener. They sent her home with some canned food that she loved that they let her try in house to make sure that she would eat it. The staff is caring, the prices are great compared to other Veterinarians in the area. I highly recommend this Clinic. Update: This place is very economical and were very good with my cats even though one of them had scratched the heck out of me.

Back in 2022 we had to put our 17 year old dog down and they were SO nice and compassionate to us. I got my new puppy on Sunday and wanted to go back because of how nice they were a few years ago. They were still SO NICE! So friendly and helpful. I will continue to see them and recommend them as well!

So, I’ve been coming here since last year and I will be really honest about my review. I believe it was August last year when I brought my cat who at that time may have had UTI (luckily no) and the receptionist was a rude stubby old white woman who said she couldn’t find our information online and didn’t even bother trying harder like looking up my phone number until a colleague of hers intervened because the moment is about to escalate and said they finally found me and that they spelled my last name INCORRECTLY on file. That receptionist didn’t even bother apologizing. Fast forward to this year, 2 weeks ago, I texted them to schedule an appointment for my cat to get a rabies shot and the person corresponding with me seems to not know how to do their job. My cat is due for rabies on 7/31/25 and the person said she isn’t due for rabies until 2027, but “she is due for exam: heartworm and fecal.” I wasn’t convinced and looked for my cat’s rabies certificate and I took pictures of them and sent it back because they really do say she is due on 7/31/25. That person then said they will get in touch with the doc and just to tell me “the doc is out for day” and minutes later I get a text saying they can give her a rabies shot on 6/25. They apologized “for the confusion “ and I am concerned that they may have been providing incorrect information to other pet owners because the vet tech told me at the clinic when I went that they only do heartworm test for dogs. Not for cats. Anyways, I also have to mention my experience today; our appointment was at 10 am and I arrived at 9:52 am. The receptionist didn’t check us in until 10:17 am. When we arrived , she was assisting a younger woman and then, an elderly white woman came out with her cat ready to check out. I was behind the younger woman and I thought I would be next but no, the old white receptionist instead checked out the old lady although I was next in line and guess what??? They even had a chit chat like I didn’t exist! I guess because that person has been going there for a long time that she may have some kinda special treatment, but I just find it so disrespectful to make me wait like that. She could’ve checked me in first and then checked out that old lady so they can keep doing their chitchats. It’s ridiculous and inconsiderate. However, the only good thing about that place is Dr. Tall and her amazing vet techs.
