How to Save Money at Dermatology for Animals - Liberty Lake
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 husband and I have had dogs all of our lives. Never before have we received such professional care as what we are now receiving from Dr. Selene Jones and her technician Katie. What makes them so special is how they work together as a team. At every appointment with Dr. Jones & Katie, we feel truly "heard" and cared for. First, Katie meets with us and our dog Ian. Katie, an excellent listener and exceptionally fast typist, captures our comments, questions and concerns as she maintains eye contact with both of us. Once Dr. Jones joins and greets us, Katie states a very clear, concise and thorough summary for all to hear. Dr. Jones is extremely competent, confident, informative and respectful. She does not rush through the appointment. Her soft voice, well thought out responses and gentle handling of Ian during his examination is very calming to all of us. Before she leaves the room, Dr. Jones ensures that she has addressed all of our questions and concerns. At the conclusion of each appointment, Katie provides us with clearly written "Discharge Instructions for Ian". In addition, between appointments, Katie is extremely responsive in answering our calls and providing any updates. Our deepest thanks to Dr. Jones & Katie for providing such professional care to our dog Ian. When Ian is happy, I am happy. When I am happy, my husband is happy. Life is good!

Thank you Dr. Jones and her staff for helping us to figure out what our dog Annie Oakley is allergic too. You all were so nice to us, Annie Oakley, Chewbacca and Max when we were there last week!

We have been struggling for a few years now with dermatological issues with our pup. Our general vet has not had solutions; just throwing random treatments. Called this place as a new vet office and they were able to get us immediately in due to a cancelation. We now have answers. Lots to tests before a diagnosis. Was it expensive? Yes but I would rather spend the money to know the issue and that it than the same amount of money spent over a longer period while your pup suffers through the process. So thankful they are here!!!!

Dr. Miller is kind, compassionate and an excellent diagnostician. She has helped both of my dogs! Both with itchy skin one with ear infections! Her and her staff are incredible! We are so lucky to have them in our community! Such a great resource!

My cat has been seeing Dr. Miller for about 2 years now. She has lots of ear issues. Dr. Miller has been amazing. She’s thorough, and spends time listening to concerns. Her staff is amazing as well. Can’t say enough positive things about all of them. I highly recommend Dr. Miller and Dermatology for Animals!
