How to Save Money at Farmers Veterinary Hospital

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.

Every appointment has been quick, easy, and stress free! I got my new doggo a couple of months ago and have been a few times now, the subsequent followup appointments to evaluate his issues were easy and affordable. The vets were knowledgeable and helped me have peace of mind that he is in great health! He's been a blessing in my life and I'm thankful that Farmers Veterinary Hospital has ensured he stays that way!

My 6 month old Amstaff terrier was a nervous/excited wreck he could barely sit down and they treated my baby with nothing but patience I love it here! Tip: Since we are now waiting outside with our pets due to covid (which is no problem by the way) it'd be great to have some waste bags/basket out there? Puppy enjoyed the grassy area next to the building but when he relieved himself we found ourselves scrambling to the car to find a baggie😂

Absolutely amazing! Super wonderful! Very attentive, hear all our concerns and was never dismissive. They made us feel heard and gave us great information so we could really understand processes for specific treatments. We were able to see the charts from previous vets, ECT. on their computer screen and made sure that had all information. Staff was amazing from start to finish! 1000% will be going back for all future vets!
