How to Save Money at Camden 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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.

She's not the winning lotto ticket, but she's a great prize. This feline slid into my yard a year ago and never left. She recently birth kittens, but I'm not ready to become grandmother again. That's why my sweet friend got spayed by the Camden Animal Hospital. I accepted the option to leave her the prior day, but upon arrival, the lady asked, "can-I-help-you???" I explained I was there for an appointment... I was given updates after surgery. Prices also discussed. Now, she's back to jumping, eating, and living a life of luxury.

My dog was very sick when I took him in to the animal clinic I thought he was going to die! I left him there in the hands of the clinic, praying that Scooby would be ok. They kept me well informed especially Rob. He stayed overnight, he made it through the night without any diarrhea or vomiting. He had Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis along with dehydration. He’s on a bland diet getting his strength back he’s doing great! Thanks so much for saving my Scooby, job well done. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone who has a sick animal!

My husband & I have just moved here & was hoping 4 an awesome vet. I have used the same one 4 almost 30 years and so it's tough finding & getting new people that you like, are easy 2 get to know & talk with, so that you feel comfortable putting them in charge of different things in ur life, such as a new doctor. The same goes 4 your fur babies. U want 2 know that you have chosen the best of the best 2 take care of your little ones. I Met & visited with the Vet here at Camden Vet. & she was awesome with both my cats and my dog. They are handfuls at times, and they made them feel a lot more comfortable and calm. I think I doing my new vet! Thanks guys 4 taking your time with my babies and being so informative on their health.

Rugar loves coming to Camden Animal Hospital! They take such good care of him. Without his shots and check ups he wouldn’t be as healthy as he is.

Overall I was impressed! The gentleman at the front desk was friendly and accommodating. The tech had her nails clipped while we waited. The Vet was friendly and thorough. My animals got better care here than they did at their last office where we lived before. Thank you for giving good care!
