How to Save Money at Pineville Pet 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 vet retired and I have been looking for a new vet. I’ve tried several but was never happy. I took my babies in and love this office! Everyone is so nice and caring! It is so clean and inviting. My babies were not afraid and even loved the dr and his staff. It is our new home. I would highly recommend!Thank you for taking such great care of my babies.

My dog was treated so well! He vomits on car rides and barks, whines, and shakes when not home (Covid Puppy Syndrome??). The staff and Doctor took all the time they (er Romeo) needed. These people really care about and most importantly ‘For’ animals. Thanks, guys! And the Office Kitty was the sweetest! 🫶🤟🤟🤟

We just moved to the area and my dog got REALLY sick over the Memorial Day weekend. When I called the clinic the person who answered was very empathetic, professional, patient, and informative. I brought my dog in that afternoon. There were 2 women at the desk when I got there. I could tell by her voice that the one who had told a customer she was pregnant was who I had spoken to over the phone. Another woman ended up waiting on me. She was extremely aloof and made me feel as though everyone in there was an aggravation to her. I understand that we all have bad days, but a new (or existing) patient shouldn't contemplate walking out the door during check in because of an employees attitude. The doctor, Dr Beth, was absolutely AMAZING. She was very informative, patient, caring to my pet, and sensitive to me and my feelings about the situation. The tech that helped her was very sweet and caring to my fur baby as well. I can't recommend this place enough and the fact that it's a walk in clinic is an added bonus as well. That one sour apple behind the desk didn't make me not want to return because the rest of the experience there was so positive. My dog got an exam, a shot, a cone to stop him from getting to the infected area, and 2 prescriptions to give at home. I was expecting to spend upwards of $300.00. I was floored when I got the total bill because it was not even close to $300. Thank you so much for making your amazing care and concern for everyone's pets so affordable. Other places charge close to what I paid in total just to walk through the front door. I will definitely be keeping this as my dog's vet and recommend them to anyone. Thank y'all so much for making a scary and emotional day turn out so well. The Dr took my worries away and made me feel 100% at ease with my situation. Keep up the amazing work that y'all do!!!

It is like taking your kids to the pediatrician. Prices are reasonable. Can have a little wait time depending on when you go and what you need. Vets are a personal preference, but I would say they are worth a try. After several years, I've never had a reason to not go back.
