How to Save Money at Bradford Veterinary 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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.

The quality of care that Dr. Tullar and her team provides is unmatched! I highly recommend choosing BVC for your furry, feathered, and scaled pets.

But when I got there everyone was great the nurses and the vet answered all of my questions and went above and beyond for my furry friends! I feel safe bringing them to you so, Thank you and I look forward to continuing my animals care with your facility!

After moving to the area recently, I have brought in all five of our animals (2 dogs and 3 cats). I was so pleased with how quickly they were able to see all of them. Other vets in the area couldn’t get me an appointment for months! Dr. Tullar did a great job of handling all of their exams and tests quickly and safely. Normally, my cats are very difficult to manage because they are scared of the vet, but Dr. Tullar was amazing at keeping them calm and getting her work done before the animals had time to freak out! She also did a great job of explaining to me in simple terms everything she was doing and everything she found out about my pets. I’ll be taking all my pets back to this clinic as long as I live in the area.

Absolutely fantastic staff at Bradford! The nurses have done a fantastic job handling my bun, Dudley. Even though he is typically a little stinker when held, they manage to keep him calm and hold him without panicking him. They genuinely seem to enjoy meeting your pets and enjoy handling them, which was so awesome to see! I have been so hesitant to bring a bun to the vet after I lost one due to a botched surgery at a different vet. Dr. Tullar has been amazing putting my mind at ease and has proved many times to have the knowledge required to take care of rabbits and do surgery on them. She is very thorough and answers all my questions and concerns, and I trust her wholeheartedly with my buns' lives! She also stays very current on bunny news and diseases such as RHDV2, and will be the one to vaccinate my buns when the time comes. The office even called after our appointment to see how Dudley was doing and if he was eating okay because they know he typically gets stressed after appointments! This is the only vet he has been to where he doesn't have appetite troubles after going for his check-ups. They have also been so understanding with appointment timing, my partner was laid off and had to get a different job with different hours, so we had to reschedule twice, and they have been so kind about that. Thank you so much, Bradford, you have all been so great! 💕
