How to Save Money at Taikoo Animal Clinic
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.

My poor cat Jiji had some bad constipation for 2 days until I called Taikoo Animal Clinic. The staff was very accommodating and fit us in the next day. It was fortunately a half day admission and he slowly got back to his energetic self. The staff and Dr. Hsu are very professional and friendly. I had a very good experience with the clinic and would come again if needed!

We’ve been to this clinic for more than 10 years. They provide the best service. Dr. Hsu, Dr. Kuan, Dr. Chiu, and all the assistances are very patient, professional and experienced. All of our pets were given detailed care. They tried their best to keep the well-being of pets. The dogs were always happy to be here and refused to leave. Both of them tried acupuncture and it helped their arthritis a lot. The cats were furious thou.

We had the pleasure of having Dr. Hsu for our wellness appointment. She was thorough, kind, and easy to work with. Dr. Hsu and her team were very open about their pet health and preventative care recommendations. Their suggestions were valued and considerate of our situation. I won't hesitate to continue to take my current and future pets to the Taikoo Animal clinic with Dr. Hsu and her team.
