How to Save Money at North Hills 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.

Definitely take your pets here!!! Such a friendly staff and Dr. Shuykin is wonderful. My partner and I have had multiple visits for our cat Mishka including check up’s, spaying, and visits for her reoccurring uti’s! Very easy to get in last minute appointments and we are given lots of helpful advice and options for keeping our kitty healthy! The price is always affordable for us as well. Thank you for all you guys do. :-)

I’ve been coming here since my cat was a few months old he is now 3 going on 4 and I have to say I dont feel like they give the same attention to cats the same way they do dogs they never remember who he is when I’ve come in there. Their customer service as of recently isn’t very good a young lady with piercings and colored hair has been the one I have to interact with more often than not when I call or am in there and she has been rude every time I go in there. I don’t feel like they care whether my cat lives or dies I’m to the point of finding a new place I will say Dr. Yshuykin is very pleasant, however she’s very fast to the point where if you did have questions and you happen to forget them for a second you will not be able to ask because she in and out of the room and doesn’t always return. So if your love your cat and want your cat to be treated with love and care FIND A DIFFERENT PLACE because this place just isn’t it. Idk after reading some of the other peoples reviews maybe it’s a race thing I don’t know I just know the service has never been very welcoming and pleasant

This is the best Veterinarian we’ve ever met! Dr. Shuykin and her staff are so incredibly compassionate and dedicated to our pets. Our puppy has been so sick and Dr. Shuykin has been treating her for days and doing her best to help our dog survive, I know our dog wouldn’t have made it this far without North Hills Animal Hospital. Thank you Dr. Shuykin and everyone at North Hills!
