How to Save Money at Northside Veterinary 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.

I am very pleased with the staff at this clinic. We moved from Georgia and I was nervous about finding someone comparable to our vet there. The staff treat each baby with love and tenderness really decreasing the dogs stress. I am very thankful for finding you.Oscar, Daisy, and Harley are very comfortable with all of you.

I went to 3 different vets today, Northside being the 3rd. My poor pup had a broken paw and needed assistance. The staff were all so incredible. I called and the phone etiquette was superb, along with the treatment my pup and I were both given. I would reccomend this veterinary clinic to anyone. I can't imagine what a better experience or outcome would've been like. I appreciate so much them getting my sweet Piper fixed up, and being so patient with me as well. If you need a vet, this is the one to choose.❤️

Dr. Tim is amazing and he has taken care of our dog and cat for 10 plus years, but there is always an issue with the front desk. They just can’t get it organized.

I’ve been bringing my pets here for about 12 years now. My 8 year old dog doesn’t typically trust people he doesn’t know. Unfortunately the vet techs never work there long so every time he begins to trust one of the girls they are gone for the next visit. We have a system that works great when I bring him in and it’s very simple. Don’t close the door all the way and don’t knock before you enter. Something about doors opening and someone he doesn’t know coming in gets him excited and uncomfortable. Unfortunately a new girl didn’t know the simple system and when she knocked on the door then entered the room he barked at her. Poor girl was visibly shaken and I do felt bad for her. I also felt bad for my dog. Once he realized she was scared it made him more anxious. I’ve never seen him try so hard to get away from someone holding his leash. As a result now they want him wearing a muzzle. They also tried to double the medication they thought he was taking to “keep him calm” in reality I never gave him the medication before any of the visits. It was the system of not closing the door or knocking that kept him calm for years prior. It’s unfortunate that we have to see a new vet and I wish you all the best. The 3 stars are for the last 12 years of good service. It would have been 4 or 5 but just couldn’t do it after the last visits. Overall it’s a good vet just be prepared to see a lot of new faces working there each visit.
