How to Save Money at Companion 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.
Reviews from Google
If you’re looking for a vet that cares about your pets and does things because they’re the right thing to do, not the most profitable, this is the place. I switched to Companion and vet Dr. Felton after leaving a different place that didn’t feel right. From the first day, Dr. Felton fixed 2 issues that the previous vet struggled with and found/fixed another issue that I didn’t know was causing a rash on my puppy. This was all on 1 dog, the first time she met him! I barely ever write reviews but this place is worth it. My 3 dogs are the most important things in my life, and trust them with Dr. Felton and Companion.

We have been taking our dogs to Companion Animal Hospital for more than 6 years. Saturday our 16 year old toy poodle was attacked by two dogs. I tried calling but got voicemail and no return call. Because it was an emergency we drove right over with a dog in a bloody towel. They wouldn’t even look at her. They sent us away. I called Insight and they said that we could come there but there was a 4-5 hour wait. The minute they saw her they treated her bites and fractured ribs immediately. My own vet of 6 + years wouldn’t even take the time to look at her. We aren’t sure of her recovery but I can guarantee you that we will never use Companion again. Clearly they don’t care.

This is my favorite veterinarian. they've helped me with so many of my dogs and cats. The staff is so professional and friendly. And the doctors are very good at explaining what they feel is necessary. Their costs are reasonable.

Very personable. They were loving to my kitty flash. (She was terrified) Vet tech is nice, friendly and not in a hurry to get you out. Vet was super friendly and knowledgeable. Wanted to make sure I understood everything. Not my first time in, but been a while due to the quarantine. Walked out with a very reasonable bill.

We have been going to Companion Animal Hospital for almost 15 years. Dr. Felton is a very gifted veterinarian who has always had a very special relationship with our dogs. Today, one of our dogs injured her leg. They cared enough to adjust their schedules on a Saturday to see our dog Olive. Today, we saw Dr. Yu and were equally impressed with her. They take the time to review their charts and talk to humans to develop an intelligent, well thought out course of treatment. I would never take my pets anywhere else(unless they were closed)
