How to Save Money at Adair County 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.

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.

My recently spayed cat had an infection in her incision site. I was able to take her as soon as they open and once we arrived, they treated her with so much care and love and she was able to get an emergency surgery. They also diagnose some other underlying health issues we did not know our cat had. They have been very informative and have answered all of the questions we’ve had regarding our cat’s health. After the surgery they have been in touch regarding my cat’s recovery which we appreciate so much. We are so grateful of all the care they’ve given to our cat Pretzel

I love everyone at Adair County Animal Hospital! They are so easy to get in touch with (I LOVE being able to talk and schedule via text) and they’ve always been able to see my cats very quickly when needed. I recently boarded my 4 cats for a week during the holidays and they were well-loved during my time away. I received updates every day and they even provided pictures for me when I asked. They were able to accommodate their 3x a day feeding schedule at no extra cost and made sure they had their blankets and toys. It was a super reasonable price for an entire week and I would happily board with them again.

Believing our Capone had a small injury to his leg on Sunday, Dr. Rexroat was able to get us worked in on Monday. After a physical exam and X-ray, osteosarcoma was suspected. Dr. R was very thorough in our options. She was patient while my husband and I processed that are four-legged fella had cancer. Our questions were answered quickly via text, email and phone calls. We opted for amputation of the affected front left leg the following Friday. We are updated on Al Capone’s progress as he entered recovery. The veterinary assistants and technicians were phenomenal when we picked our boy at the end of the day. They were gentle and patient as we loaded him up to go home. Not an easy feat when Capone weighs 100 pounds. Late Saturday Capone started experiencing vomiting and became very lethargic. Dr. R was easily accessible by phone. We followed her recommendations however, the next day the vomiting still continued, and we were advised to bring him in. We were met by veterinary assistants and technicians. The issue was reduced to the pain medication that Capone was on. They quickly address that issue and provided him with fluids. After a two day, stay being rehydrated and cared for Capone was able to come back home. The staff was great allowing us to visit with him both days. He regained his appetite. He was drinking. His spirit was returning, and his mobility was incredible. We are hopeful that Al Capone will continue to improve and embrace his new title as the best tripawed in all the land. A huge thank you to Dr. Rexroat , Nicole, Jennifer, Emily, Heather, Kayla and Velina (sure I missed someone) for taking good care of Capone, being his champion and for giving us hope.

My wife and I have a "weekend property" in Adair County. Having pets we, of course, had to choose a vet for those trips down from Louisville. We are extremely pleased with the service we have received at ACHA. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The vet techs are thorough, professional, and friendly. Dr.'s Pettyjohn and Rexroat have been fantastic to work with, and take the time to listen to our questions/concerns and discuss the necessary medical care. There's no hesitancy in our recommendation for Adair County Animal Hospital. Thank you all for everything you've done for us and Peanut!

Best (and cleanest) boarding facilities with staff that really cares for your pet. My babies always enjoy their time boarding here. I wouldn’t trust any where else with my pets. I love knowing they get extra love and pets while I’m away and have a doctor nearby should they need anything. ❤️
