How to Save Money at Collier 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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.
Reviews from Google
Every time I come to Collier Animal Hospital the staff is extremely friendly. The doctors come out and take time to explain everything in detail. They do not rush you out and answer all of your questions. They take great care of your pets. I love the visit notes they send in email after the visits too. Nothing but good things to say. I used to live across the street but now I live 40 minutes away and the drive is still worth it.

I just relocated to the Atlanta area from North Carolina and our Vet Dr. Burnett back in NC is actually originally from Atlanta and referred us to Collier Animal Hospital due to her knowing Dr. Ewing. My Goldendoodle Thor saw Dr. Smith, they provided us with a great first time experience, were extremely friendly, thorough, and informative. I was so nervous about having to find him a new vet because good care for our furbabies is just as important to me as finding myself a good doctor. They made me feel comfortable and reassured me that Thor is in great hands. They even send you pictures and notes of the exam! I will definitely keep bringing Thor here for all of his care. Thank you for taking care of us!

We love Collier Animal Hospital! The entire staff has been always been professional, kind, honest, and easy to work with. I appreciate that they always send invoice and clinical notes afterward (and sometimes cute pictures of his visit!) so I can easily submit my pet insurance claims. Their pricing is definitely reasonable. Aside from great routine care, our sweet dog recently was seen by Dr. Carrie Smith & staff after a dog bite at daycare. He was seen and treated same-day and is making a speedy recovery! We loved that they called to check up on him the next day. Thanks so much for all y’all do! (They suggested he wear a t-shirt to cover his stitches instead of a cone which he loves - and looks adorable!)

We love our vet! With two dogs and four cats, going to the vet can be a logistical nightmare- but they truly make it as easy as possible for us. Our fur babies like their vet and we know they treat them well. We absolutely love Dr Schroedel!

We’ve been going to Collier Animal Hospital for years. They are always efficient, friendly and most importantly knowledgeable and so caring. Their communication and follow-up is amazing and they always make time time to see my pup, even last minute. Highly recommend and appreciate all the Vets and staff!!
