You’ve always managed to give your dog the medical care they deserve. However, because of unexpected circumstances, you’re faced with vet expenses that are no longer affordable. There are plenty of ways to reduce or manage medical costs. Try these tips Negotiate a payment plan with your vet If you`re a client in good standing, your local veterinarian may be happy to work out a weekly or monthly payment plan so you don`t have to pay the entire cost up front. Consider VetPay If you are struggling financially, VetPay can offer payment solutions. FIND OUT MORE Seek a second opinion Seek out a second opinion from another vet. They may offer services for less or even suggest an alternative approach. Consider generic brand medication Pharmacies, and even supermarkets, sometimes have the same pet medication as vets and often at a fraction of the price. Alternatively, ask if there is a generic version of the medication available. Purchase pet insurance While insurance may not help in the current crisis, you should consider purchasing pet health insurance for future medical needs as it can help minimise vet and hospital costs.
