How to Save Money at Care 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.

Thanks to Care Animal Hospital for getting my cat Alf in on such short notice. I appreciate the care and support they have always provided to my cats. I have used them for several years now for my cats and they have always been very helpful and supportive. Thank you for your service to our community!

THANK YOU to my doctor and the rest of the staff .

Care Animal Hospital has been one of the best facilities for animals I’ve seen. We had to make the hardest decision as pet owners and put our family dog to sleep. I called them 30 minutes before they closed, told them what was going on, and without hesitation, they had us come in to help us. Once we got there (10 minutes before they close), they didn’t rush us, didn’t make anything feel hurried, and gave us the time we needed to process what was happening and say our final goodbye’s. They were so kind and sympathetic, and I was too much of a mess to tell them how much I appreciated their service and quick response. I wish I could do more than just give a five star review. Thank you so much Care Animal for making this painful process a bit easier for us to endure, and thank you for taking us so quickly and last minute. It was a bit pricey for our budget, but honestly, what isn’t with our economy right now? Medicine and healthcare items alone have always been expensive and I know that it isn’t their fault.

I would not trust my fur baby with anyone else, I know they care about you and all the animals they take care of. I have been bringing Molly here for 9 yrs and will continue to do so until she crosses the rainbow Bridge and then entrust in them to take care of her after that. Everyone has always been so nice and caring, I have never had a bad experience at CAH. Keep up the Good work!! And Thank You!!

My recent experience at Care Animal hospital was amazing! I brought a very sick kitten in that I had just adopted and the vets, techs and staff did everything possible to save his life. 3 weeks later he is a happy, energetic, thriving kitten. All the staff who work there are very friendly and helpful and I would never go anywhere else to have my pets treated.
