How to Save Money at Dermatology Clinic for Animals

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.

It did take three months for an appt, but it was well worth the wait. My basset hound has suffered from severe food and environmental allergies, and chronic ear infections her entire life. She is 5.5 yrs old now, and she is finally on her way to feeling better. After the initial 2.5 hour appt, Dr. Tulloss immediately started Charolette on a treatment plan. I was able to order most of the items off of Chewy, which did save money. As the different test results came in, Charolette's treatment plan was revised. Dr. Tulloss, her associate, Dr. Wyatt, the techs, and the office staff are amazing. I receive t/cs, texts, and emails from them whenever needed. They answer my questions and have continuously taken the time to explain things to me so I understand what is going on every step of the way. The office even called to check on Charolette right after she started her new meds. Charolette is only a few weeks in, and I can already see a huge improvement in her skin and smell. We are still working on the chronic ear infection, but I do believe in time and with the help of this clinic that will be infection free. This process is costly, but it has not been as costly as I would have anticipated, and with off-setting the prescriptions and other needed items through Chewy or Costco that has helped. Overall, it has been worth the wait and every penny spent to see Charolette looking and feeling better. I wish I would have pursued this option years ago. I would recommend this clinic to anyone who is needed that extra help for their animal. Charolette had exhausted everything her veterinarian could do for her ear infections and allergies. I am thankful that we are on the right track now.

Everyone at the clinic was helpful and informative. Hopefully they’ll figure out what is causing our sweet Louie’s skin problems.

We LOVE Dr. Coyner!! Before finding Dr. Coyner, my doberman Louis had been experiencing flare ups of rash, inflammation, and hives all over his body. These flare ups were worsening and started to affect his mood and activity level as well as his appearance. My regular vet tried all sorts of things--diet change, pills, shots. Nothing worked. Dr. Coyner worked a miracle. Her thorough diagnostic process and multi-factor treatment process turned things completely around for Louis. He is 95% improved under Dr. Coyner's treatment protocol. Louis is back to his old self and I couldn't be happier. If your pet is suffering from persistent, serious skin conditions or allergies, don't wait--contact Dr. Coyner and get your best friend back. **As a side note, Louis is typically very shy around strangers, due to a traumatic puppyhood with some pretty bad people in his former life. But he likes Dr. Coyner and will stand for examination by her, something we are still working on acing with out normal vet. Dr. Coyner was quite compassionate and gentle and they were willing to accommodate Louis's special needs**

There's nothing more heart-breaking and defeating as a pet parent than when you furry friend is sick and you've done everything you know to do without success. That's where we were before we came to the Dermatology Clinic for Animals. Gunner, our chiweenie, has a very hard to treat autoimmune skin condition. The doctors and staff have been incredibly kind and helpful and we're on the road to recovery for him. I appreciate that there's a plan and support for every step and can unreservedly recommend them. We're really lucky to be under their care.
