In the veterinary industry,\nwe are no different. You can choose to bring your business to a locally owned\nveterinary clinic or a large corporately owned clinic. You can choose to\npurchase product or medication from a local clinic or an online source\nthousands of miles away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>We\nWork Hard for Your Business<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Locally owned veterinary clinics know that it is not just\nenough to be \u201clocal.\u201d We need to earn your business as well. That means\nproviding personalized top-of-the-line care and customer service. Our employees\nwork hard to answer calls, emails, texts, social media comments and make your\nin-clinic experience a positive one. We are here to help you and your pet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Locally\nOwned vs. Corporately Owned Clinics<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A clinic that is locally owned will turn the profits\naround to improve the clinic and your medical options, provide better pay to\nemployees that live in the community, and support other local events such as\nfundraisers and charities. This is a win-win situation for the community. Corporately\nowned practices are less likely to support their local communities in these\nways. If you don\u2019t know who owns the clinic you go to, you should ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Local Products Because We Know the Local\nNeeds<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Locally\nowned veterinary clinics carry medication and products such as heartworm as\nwell as flea and tick prevention that are best for their clients because they\nknow and live in the local area. When buying medications directly from your\nveterinary clinic you receive individualized medical expertise, full\nmanufacturer guarantees, money saving rebates and competitive prices. We care\nabout the health of your pet and go the extra mile to help you. Where else can\nyou call and talk to a live person if your pet vomited their flea and tick\nmedication, as well as find out if and how it should be re-dosed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Local\nCan Be Convenient and Less Risk<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>On-line purchasing is a big convenience. Most local\nveterinary clinics have an on-line store with products that come straight from\ntheir trusted distributers for your convenience. There are many coupons and\nsavings opportunities when you buy through the local veterinary clinic online\nstore. For example, you can have Hill\u2019s pet food shipped to you for free\nthrough Hill\u2019s to Home at ZimmVet. Sign up for the auto ship and receive additional\nsavings. There are many online pharmacies out their willing to sell you low\ncost pet medication. One of the biggest online pet medication stores has\nmultiple lawsuits against them for selling pet medications illegally, selling\nnon-FDA approved medications, and dispensing medications without prescriptions.\nWould you trust your pet\u2019s health to an unethical company like this? Be sure to\ngoogle search lawsuits and ethical practices about online suppliers before you\npurchase online pet medications.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Thank\nYou for Supporting Local<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>For almost 30 years, ZimmVet has been serving the greater\nZimmerman Community.&nbsp; In the last 10\nyears, we have continued to invest to help our community have the best medical\ncare for pets.&nbsp; Come see our\nstate-of-the-art facility one mile south of Zimmerman on Highway 169.&nbsp; Come meet the more than 30 dedicated people\nwho have local jobs.&nbsp; Every day we choose\nhow and where we spend our money.
