How to Save Money at Noah's Westside 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.

Our animals have always received quality care at Noah's, whether it's been urgent, critical, or end-of-life care. We were in last night with Max and, while there was a long wait due to more critical patients, they did a good job keeping us updated. He ended up spending the night. They did a great job fixing him up and went above and beyond to give us advice on non-urgent issues he's been having. Thank you to everyone who was so patient with my anxious, old boy.

I had to bring my handsome ravioli here on 9/5/23 due to him not feeling well and acting weird. He had a complete bladder obstruction and was in critical condition. They worked fast and took such good care of him. They gave me updates, let me come visit him, gave him love when I wasn’t able to be there. Sadly when they pulled his catheter after peeing a couple times he started to strain and was blocked again. I had to make a very hard decision to put him down. The doctors and staff here were so kind to him and us. They allowed us as long as we needed to be with him. They let me hold him as he left this world. You could tell how much they cared for him and I will be forever grateful to the staff that helped him. They provided me with his paw prints, nose prints, and some of his hair. I will also be able to get his ashes back. I highly recommend Noah’s for emergency vet visits or if you’re sadly needing to put your pet down. They will show you and your animals love and take very good care of them. Thank you for taking such good care of my boy.

They saved my big boys life after a bad accident. When we arrived, we were greeted immediately, and he was taken back right away. The wait for his prognosis was not long at all. He was admitted to the icu for treatment and observation overnight. We received several calls with up dates on his condition. He is now home resting and recovering. He will have surgery here in the next week to fix his dislocated back leg. We can not say enough thanks to the great team at Noah's animal hospital!

Our GSD, Fitz, has been going to Noah’s in Geist since he was a puppy. They have always been great. He’s now almost 10 years and has a brain tumor. We have recently treated with SRT radiation and he’s currently on a bunch of meds. The few times we need to board Fitz, it’s great knowing we can board him at Noah’s Westside in medical boarding so he has people monitoring him 24/7. He is seizure prone, so we don’t want to leave him alone at any point.
