How to Save Money at Our Hope Center Animal Clinic

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.

Charles Kazakwic: I don't know how much worse a sick cat without eating and vomiting for two weeks could be. Nor do I think that in 24 hours he could recover from the level of dehydration presented to us. Sr. we did the best we could to help your pet, his recovery would take days, you were informed of that, and you were the one who made the decision to take it with you. I understand you are mad but please be honest and tell the truth.

The owner is a horrible person and her prices are never the same I would never ever use them again. I now go to Bayshore animal hospital. Very good and great people there

They're very good, very kind. And for my experience I have nothing to say bad the vet seem to know what he was talking about however we do have to take rascal back to get his rabies shots but he's got to be checked out one more time before we do that. So definitely cautious there, which I appreciate cuz my pets are like my babies. I'm on social security disability. And they took that into consideration. And I will go back I got to go. And I have two friends also who use them and love them. So that's why I went and I feel the same way they do they are very helpful very kind.

We highly reccomend this vet , he will care for your pet as if they were his own. Never met such a honest caring, loving person. The world would be a better place if there were more people like this. Thank you for your service as a vet and also as a military vet. Hank & Darlene
