How to Save Money at Healthy Pets Veterinary 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.

Love! Love! Love! Love! Love! They take the BEST care of our 2 Goldens. Dr. Adam is beyond exceptional, and we could not be happier with the care our 2 girls get coming here!!!

Dr. Adam is the owner of Healthy Pets. Doctor Adam is like a Scientist. This good review is only for Doctor Adam. My dog (pomeranian) had a stroke. After 5 days in the ER, the Emergency Room took $10,000 from me. After I paid they decided to tell me "Oh, by the way, your dog is paralyzed and you should euthanize him". Well, I didn't kill my dog, instead I took him to Doctor Adam to rehabilitate him. Doctor Adam had my beloved dog walking in 3 months. He also fixed my dog's vertigo, controlled and balanced his diabetes and cured my other dog (pug) of cancer. He also applied cold laser treatment on the pug's back to alleviate her herniated disk (it worked). All treatments are Western and Eastern medicine combined. I HIGHLY RESPECT Doctor Adam. Doctor Adam is truly a GENIUS. I have learned so much from him and he has changed me and made me a better, respectful person and a wiser one. He even gave me a Canine Biology book as a Christmas gift. He is HONORABLE and an incredibly AMAZING Doctor. 🙏🔬👨‍🔬❤🐕🐾

This is is my family's go to place for medical care for our families. They are always busy that if you are a new client, it take awhile to get an appointment, and they are not outfitted for emergency care (I go to ocean avenue for emergencies) . The doctors and staff are very kind and compassionate. They don't try to upsell anything. This past year we had to put down both our dog and one of our cats. They were so kind and supportive and professional.

Love this place. Great staff. Wonderful doctors. I like that they support a more holistic approach. Combining that with Western medicine, I know I’m giving my dog the best.
