How to Save Money at Summerlin 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.

Always a great experience, whether annual exam visits or an unexpected situation; our Danes are always treated as though they are their own pets. We’ve been coming here for almost 14 years and never had an issue with these wonderful staff and docs- thanks for all you do for us (from front desk to surgery needs, you’re all terrific)!

My animals feel very safe and comfortable visiting this establishment. The veterinarians are very kind! I also like how they do checkouts- every patient stays in the exam room during checkout so there isn’t a line of people and animals at the counter waiting to pay for services. I appreciate that my animals do not necessarily have to mingle with other animals in the lobby.

I have taken my kitten Sooty to Summerlin AH since I adopted him. I own an A/C company and, as somone who provides services, and has won many awards for service, I am seldom as impressed as I have been with this Vet practice. From my first appointment, I was reminded in advance by both email and telephone. Our first appt. was a breeze, we were never made to wait, whisked into an exam room, asked pertinent questions and then seen by Dr. John. Dr. John was very thorough and has been the Dr. we see every time we go. I really like that consistancy. He remembers Sooty, is engaged and listens to my concerns, answers all my questions and has made me feel confidant that I've chosen the right place for my Kitten's surgery, healthcare and chip implantation. Not only is Dr. John a real gem, but the ladies in his office are so friendly, considerate, knowledgeable and organized. My 79 year old mom gets worse care at her General Practitioner and that's no joke. I see one review that said if Dr. John took human patients they'd be the first in line...i agree 100%. Additionally, the staff at Summerlin is top notch and in this current employment situation, post COVID, that says a lot about how they feel about working there. They give it their all and it shows. Sooty has now had all his kitten shots, neutering/declaw surgery(my mother is on blood thinners and has paper thin skin so this was not a choice but the only way I could have a cat in our home. So, please don't judge), chip etc. Not one experience has differed from what I have described above. The service, follow up, and care that Summerlin AH offers is top notch and unparalleled. They may not be the least expensive, but they are also not the most. If your budget allows you to pay for service and quality, and if your time is valuable, this is the Vet for you!

They take such great care of my two older mini Aussies! My smaller guy needed a dental and the final cost was actually LESS than the estimate's low end. They are honest and kind and really do have the animals best interests at heart. I wouldn't hesitate to bring my fur babies here.

We took two foster pups here and the vet and staff made were extremely patient and kind. If my wife and I choose to have our dogs again we would definitely recommend this facility. The staff was great with two extremely skiddish and nervous foster dogs who haven’t had much human interaction in the past two years.
