How to Save Money at Lookout Mountain 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.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this place. The women at the front desk are so kind and lovely to work with, and all the vets are equally as wonderful. My cats feel so safe here, are taken care of so well, and absolutely adore everyone that works here. They make sure we get the best prices on medicine (as well and reallyyyy good prices on the care they provide). Thank you all so much

We have worked with Tim and Allison for over a decade. They’ve helped us w regular upkeep, end of life for pets that had long lives, to new pets once again. They are the best! Would highly recommend them to anyone in the Golden and Evergreen area.

Tim and Allison have been our vet for almost 20 years. They have always been there for my pups and for us. Compassionate and kind people. I have recommended them to many of my neighbors.

What a gift the staff and doctors here have been to us. We moved to the area from out of state 7 years ago with our small cat Tyco, who had both food and vaccine allergies. He has always been an important part of our family. Nine months ago, at 16 years of age Tyco was not tolerating food and weighed less than 7 lbs. Dr Achee, who had been through something similar with her own cat, gave me liquid steroid and syringes so that I could administer daily steroid shots in the skin at the back of his neck. Tyco rebounded beautifully and in the last 9 months we've spoiled him rotten! He eventually lost interest in food again and became very fragile. Two weeks ago his hips gave out and it was time to euthanize him. Everyone did an amazing job of helping me with the process, from explaining what would happen, to letting me hold him throughout and allowing me time alone with him to say goodbye. I picked up his cremated remains (beautifully preserved in a small carved wooden box) a few days ago and today I received a lovely card signed by the entire staff with notes of support and condolence. As a retired RN, I recognize kindness and strength in others. Thank you to everyone at Lookout Mountain Animal Hospital for going above and beyond what is expected. It means so very much!

Tim is amazing! He treats my fur baby Piston like his own. He truly cares about all animals! He will go above & beyond to help. All the employees we have encountered are so kind. I only wish we had found Lookout sooner. We are pet patients for life!
