How to Save Money at Galilee Veterinary 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 have a Persian cat who needs regular grooming (shaving) and has to be sedated. The groomer at Galilee always does an excellent job and especially this last time. She received a perfect, even cut and she looks and feels great. Thank you so much from Phoebe and family.

We've taken in quite a few kittens over the years and seldom needed help outside of the basics. This little girl was beyond our abilities but the folks at Galilee stepped right up to the challenge. She turned around a very uncertain prognosis after some last minute emergency care right before a holiday weekend. They called to check on her and everyone involved at their office was so genuinely excited to see her taking a turn for the better the next time we took her in. These folks have absolutely won me as a customer for a very long time.

Someone near and dear to my heart had to help her pup cross the rainbow bridge. This dog was her world. After calling a previous place that had a bad attitude and zero compassion, she found Galilee. She could not praise them enough on the compassion and sympathy they showed to her as well as her sweet pup. When I went to pick up his ashes for her they were still just as kind, with tears and all. Thank you to the amazing staff for taking care of both her and her sweet boy, Waylon.

my dog, cobain, has had severe itching for months since i got him. along with dandruff, red spots, and over all just being very uncomfortable. Within a few weeks of having him after his first initial checkup at the vet for shots, i knew he needed to go back. i took him to the place i was recommended. i wont name drop but this place let me down. they said his skin looked fine. it did not look fine. he was loosing hair and had a white sheet of dandruff over his fur. i decided to just handle it myself and i changed his diet and gave him supplements and allergy meds once in a while. finally i couldn't take it anymore, nothing i was doing was helping my baby. i called Galilee and they told me they couldn't give any info over the phone bc he wasn't a patient. respectable. and guess what! and hour later a woman called me and said they weren't excepting new patients atm but to tell her what was going on. i expressed to how bad it was and she told me her pup was like that and for the moment give him allergy meds after she had consulted with a veterinarian doctor. then she said she might have an open appt. these ppl fit me in at not only the time other their convenience but mine as well. im not going to lie, i was in the waiting room for a little longer than anticipated, but God wasn't worth it. they gave him a shot, medicated shampoo, meds, and flee/tick/mange meds. i swear as soon as he got home after that shower with the medicated shampoo... HE IS ITCH FREE AND HIS SKIN IS THE BEST IVE EVER SEEN IT!!! my baby looks so happy and he can lay down comfortably. they gave me so much information and free treats❤️ i was expected to pay a lot of money but this was honestly a fair price for the treatment and the medicine my baby received. very amazing place! she even scheduled a follow up appt to make sure he was responding to the meds good. i don't know if ill be able to go just bc money is tight for me but it just shows how caring they are. 10/10!!! everyone there is very sweet i even saw a couple faces i knew there!❤️
