How to Save Money at Scarbrough 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 brought my baby girl Mala in with pyometra absolutely devastated thinking we were going to lose her. The whole entire staff were so kind and helpful. The hospital was super clean and welcoming. I won’t be bringing my baby anywhere else but here. They really do care about the animals. They also review all the charges clearly and work with payment plans which saved us. Mala had to stay overnight after her surgery and I was a mess all night worried, for nothing. They took amazing care of her and I picked her up the next day (today) again, thank you all so much for your hard work and dedication! You guys saved my baby.. my four daughters, husband and I are beyond grateful. Amazing team! Definitely recommend 10/10!

I have been going to Scarborough animal hospital for a couple years now. We always had seen Dr.Drew he would take care of our pups. Something we loved about that vet and doc was 1. You can tell that man genuinely loved animals. 2. He would only offer you what your pet actually needed and not try to rip you off. He was very reasonable… I couldn’t make it the other day so my parents took the pups, it was a total sales pitch. $800 later… for an ear cleaning, nail trim, and biopsy. Dr. Drew would never!!! Make sure you don’t fall into there sales pitch and get what you can actually afford.

This place was wonderful! We recently moved to the area and our biewer terrier Einstein had scratched his eye just before the move and Scarborough was able to see us the same day we landed. The entire staff was so friendly, they were very gentle with our pup as well as patient with us. They took the time to explain everything to us in an easy to understand manner as well as demonstrate how to give him his eye drops. We are absolutely going to use Scarborough for our dog and our cat and if you are looking for veterinary services then I recommend you come here.

I wish I could give 100 stars!! Very loving and kind vet office! They care deeply about the animals and always check up on them. They are truly one of a kind! The only vet office that will work with you on payments. They saved my bulldog’s life because she needed a c-section. They saved the puppies and my sweet dog’s life! Everyone in the office is as nice as they can be. Highly highly recommend!!

While the care they give seems adequate, they are not a 'user-friendly' vet. I had taken my previous cat (who passed) to them and the charges were ASTRONOMICAL. But she was sick and I did what I had to do. I called to get a price for a basic kitten exam & shots. I knew the kittens weights and ages. They refused to tell me the price without bringing both of them in for an exam because they knew I was a previous client. My husband called from his cell. They readily gave him the price & offered a free basic exam for each kitten. Their price was 2 - 3 times the amount of other vets we contacted. Pic of kittens as a thank you for reading my review 😻
