How to Save Money at The Stock Doc

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.

Mommy had to bring me to the Stock Doc when I ate something that made me very, very sick! Mommy was pretty scared that I wasn't going to make it much longer and I know I'm her most favorite baby, so it scared me also!! They didn't know us at The Stock Doc since we have a different Vet, but mommy said they treated us like VIP's. That must be a good thing because they really took great care of me and even got mom to calm down and not be so scared!! I was feeling so bad, worse than I ever felt, but was very brave when mommy left me with them. They were all so kind and attentive, even when I made a big mess, they didn't even get mad! They gave me x-rays and took blood and even gave me IV meds, which was a bit scary at first, but it seemed to make me feel so much better. Mom came back for me the same day and I was so happy to see her. Then, the Dr. Spent a lot of time with her telling her about the med's I needed. I really just wanted go outside and pee on that bush I see out the window! The worst part of my visit was when the Vet taught my mom how to put a pill way back in my throat so I would swallow it!!! Those taste bitter and I really hate that but mommy says it's important so I don't get that sick again. It's been almost 2 days since I met the really sweet receptionist at the Stock Doc, mom says she is the kind and professional lady who went out of her way to work us into the schedule so the Vet could save my life. I still remember all the pretty girls who work there and gave me lots of pets and cuddles. They must really love cute dogs there, so glad mommy took me because I feel almost new again! That's how I know they really know their stuff!! Mommy said it's important to leave a good review, because they treated her as nice as they treated me, (except she didn't get all the pets and cuddles). Thank you, Staff at Stock Doc for making me well and making my mom feel all better, too!! Your cute dog friend, Biker Dude

This is the best vet I have ever taken my pets to. I've taken all my cats and even had to put my baby down earlier this year. It was so heart breaking but they were there for me every step of the way! If you want a vet who cares for your pets/animals/live stock/or fur babies then the stock doc !

All I can say is WOW! The compassion these people have is absolutely amazing. My dog was very sick, Dr Caitlyn was very open and honest with the diagnosis and options, and answered all my questions. Unfortunately my sweet boy had to cross the rainbow bridge, but they gave me as much time as I needed to spend with him that day I wasn't rushed or hurried into a very hard decision Dr Caitlyn and the tech that stayed overnight with him (Julia?) and the entire staff were so very good to us and my sweet boy 🐾❤️. Thank you so much for all you did!!

They have the amazing ability to wrestle my 165 lb Saint to give him his vaccinations. 😊 We have been taking all of our doggies to the Stock Doc for over 15 years. We are always met with kindness, sympathy, and professionalism. They truly care for your pets. I wouldn't take my dog anywhere else!
