How to Save Money at Princevalle Pet Hospital, Inc.

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.

The very first time I took my dog here. She had a really bad skin condition way back around 2010. I remember having my dog consistently checked and tested and lagged the process. But as soon as I took her to a different vet they were able to figure out what she had right away and gave us the right medication that healed her right away. They saved me money and my dog's health with urgent care but they also saved me time from unnecessary testing from this place. Fast foreword to now, I had to urgently see the vet for my dog's teeth and health. This was the last place I wanted to go because of my experience with their neglagence and lagging but they were the only ones who were taking in appointments at the time. They recommended to remove all her teeth a month from now. The vet did not check for any possible underlying conditions. She only left me in the dark with my concern that my poor girl hasn't been eating and only said she may have an underlying issue and left me in the waiting room without actually trying to check what my dog could have had or even gave me any solution for the time being. It's very upsetting because I ended up taking her to an emergency vet just a couple days later since her condition was not getting any better and they were able to figure out her underlying condition and help her right away but the hospital is urging me to get her teeth removed sooner rather than a month from now. It's very disappointing that the vets here do not do their best to resolve my dog's health even when they suspect something. Instead they basically walked away with my money to set up an appointment to get more money in an untimely manner

Princevalle has some of the most kind and compassionate staff I've ever found. Their rates are reasonable and your pet receives quality care. Dr. Fitzgerald is beyond wonderful with my dog, who's certainly not the easiest patient one could have, and every vet tech I've interacted with has had the same level of care.

We have been bringing our dogs here for over 15 years. We have lost some from old age and its some of the hardest times to go through. They were so patient with us and let us take our time to say goodbye. We have always felt that they truly do care for our little family members and we appreciate it.

Update: I saw some of the negative reviews and I had to share this recent experience. Recently I messed up my appointment time and on top of that was late. When they called because I was over 30 minutes late I thought for sure they would make me reschedule. I was put on hold while she checked with the Dr. and when she came back she said they would figure something out by the time I arrived. I was worried the Dr. would be in a hurry and not spend much time with me or be angry I was late. Just the opposite happened. She listened to me and humored my paranoid put owner worries. I was so grateful! When the vet said my cat was overweight (She is 100% correct on that.) the vet tech whispered in my cat's ear, "Don't listen to them, you're beautiful." How can you not love these people??? I am not saying these other experiences didn't happen only that in my 20 plus years of coming here my animals have always received excellent care. ********************* I love this place! They take excellent care of my cat. You can also tell that they truly care about the animals and the owners. When my dog had to be put to sleep they helped me carry her in and the tech gave me a hug when I started crying. The people here really care :)
