How to Save Money at Acacia 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.

I love Dr. Wilson and her staff! I chose this animal hospital on a random whim from a list of complimentary vet visits post-adoption from PACC and I made a great choice. The office is on-call for pet questions and well-educated in their respective field. They are so loving towards my animals and patient with anxious pet owners. Request Dr. Wilson for your kitty!

Before I moved to MD in 2021, I had Acacia as my pets' vet. Now that we are back in Tucson, I am so happy I stuck with them. I had mainly made a wellness appointment for my dog since he was already established there but I found the experience to be great and I'm grateful we returned. Dr. Wilson and Sarah were so kind and it was easy to talk to them about my concerns without making me feel doubtful of my skills as a pet parent. Harrison was also kind at the front desk and the check-in/check-out process was fast and easy. They were also communicative and updated me when I had to wait in the room. I had a previous experience where I was waiting in a room for an hour without anyone coming in to talk to me. I loved that they came in, even just to say that they were just waiting on a test. My pup was well taken care of and had a lot of treats, courtesy of Acacia. I feel confident and secure about his health. Acacia is a bit of a drive for me now but it's worth it!

I have taken my cat to Acacia for two years and I’m auger pleased with everyone I’ve met there. My cat can be skittish and nervous around new people, but each staff member has been calm and kind with her to the point where she starts to purr during the exam! They are thorough and knowledgeable, honest about treatment and prices, willing to answer whatever I needed to know, and I would recommend Acacia to anyone looking for a reliable and personable vet.

Every experience I have had at Acacia has been absolutely amazing! They are affordable, clean, caring, and scheduling is a breeze. I have a fearful and sometimes reactive rescue dog as well as a happy, easy going dog who loves going to the vet and they are very accommodating and thoughtful about each of them. By calling ahead I was able to enter the office calmly during a quiet period and go straight in to a room to avoid any commotion in the lobby that my nervous dog generally struggles with. The team members ask questions about my dogs history and genuinely care about how they are doing - I have already received follow up calls/emails checking in on them! The staff is patient and understanding of both my dogs needs and did not rush their care. Dr. Hendel was especially amazing and did not push either of my dogs boundaries and had a very calm and compassionate approach that made their experience a positive one. The vet techs and front desk staff are just as friendly and pricing is very reasonable. I’ve been to other vet hospitals around town and this is by far the best experience my pups and I have had.. won’t be taking them anywhere else now! Big thank you from Nero and Beo
