How to Save Money at Gateway 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.

We adopted three pit bull puppies, all littermates. We picked them up on a Saturday and when I called the following Monday, they had an appointment open the next day. We found out that all three puppies were almost 9 weeks old. The staff have been very friendly and have explained everything they have needed to do for the last couple of months. The puppies are always excited to see the staff and want to stay and play when they are done with their visits. Definitely going to stay at Gateway!

Yesterday was our 1st time at Gateway Animal Hospital. I have a 1 1/2 year old Yorkie and he was needing to be seen and our previous vet left where they practiced and we just weren't happy there. I have to say that Gateway is where we will stay. I was able to get my pup in fast. Lucky wasn't scared and acted like he was at home while we were waiting for them to get him. One of the workers came out to talk to me and get info and they took Lucky so I could go back to work. I received a call and the lady went over everything with me and prices. Just an all around amazing experience. Thank you so much for being so good to Lucky. He is extra special to our family.

Dr. Gary is an awesome veterinarian that clearly loves animals. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and very calm with my sensitive Italian Greyhound (and her emotional owner). Going to Gateway, I trust that Dooney will get the best care possible to help her live her best life!

I will truly never take my cats anywhere else! Love all of the staff here. You can tell that even the vet techs here love what they do. They really truly care about your pet like they’re family here and always go above and beyond to make sure they are as happy and healthy as possible. Absolutely recommend!

We've taken all 5 of our dogs to Gateway and we couldn't ask for better care for our pets. Dr. Gary (Edwards) and his staff are amazing from his front desk employees to his techs and back office employees, his office manager Rachel and his associate veterinatians, Dr. Warren and Dr. Lamar. I will continue to recommend them. When you are fortunate enough to have such expertise and compassion all rolled into one package,your pets couldn't get better care anywhere.
