Veterinary care is one of the inevitable expenses that comes along with pet ownership, but not one many consider when bringing a new pet into their family. It is always advisable to get a post-purchase exam soon after welcoming your new pet into your home. A thorough physical exam and fecal analysis should be performed to ensure your pet didn’t come to you with any unwanted hitchhikers in their digestive tract. Parasites are common in reptiles but can also take their toll on exotic mammals and birds. Waiting until your pet shows symptoms can compromise their health and make it more difficult for them to thrive in your care.
Our VetCare Packages give a lot of bang for your buck. Specially designed to include all the services you need to get your new addition off on the right foot, these packages offer huge savings on all the basic necessities.
It may sound counterintuitive, but keeping your pet up-to-date on twice-yearly examinations and recommended bloodwork and diagnostics can save you a lot of money in the long run, as well as give your pet a longer, happier life. Keeping tabs on your pet’s health, internal and external, is crucial. So much can change in 6 months, and most conditions are both far less costly to treat and respond better to treatment when caught and addressed early, rather than waiting for physical symptoms to manifest or worsen.
We work hard to help you take the best care of your pet by offering discounts for bloodwork performed at scheduled annual and 6-month wellness exams, as well as special pricing for scheduled annual and 6-month wellness sedation, anesthesia, ultrasound, and radiographs. It is important to monitor blood values so that we can intervene early to correct any underlying conditions, rather than waiting for symptoms to visibly affect your pet. As our pets age, radiographs and other imaging services are recommended to establish a baseline and monitor any change in the appearance of internal organs and structures. These services done as part of your pet’s wellness exam can save you hundreds of dollars as opposed to being done as part of a sick pet visit, as there is less risk for the pet and we have built in savings to enable you to provide the highest quality care without the high cost.
Saving on supplies and medications is easy at our Online Pharmacy. Many of the medications we prescribe can be ordered for home delivery at a lower cost than we can ship them to you. Some medications are specially compounded in-house and can’t be ordered online, but it’s worth taking a peek. There are many products, treats, toys, and things we don’t stock in our clinic available at or below MSRP. All manufacturer’s discounts and offers are automatically applied to qualifying orders, so it’s easy to save.
Pet Insurance is another option to consider. While it doesn’t pay the bill for you, it will reimburse you a portion of the cost of many services, from standard wellness care to spay and neuter to surgery and urgent care.
When you are faced with a sudden illness or injury in your pet, it is a relief not to have to stress over how you will cover the expense. Here are a few options to consider so you’re never caught unprepared.
A pet savings account is a great way to prepare for an emergency, as long as you don’t dip into it for other purposes and continue to contribute to it. It does require a level of discipline to save the funds for a rainy day.
Payment plans are also available, and it’s good to be familiar with them so you are ready to utilize them in your time of need.
For services exceeding $200, 6 months interest-free financing is available through CareCredit. CareCredit understands that with exotic pets time is of the essence. Your application will take less than 5 minutes to be processed and your account can be used immediately after approval.
