How to Save Money at Dr. Remund DVM

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.

Dr. is very good with your exotic pets. Knowledge and treatment is tops. Very reasonable cost, and does not try to fix what isn't broken.

Dr. Remind and his staff have taken good care of my pets for about 8 years now. They have squeezed me in when I needed to be seen in a rush, come in early to do emergency appointments and saved my kitties life a few weeks ago. They have always been honest and fair with me and that includes their pricing.

I had a hard time finding a vet that I could afford yet gave excellent care to my dog. Dr. Remund is a very good vet and his office visit prices are very reasonable. I will not and have not hesitate to recommend him to anyone that has a pet needing veterinary care.

Doc Robert Remund has been my family's vet all my life. When I needed emergency service for my dog on the weekend, the 24 hour emergency service phone number is his direct line and he was able to meet me at the clinic immediately. Bob and his staff are very caring and compassionate towards my pets and myself. Expect to pay about an additional $125 for an after hours visit, a small price to pay for such prompt care when you need it the most. If needed, payment arrangements can be made as well. I can't thank Fords Prairie animal clinic enough for the services they have provided to me over the years. God Bless.

These guys are so great! We had an older dog with age issues. Dr. Always gave us all the options for her problems. But was honest n never tried to upsale anything. Very real about the procedure we could do but explained that at her age that it's really not worth it. When we finally decided it was time to end her suffering, these people were so kind n wonderful. Took care of everything. Walked us through the whole process before hand n even set up the cremation for us. Absolutely would recommend them to anyone with furbababies
