How to Save Money at Abbot 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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.

Arnold was very tentative to our needs. We put our cat to rest and the Dr and Arnold were so supportive and I genuinely appreciate their support and kindness. Great place to take your baby's ( pets). Even if it's a visit they will take good care of your family and work with you. Thank you Dr. And Arnold for your help.

I love abbot animal hospital!! I hope Arnold and Jennifer stay in abbot animal hospital!! I was trying to take in my dog to get shots and annual check up but I didn’t know what my dog needed so I called to make an appointment, Jennifer was so helpful and answered my questions about each vaccination. She was thorough and didn’t rush the scheduling process which I needed because vet clinics can be scary!!! On day of appointment, Arnold the vet nurse asked me questions and actually listened to my concerns while Jennifer was calming my dog and talking to her and holding her. My dog is a nervous wreck unless someone give her affection so she stopped panting so hard and looked less anxious! Usually other places I been to don’t Pay attention to your pet like Jennifer did for ours. Even after Dr child assessed my dog Jennifer was making sure my dog was okay and Arnold explained the medication and heart worm stuff to us patiently! Thank you Arnold, Jennifer and Dr. Child!!

This place is a killer. I would not recommend coming here. Dr. Child increased my cats dose. She didn't care about the side effects or what would the medicine do to her but told Me to give it to her anyways. The next day she didn't want to eat. She slept all day. Few day later she got a blood clot in her leg that traveled to her head and she was unresponsive and I didn't know what was going on or happening to her because the doctor didn't give me any warnings or heads up so there for I had to put her to sleep. All thanks to Dr. Child. She killed my baby.

Awful experience, the vet is scared of big dogs , my dog was not calm around the veterinarian Susan child. The vet and tech made me and my mom make an assessment of my dog's ears and mouth while in the office. Doctor not very friendly or professional. When the vet entered the room her facial expressions were not friendly. She looked at my dog like she was a problem. I Will not bring my dog back here. Dr. Manyam was excellent, I'm not sure how he left handed over his practice to these veterinarians.

After having a home vet for 20 years we moved on to Abbot from a referral from my daughter. They are amazing and very reasonably priced. We have three wiener dogs and two of them have been treated there with the utmost care and the employees all pass on warm and fuzzies. Great place!
