How to Save Money at Four Paws Veterinary Clinic, SC
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.

Four Paws has been our vet for years! We are so happy with the services and care that has been provided to us. The greeting we get when we go in for our appointments is always warm and welcoming from all the staff and they seem to really know and care about our pet(s). We were also fortunate to meet our amazing trainer, Amanda P, there. Amanda has amazing talent for working with/training our dog! She is extremely knowledgeable about our pup and identified her behaviors and the best way to train her. Our dog also trusts and listens to Amanda which truly aided in her training (and impressive as our dog does not trust easily). As an overprotective dog mom, I also completely trust Amanda (which also doesn't happen easily when it comes to my fur child). Amanda puts her whole heart into training and I'm so impressed with her knowledge, patience and training abilities as I've seen our pup and our family make huge progress from working with Amanda!!

inquired about the flu shot for my dog and was told that they don't have it and will not get it in because of the cost! its too expensive for them! So, basically instead of selling it to their customers (the cost of doing business) they have decided not to carry it! I called several other clinics in the area and they all give the shots on a regular basis......$35.00 per shot with another booster of $35.00... Is this too expensive to prevent your pet from getting the flu? A highly contagious disease? They are deciding for me that its too expensive? The manager actually asked me if I would like to pay for their tray of vaccines for the clinic! Lastly.....their attitudes are just rude, from the receptionist to the staff, which I've seen many times. My records are being sent to another clinic that does have the meds!

My dog is always excited to go to Doggy Daycare. The staff always takes good care of her when it comes to vet visits, grooming and answering all of my questions.

my cat went missing for over a week, we called and asked them if any cats came in and at the time none had. they offered to call us back if any came in matching his description. about a week after we called they called us telling us one had come in. it was in fact our cat. they were very friendly, gave him food and let us borrow a cat carrier to get him home. he is now home safe and happy.

I took my pup Chase (German Shorthaired Pointer) in for a neuter and Amanda was working with my pup Sunny (lab). My two boys were having trouble getting along. Amanda explained to me thier behavior and how to read both my pups and how to correct it so we can all live in a peaceful home! She is very knowledgeable and great with animals. I recommend Four Paws and Amanda for your pups vet needs!
