How to Save Money at Northshore Animal Hospital Inc

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.

It wasn't good. I went in with a voucher to neuter my dog and ask for a rabies shot & and clip his nails. I was presented with a bill for $212. Including office visit and tests etc that were preformed on him that was not discussed with me. I believe this is theft by fraud.

I have been completely satisfied with all my services here. I followed Dr. Mahly from her previous employer and I feel the longer drive is well worth it. The staff is very nice and they have so much compassion. My baby girl passed earlier this year and Dr. Mahly helped us through the last few months giving us different options that weren't offered before. We knew her time was short but having someone walk that with you is so comforting. I will definitely continue going to Northshore Animal Hospital with my babies in the future.

Dr. Wayne is informative and thorough! I know my pup is in great hands with the team at Northshore Animal Hospital and it is well worth the drive from Hammond. Would recommend them over and over again to anyone that wants only the best care for their pet.

We have been at Northshore for the past 9 years. Always felt the love of animals from the staff and always feel that my pet is well cared for. What pup gets out of the car and runs straight for the door of their Vet's office? A Veterinary Office that cares and always remembers my pets name even if we just stop by to pic up food or meds. Anytime I have questions they are answered with my full understanding. I highly recommend Northshore Animal Hospital.

Hello all. My name is James and I recently moved to Mandeville. My beloved dog/friend/family member Gracie was struggling with cancer and epilepsy. There was no cure and I had resigned to riding out the bad days and providing her with as much love and comfort as I could and appreciating the good days for whatever time we had left. Sadly, 3 days ago, it had become painfully obvious that keeping Gracie alive was selfish and I had to let her go, but I had not established a relationship with a local vet yet and didn't know who to call. Northshore AH was the nearest vet clinic to my house, so I gave them a call to discuss my options. They were very kind and helpful by phone. They were also able to see me that afternoon nd helped me through what was a very difficult and emotional time. Every single member of the staff was kind, empathetic and sensitive, even when I couldn't even speak with tears running down my face. I hope each member of that incredible team reads this review and understands 1. the work they do is important, 2. that they were all amazing and 3. that I personally truly appreciated all of them and their care during such a sad, emotional and painful time. Thank you. I have another dog (Gracie's twin sister Greta) and you can bet that NSAH will be where we come for her care in the future.
