How to Save Money at Progress Park 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.

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.

I cant say enough positive things about progress park! They are quick to respond with pet concerns and offer solutions in a very timely manner. Their staff shows compassion and a genuine love for animals! We recently started taking our dog Chloe here and we feel very confident in our care for her. I highly reccomend taking yours pets here. Dr. Blair is wonderful too!

Our little Molly has been going here since she was 3 mos. old. They. Are. Awesome. They are so easy with her. They're always busy but will ALWAYS take the time to answer ALL your questions. We've never felt like we've gotten the "bum's rush". Molly's breed is prone to patella issues. Soooo....major surgery at 13 mos. on one leg & another in the Spring on the other leg. Breeder assured us she was "show quality" & "no history of patella issues in her lineage". Well...the breeder is in NC. They're going to get pictures and a letter. But Dr. Hasty @ Progress Park Vet Hospital has done a wonderful job. Molly's already walking without a limp not even 2 weeks after surgery! Of course we're following instructions with massaging, physical therapy, more massage then icing it down 3x every day. The only way we'll go anywhere else is if they close! 😳 Hopefully they never do! 😭

The only way I can post is to give this clinic one star. When I would like to give it negative stars. Please review Dr Hasty's Sandwich clinic review before you give them your business. I wasn't as smart as the guy who wrote the review. My bff ended up dying 3 days after his surgery. If I had read that review I never would have listened to "oh! He's just groggy!" No. He was in utter distress but I took the advice from the clinic with heartbreaking results. Never again. Please research who you trust your best friend's life with. When your companion is healthy it's all good. It's when things go downhill you need to be able to trust. I did. And my best friend paid the price. As do I every single day.

Dr. A. Hasty has helped my dog during an emergency on a national holiday. She reassured me and my family. This practice went above and beyond to help not only my dog, Pepper, but to give me piece of mind during what could have been a very bad day. My family will definitely be back to this clinic! 5/5; would recommend to a friend!

We have brought our dog there several times including once when he was very sick with pneumonia when he was young. The Doctors have all been extraordinary in their care of our pet. The support staff, on the other hand, are awful. I was laughed at while describing our dog's breathing problems and when I had to pick up our kennel that we forgot I was told that it would be a few minutes before anyone could help me all while I could see the kennel in the room 4 steps from the receptionist and she continued clicking on the computer (something really important I'm sure). We recently called to schedule a procedure and the questions we had about pricing were met with impatience. They ended up cancelling the appointment and I think we will be looking elsewhere for a vet. We recounted our experiences to a couple people who deal with them on a regular basis and they had similar stories about the support staff.
