How to Save Money at Animal Emergency Center
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.

Two lovely ladies named Harley greeted my girlfriend and I with our 10 month old bunny Noah. They were so helpful and I have to say every experience wherever you go should be that way. Outstanding facility with amazing people. I’d recommend to anyone in need of someone stat. Thanks for everything.

The staff here are absolutely amazing. We had an emergency situation where our dog needed emergency surgery due to getting into some mischief and eating a cat toy. From the moment we called them they treated us with compassion and gave our Loki the best care. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

The staff and Dr. Holly Ohara handled the passing of my dog very professionally and compassionately. They even sent me a personalized letter that was hand written and incredibly sweet. Thank you, for making the worst night of my life as easy as possible.

When my dog started limped on a Sunday night, I called my regular vet clinic. Even though they were closed, they left AEC name & number for emergency service. I called, went here, waited only a few minutes before they saw my dog. I was told up front of the initial charge of $95. DVM O’Hara was amazing. She knew right away to check the dog’s paw and found a bee stinger which she promptly removed. Gave me benedryl and an antihistamine. The final charge $135. I hope I don’t need this service again, but if I do, I will not hesitate to go to AEC.
