How to Save Money at TLC 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.

Took excellent care of my Mishkin. Mishkin injured his paw. They got me in the same day. Took care of my baby's injury. Mishkin was comfortable at all times. Very gentle. Great vet, great staff. I definitely would recommend TLC for pet owners. BTW Mishkin has been a patient at TLC for 3 years. I am very satisfied.

I am so touched by our vet, Dr. Fellman, at TLC Animal Hospital sent us this card. We had to make the hard decision to put our beloved cat to sleep last week. He has been through a lot medically the last few years and Dr. Fellman has been there encouraging us every step of the way, but it was time. I truly love Dr. Fellman. She’s THE BEST of the best. She has the kindest heart. She takes her time with you and your pets and listens. She doesn’t rush you out of the office. This card just shows you her bedside manner. Front office staff is always friendly and helpful as well. Have been going to this vet for many years and will remain loyal customer. Thank you Dr. Fellman and all of the TLC staff for your kindness.

We’ve had only fantastic experiences here with the doctors and staff. The team of doctors has shifted a bit over time, but that hasn’t changed the care that our pets have received. Recently, I brought in our senior cat, knowing he was close to the end of his life but not quite prepared. They took me into a room when I didn’t even have an appointment (the plan was to drop him off for an exam). She spent some time with me which included hugs, personal experiences shared, and a very quick exam of the cat just in order to give me some information. Overall, she walked me through that very tough decision and worked with me so that our kids could say goodbye to him after school. I will never forget the kindness that was shared with me.

I had a wonderful experience with the staff. Dr. Riguero, Mario, and Dica were so kind and compassionate. My dog is a lover but does not love to be examined. They made me feel so at ease, and I will never lose sleep again if I have to bring him back to the vet. Thank you from Buddy and his family. 🐾❤️ Highly Recommend!
