How to Save Money at Central 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 have taken my pets to Central Animal Hospital for many years. Their love and superb medical attention my dogs received is extraordinary. The whole medical team are highly professional and their level of veterinarian experience is incomparable. The best animal hospital in the southeast

I wrote this as a review on Yelp about them and wanted it here as well. I absolutely had the best service ever. My cat was made very comfortable and he was as relaxed as any animal can be. Even when my dear cat was given two shots he never fought because they made him feel so relaxed that he was purring. I was made comfortable as well. Very friendly staff from the moment you enter this establishment. You feel the warmth and genuine love and care everyone here has for all animals. Now one of the most important part to some is the cost unfortunately, but I was so surprised how reasonable their cost was. I am blown away and will sing their praises. I have found a place where I feel great to take my animals for all their medical needs and means allot to me. I want to thank Cara Hammons for being so gentle and loving to my perts. I also would love to point out that Ashley at the awesome Cat Cafe downtown is who referred me there. Thank Ashley for helping me find this place. We are new in Savannah and had no time yet to establish us our regular veterinarian. Now we have the best one in town. You deserve 10 stars.

I booked a late appointment because of work. It’s the only free time this busy person has. The staff was nice and friendly the wait not so great. They were very busy. My Piper was glad to see her veterinarian ! I was happy that her ten year “senior” check up was all good news. I had never taken her to the vet, that was always the responsibility of her owner ... my X wife who left earlier this year and told me nothing about the fur baby. Luckily they sent out a reminder card and that’s when I scheduled the appointment. They helped me fill out the ownership papers and all is good for my fur baby. I like Central Animal Hospital !
