How to Save Money at VCA Lacey Animal 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.

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.

My daughter lost her dog. Her everything, and when it happened, we rushed her little girl Lady straight there. She was DOA, we were told. We went over the procedures of cremation and things she would like added on, nose print, paw print, hair. The girl didn't write any of this down. I had to go find someone cause they left us in the room. Anyway, long story short, when we went back to pay. They did NOT have any prints or hair because she never wrote that important information down. And she explicitly said she wanted us to think about things we would like so she could write it down. Needless to say, my daughter's heart was broke again. Because these were important. And they brushed it off like whatever. This is the same emergency hospital that wouldn't even take my Jellybean when she was brutally attacked by an aggressive pit bull. How they nonchalantly pretend to care, but pretending is what they are good at because in the end this memories my daughter can't get back.

Dr. Renee has been one of the most compassionate vet we have known. We trust her judgement and skill with our pets. Period.

Dr. Brett Bower and her staff are phenomenal. Truly miracle workers with my pets’ special needs. They are honest, kind, and will work with you to form the best plan of care for your animals. I feel so grateful to find a caring and wonderful veterinarian office that I can trust with my most precious possession, my fur babies. I was new to the area and wanted to establish care for my dogs right away. I had to wait a month+ to get in, but believe me, it was worth the wait. Thank you, all again. Your professionalism combined with the upmost hands on care does not go unnoticed!
