How to Save Money at Coastal 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.

I have been going to Coastal Animal Hospital for many, many years, and will state that both Dr. Bonnie & Dr. Lisa and Dr. Bonnie's husband,as well as their entire staff, has never, ever disrespected me, or any of my animals. I now live 45 minutes away from them, but still make the trip because my babies deserve the best treatment I can give to them, thus Coastal Animal Hospital. Dr. Bonnie sees my dogs most times, and Dr. Lisa always took care of my cats. I know she's a cat lover, and they get excellent care from both doctors. Unless I move more than an hour from them, I will continue with this excellent facility. They have had to euthanize my previous pets and also helped me through the grieving process. When my first little boy, Mikey, had reached his end of life, Dr. Lisa and her assistants were extremely compassionate about my loss. I have always felt at ease with all of their staff, i.e., Nicole, Marcy, and all of the staff. They have always been caring and compassionate and answer all my questions, so I feel confident my babies get the best care I can possibly give them. I highly recommend this office for the best care I can offer my pets. If I could rate them higher than 5 stars, I certainly would. I love this place and so do my pets. In fact, I have an appointment there today because my dog, Cheese, needs to be seen for an issue that started yesterday, and I have 100% confidence that they will find what's bothering him and we'll both be happy as usual. Thank you to everyone at Coastal Animal Hospital, and don't ever change your operation. We love you all. Below are my babies. Cheese is our cerrent baby with mom & dad when we rescued him and in the last photo and playing with our great granddaughter, Tori, the pretty kitty, Ms. Bella who liked to dress up and loved her sister Tori and my chubby Mikey in the blue vest who loved to play and broke my heart when he passed at an the amazing age of 18-1/2 years old thanks to his excellent care at Coastal Animal Hospital.

My neighbor recommended this veterinarian, and I could not be happier. All the staff is amazing and she is truly a kind person. She and Coastal Animal Hospital have been taking care of my cat Sally (she's sleeping here) and when I moved here in 2006 she was already 2 years old.

These ladies are great with Eli. Typically vets are like a bad thing for your dog, but Eli does well when he's there. Dr. Bonnie, and Dr. Lisa handle him so he doesn't get real scared, I like their manner and so does Eli and he's the one that counts. The technicians all have a great relationship with Eli, when he arrives they get all crazy, and loves it. He's in good hands when he's there. Thank you, Ladies.
