How to Save Money at Beach City 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.

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.

I do not write reviews. But I had to tell as many people as possible about this clinic. Doctor Bushai and all the staff (especially his assistant) I worked with were wonderfully kind and caring. He was very knowledgeable and listened to my concerns and gave me meds that actually helped my little guy. He also gave me a recommendation on how to get my dog some help with his anxiety & barking. He was a very compassionate doctor. I followed up the next day because Bentley was sleeping a lot & not eating and Dr MikHail called me back & was so kind & reassuring. Told me what he thought was going on & if things didn't change to call right away & he'd figure out next steps. Sure enough he was right & Bentley was fine. They definitely care more about my dog than they do their pocketbooks too. You are only as good as your staff. The staff is a reflection of the doctors. Their prices are exceptionally reasonable especially for the care and time they took to help us. I traveled 45 min to see them and it's the only place I will take Bentley in the future. Thank you Beach City Animal Hospital!

I've owned 3 dogs in my lifetime and I've never seen a better veterinary clinic than Beach City. I had a 12 year old bulldog that was near her time. I had just moved to HB and tried Beach City for the first time. When I made the decision to euthanize my loved one, the doctor was extremely professional, understanding, and sympathetic. The staff accommodated an appointment the same day when they were busy. They gave me as much time as I needed to be with my family member for the last time. I trusted the reviews online and they lived up to expectation. Hopefully their standards never change but, I can only comment on my personal experience. I hope people trust them and I hope they maintain a high level of care. Thank you.

Polite Professional staff and Doctors. Had 2 surgical procedures done here on my older mini-pin . Eye removal and later breast lumps and uteran cancer removal. Great results both times, the eye removal price was 1 third the price an eye specialist was charging. The other surgery was unlike anything I had ever experienced. They told us the cost would be between 2100 and 2500 but because the surgery went so smoothly and our dog was recovering faster than normal we could pick her up early, and the cost would be reduced to 1500. NOT EXPECTED . I waited a couple months to write this review, I wanted to see the results.. my 15 year old min-pin thinks she's a puppy again. Much love for this place ❤.

I woke up at 5am to my cat not peeing and just looking utterly miserable. I was deathly terrified that he was experiencing an urinary obstruction and went into panic mode. I called them once they opened, and initially they told me they do not take walk-ins but they'll see if they can squeeze me in. Thankfully, they were able to get me in immediately. It was such an amazing experience and you can tell everyone there genuinely cares about your pet. The doctor was awesome and super gentle with my cat. The front end staff were polite, sympathetic, and just a joy to talk to. It was reasonably priced, especially for the possible inconvenience I caused them for barging in on them first thing in the morning. Fingers crossed I'll never have to visit again, but if I am in need of vet services, I will definitely be coming back!
