How to Save Money at Griffith Animal Hospital P.C.
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 needed a vet for my new furbaby. I had previously taken my senior dog to a highly rated vet and I’ve regretted that decision. I wish I’d of known to come to this place instead. Don’t let the negative reviews of this place turn you away. The staff here is kind and knowledgeable. I wanted to wait till I made at least 2 trips to this office before posting a review, just in case they were only nice bc I’m a new client. That is not the case. Both times they treated my dog with kindness. She was happy to go into the office the second time even tho the first time she went she had to get all her vaccinations. They gave her, her first nail clipping and she still came out tail wagging and happy. I was lucky to be there when there wasn’t any crazy emergencies- so we were in and out with very minimal wait time. Thank you for keeping my “Little” healthy.

Place looked unkept. Came in for a specific issue and was told my pet needed other work done. She was given shots without anyone clarifying what they were. Vet had a cold and uninviting tone. Assistant were kind and helpful, talked to me after appointment about next step. Front desk gave me wrong receipt and told me the wrong total. My partner had to go back in the clinic twice for clarification of what was done and what was needed. Had an unwelcoming energy and felt like all the answers I was given was a bill to pay. Vet told me she couldn’t help me with initial issue I took my pet in for, and shrugged it off. She rolled her eyes and seemed like I was forcing her for her help. Will not be returning.

I love them they are the best. I took my Thirteen year old chiwawa in for a cyst the size of a golf ball. Most vets said no because of her age. They did not they gave me back my best friend. I could never repay their entire staff. Every one in this establishment truly loves animals. The staff is amazing and the doctor I wish there was more like her. Griffith animal hospital Glitzy and I love and thankyou

I love Dr. A! All of my dogs have gone here and have always been taken well care of! The staff is extremely pleasant and I've never had an issue with them. Sometimes you do have to wait, but that is usually for an emergency that happened to another animal. I don't mind, because if that happened to one of my dogs, I'd want immediate attention too. They are very caring and kind!

I brought my senior dog in today. our family was afraid it might be "that" time. the staff and the vet were SO helpful and informative. they were kind and gentle with my dog. The vet really gave us piece of mind and helped us understand the situation better. She gets 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!! I would definitely recommend this place! Great environment and great staff!
