How to Save Money at Ukiah 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.

The only reason I go there is because I have a rabbit and no other vet around will treat a rabbit. I feel like he price gouges when I've had a 75 lb dog cost me less to spay out-of-pocket no snap certificate. The rabbit belongs to my daughter therefore I'm going to try and save him the best I can but he had abscesses on his ear and it cost me over $1,000 just to end with an amputated ear and my rabbit was the first one he had ever done it to. I'm happy and grateful he help me out in saving my rabbit's life but the prices are ridiculous especially for a first. I was quoted one price and charged a whole different one. Not cool

Excellent standard of care. With compassion and clarity, Dr. Haynes always provides the scientific and veterinary details, reviews microbiology and radiography and included me in what, why, when with practical, compassionate solutions. Very important to me, his stellar knowledge & expertise gives me confidence and trust. The entire staff demonstrate incredible teamwork physically (big dog) and sense of urgency (big decisions), kindness & accommodation more than once. Jessica juggles a lot at the desk yet rises to the occasion. Todd in the back a good teacher to his team and accomplished Vet Tech.....TEN stars for UVH....

I love Ukiah Veterinary hospital. They are excellent. I live in Lakeport and I would drive all the way to Ukiah for their service. They take care if both my cats and soon my son's English Bulldog. I can say they were more helpful than the vets in Lakeport

I bought my dog here about 2 weeks ago when I discovered she had an ear infection. My regular vet was full and I had called a few places before this one that was all booked up(some until july) but they were really nice and had an opening. At the appointment everyone from the receptionist to the Dr was so kind, patient and gentle with my dog (who is a giant baby, unfortunately because of covid I wasn't able to socialize her like I should have so she's very fearful of new surroundings and people). Along with the ear infection issue I asked for the Dr to clips her nails and express her anal glands. Her nails were actually a lot shorter than I realized so the Dr said she didn't need, it would be unfair to charge for clipping maybe one nail so he didn't do it. Which I really appreciate because I see that her really cares and not just in it for the money. Overall great place and will definitely come back if I ever need to.
