How to Save Money at Hockett Sherrie 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.

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.

Very caring. Excellent care given to my Mom's little dog that was bitten by a Great Dane. They were supportive to my Mom. Our little Peter B is now on the mend. They did excellent work on his wounds. He still is in the recovery process and I am very appreciative of all their great work!

I am here to say I am very thankful for the vet that helped me and my guy take care of our cat . She was so sick that they told me no matter how much money I had it still could not save her. They were ever good in letting me be with her until she was gone. I want every one to know they took great care in making me and my cat feel the love they have for all. Thanks again to the doctor and staff. I will now be bringing all my other animals there.

The vet was fantastic. The only other person there that was obviously aware of her surroundings was a young lady named Ashley. She was super sweet and super professional. Before, I get into the next part, I will say that I’m not proud of how I handled the situation, but there’s only so much rudeness a person can take before they give it right back. The receptionist, Sarah was incredibly unprofessional. I do not care if you’re having a bad day, you’re stressed, or your boyfriend broke up with you, you do not direct your disgusting attitude or stress towards your patrons. I appreciate that you were trying to help me out by telling me about the big dogs inside. The way this woman proceeding to tell me “how she was gonna need to me to go right back to my car, and wait for a carrier” even giving me a roundabout with her finger in the most repugnant, and pointed tone of voice was a big no, no. There’s nothing wrong with the what you were telling me, it’s the delivery that really bugged me. The last straw was when I went up to the desk, while she was on the phone to ask her a question, and she scoffed as she told the person on the other line that she had to call them back, her face reeked of annoyance. That clearly was a personal phone call, because if it wasn’t, I doubt that’s the way you would be talking to a patron, or at least I would hope not, then again, this receptionist does not know how to mind her p’s and q’s. She even went on to telling me that she should’ve just let my cat get killed. In front of the owner: Sherrie Hockett, who seemed unfazed by her behavior, dismissive of any of my grievances, and slightly rude herself. Telling me that her job is stressful doesn’t not excuse her behavior. I’m stressed too, honey. Everybody is stressed. She has no right to speak to people the way she did, and I was told that I’m not the only person that has had an issue with this woman’s attitude. I thought I was going crazy. Everyone that works there with the exception of one person are all permanent residents of the twilight zone. Honestly, if my spouse and I weren’t in desperate need of what we needed, and had more time to get it, we would’ve gone somewhere else. Again, the vet, Doctor Brandon DeVries was nice, professional and competent, but my over all experience in that clinic was just dreadful.
