How to Save Money at Paramount 24 Hour Animal Hospital

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.

Having a sick pet is an incredibly stressful and emotional experience. The staff at Paramount were very compassionate and helpful in navigating our cat Evey’s illness. We really appreciated the daily updates from the doctors when Evey was hospitalized, we always felt like she was in good hands. The doctors were helpful in answering our many, many questions and we never felt rushed during our appointments. We were in and out of Paramount for 3 weeks and spent many hours in the waiting room so we appreciated how clean and modern the facility was. Towards the end of our journey we knew Evey was terminal but making the decision on when to let her go was SO difficult. When her health started to decline we returned to Paramount for a final visit and the doctor was helpful in advising us of our options and agreed that sending Evey to heaven was the best choice. I’ll miss my sweet angel forever but it does give me some comfort knowing that we did everything we could to save Evey in what we felt was a top tier facility. We received a very thoughtful sympathy card in the mail today, thank you for everything Paramount 🤍

Despite having to come here under unfortunate circumstances and leaving with an empty carrier, the staff was incredibly helpful and supportive during such a difficult time. It can be very hard to find a vet that will accept chinchillas in an emergency situation, and of all the vet hospitals we called at 12am (I think we called all of them), Paramount was the only vet that would accept us. Dr. Chappell was very informative, and supportive of us in making such a difficult decision, which I am very grateful for. Despite how inconsolable I was, everyone was so kind, patient, compassionate, and did not make me feel bad for how I was reacting in such a highly emotional situation. It was also very touching to receive a card signed by all the staff. Thank you for all that you were able to do for us that night❤️ On a more positive note, over the summer I also dropped off a stray kitten that I found outside, and the staff was very kind and was able to take the little guy in and keep him warm and fed before sending him off to the SPCA to be put up for adoption. Thank you for everything you do for these animals, even when it is not an ideal situation.

Another amazing visit to Paramount, The staff are always so caring and attentive, and treat my pup with so much care and love. Our dog had an injury swimming, and ended up having to get a couple of staples from a puncture wound. With our dog already in pain and under stress, they calmed her down and we were able to get everything done quick and painlessly. Don’t know what we would do without the entire staff at Paramount! Photo of the injury and photo of her relaxing after.

The front staff is so welcoming! Dr Heather and Katie took wonderful care of our cat when we walked in Saturday morning with a goopy eye. Sitting waiting our turn the staff welcomed everyone with friendly greetings. Listen attentively to their pet concerns. With a GP practise and ER practise now all pet care can be done with one great group of pet practitioners. Thanks for taking care of Eddys eye this morning.

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, it's just a way to make you more anxious when there's an emergency. All the 5 stars are fake. When we arrived at the hospital, we were separated from our cat immediately. The cat was taken away without any update for almost two hours. They have a chart with three levels of urgency, but they didn't tell us what level our cat was in, so even if they wouldn't let us see him, they could have at least told us he’s urgency level, so we could know he is getting help now, or he is still waiting because his situation is not too bad. Also if the pets are waiting it will probably be better to wait together with their owners so both can feel less stress. I went to the front desk twice, and they just told me to wait, but they didn't give us any information, which made me even more anxious. There was even a period when no one was at the front desk and no one answered the emergency call. Finally, I got a little angry and asked what was going on we my cat, and they said friar that the tests were all done, and he was stable. But then, they said they still need to keep the cat under observation because the doctors haven't done any tests and they don't know anything. Anyway, what they are saying doesn’t make any sense. Lying and trying to fool you, then when I said I wanted to take the cat out now they threatened me and said the doctor didn't recommend it. (YOU JUST SAID THE DOCTOR DID NOT TAKE A LOOK so how can the doctor recommend anything) Lastly, the whole place feels uncomfortable, it’s too “rich” and big for a pet hospital. Like if they have already scammed a lot of people’s money to make it look luxurious. DO NOT COME HERE
