How to Save Money at Paradise 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 actually visited the pet cemetery at Paradise with a friend. Plus we were given a tour of the kennel. Donovan Thompson was so gracious and compassionate. He worked with my friend to find the perfect gravestone for her dear dog. His love of animals and kindness to their owners were evident in all he did. Ask for him if you decide to look at a burial site for your pet. He will make the process as painless as possible.

They are a great vet place to take my dog. They are always friendly and help me right away. They let me make appointments and always have my pups medicine and soap ready after her visit. My dog is actually happy to go there. And the ladies behind the counter love seeing my pup and giving her lots of love.

I've had my beautiful little girl Sonic for 12 years and had to say goodbye to her on Sunday. During this difficult time, the staff at Paradise was so wonderful. They took care of my little one on to her final resting place and the compassion they have for what they do - it shows! Thank you, Paradise for taking care of Sonic! Also, the service was done in a timely manner and was very affordable which I appreciate. Losing a pet is hard, and I'm glad my pup's cremation was not something I had to worry about! Very thankful and highly, highly, highly recommend this crew!

Update: I have now visited this establishment several times, and I'm proud to say this place is a Gem!! They have the friendliest staff. The ladies are super nice, and very helpful in attending to questions and scheduling. They're professional and always happy to see Stella every time she arrives for her visits. Dr. Knittel is also Professional and very kind to my Stella. He examines her with attention and care. I never feel rushed and he answers questions with absolute confidence. Glad we found Paradise Hospital for my loving Stella. If you're looking for a safe and caring place for your pets, look no further. Great place for your furry friend!
