How to Save Money at Urgent Pet Care

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.

My kitten had just gotten spayed and she would not let me put her recovery suit on her and I was an anxious wreck that she was going to open her stitches. THANK GOODNESS for this animal hospital because Ken was able to put her suit on for me. He was absolutely wonderful with my fur baby, handled her so gently and talked to her the whole time he was putting her suit on. I left with the peace of mind I needed. 10/10 recommend

This place was the best Vet ER I have ever been to!! They saw my pup right away and were so nice! My 5 pound dog got into some spicy chicken and had a very upset stomach. Right away they got him an IV and bloodwork. They prescribed him some antibiotics and special diet for a week and 2 days later he’s already back to normal feeling much better!! I was so worried about my boy going in but the staff from the front desk, to the doctor were so kind and answered all of my questions I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

The staff here is amazing! Truly lifesavers. I brought my dogs in on Sunday after they sustained serious injuries. They were able to not only keep me calm but my dogs as well. They worked with me while I figured out payment plan and did everything to save my dogs. I cannot thank them enough. Don’t hesitate to bring your animals here, they are fair, honest and great with both people and the animals they care for.

Please do not take your animal here for end of life they did something wrong while giving our sick animal the medicine and she reacted, I have never seen this happen before it was pretty traumatic for us to see. I believe the Doctor was in a rush and gave the meds maybe to fast or such but this will never leave our memories just take your animals to a place with more compassion for your animal and your grieving...

I had to take my cat in and was absolutely amazed at this office. In and out quickly, no crazy add on costs, and he was treated so great. Staff is unbelievably nice and friendly. I would definitely recommend going here to anyone in need of emergency care for their furbaby.
