How to Save Money at Airport Animal Emergi-Center

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.

They put my baby kitty back together. She was playing with her brother on the cat tree and she fell and her belly slid down the side of a plastic table corner and literally ripped her from chest to between hind legs, maybe 4 inches from her tail. It was horrific and I’m usually the calm one in situations. We wrapped her tight in a towel, taco style to keep her belly together. When we got there we were one of the ppl waiting and an employee came over and started to get us registered. She asked to see the wound and she skipped paperwork, we went into a room about 3 minutes after that and when the doctor came in he was so kind. I cannot remember his name, but he explained that I’m not a terrible fur momma because the skin on kitties stomachs apparently is really thin and it can “…have a tendency to rip and not impale”. So they took her back. She went into surgery and I went to get something to eat even tho I wasn’t hungry. I ended up sitting in the fast food parking lot and fell asleep (we had been up night). I got a call that surgery was done and then all the details yada yada.

I can not express how thankful our family is of this place and the staff that work there! Our baby girl had to be rushed in and we thought we where going to have to put her down. This place helped save our babies life! I will forever be great full for all they did to help her and save her life! Two days post op and our baby is doing amazing she has perked up and already starting to be more alert. Her color has returned and she has been doing great I’m so thankful for the staff that fought for our baby. You guys saved our entire family with just saving her. Liberty is my husbands Emotional support animal and she has helped him through some very hard times I know he is forever great full for you all!

Our experience, as far as care for our cat, was great. The doctors were great and all but one nurse/assistant was great. Tammy is not suitable for emergency care. The people that come to this facility are panicked and scared. No one wants to be there. Any question that we asked was met with rudeness. We asked if our cat needed certain medications and she acted as if we were being unreasonable. I asked if I could take my daughter home during the wait (my cat had already been taken back for care) and she told me I’d move to the back of the line (without even knowing what our case was). Another nurse immediately helped us, took us to a room and provided actual care that met our needs and answered our questions. Tammy made our experience worse than it already was.

Things always seem to go wrong at the worst possible times. If it does for your pet: I 100% would recommend this place! Today was the second time we needed them. Both times the staff were very friendly and prompt. The Vet was careing appeared to be very competent. Don't hesitate to trust your pet's care and well-being to them. Dr. Robert Stewart

I took my dog here last night after calling Noahs and hearing they had a 3 hour wait. Airport said their wait was about 1 hour. My dog had been vomiting all day and couldn’t keep any food or water down, including plain boiled chicken. I was afraid she had eaten part of a tennis ball that my pet sitter gave her. When we got to the clinic they told us to come in, and we got a room right away. I didn’t even have to wait the quoted hour, the vet took her back for xrays pretty quickly. The vet said there is no visible obstruction but her intestines and stomach look inflamed. She gave my dog nausea meds and some IV fluids under her skin, Ive never seen that before so it was interesting. So far my baby is doing ok, she hasn’t thrown up since she took the nausea meds 13 hours ago. It was expensive but we received excellent care and Im surprised to see all the negative reviews. I will update this review if anything else happens.
