How to Save Money at Milford 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.

I brought my kitten in as he was itching at his ears. They gave him Tresaderm and Revolution to treat him for ear mites and yeast in his ears. They didn’t swab his ears to check whether it was ear mites or yeast which I didn’t understand. I brought him in again a few weeks later as his ears didn’t get better. When I went in the table was dirty with tuffs of fur/hair from a previous animal and my instinct was to wipe it with my hand before they put my kitten down on the table (I knew nothing about ringworm previously). I would expect the table to be cleaned between every appointment. A few weeks later I noticed an itchy spot on my face and scabs on my kittens face and body and my other cats face. After I did some research I discovered it was ringworm that my kitten and I had contracted from the vet and spread to my other cat. Both of my cats are indoor cats so they wouldn’t of contracted it anywhere else. I called the vet and left a message asking if I could come in and get medication for the ringworm, because it goes straight to voicemail every time you call and you have to wait for a call back which is frustrating, and I never received a call back. I went to a new vet who confirmed the ringworm. I had to give my cats oral medicine for weeks and multiple baths and it took months to get rid of the ringworm in them. I still have it as I am pregnant and can’t take the oral medicine. It has been a very stressful situation that could of been avoided if they cleaned their exam rooms between every appointment. They also let one or two dogs free roam the office including going into exam rooms because they don’t close the door when seeing your pet. Also, you do not get greeted by the vet techs when you walk in and they are not very friendly in general. I would not recommend this vet to anyone. Also want to add my kittens ear problem is still not solved and the new vet swabbed his ear and it’s yeast so we are working through that.

We have been coming here for a few years now. I have 5 dogs so I’m always calling them with questions and appointments. They always take me in even if it’s a last minute thing. Very friendly and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!!!

Note of services they provide, first thing you see is emergency care. (Services provided: Emergency Care, Health Care, Pet Preventive Health Care, Preventive Health Care) My husband took our dog there for a cut on his face and he was told to go to a vet emergency. DO NOT ADVERTISE EMERGENCY CARE IF YOU DO NOT PROVIDE IT!!! It's a waste of all of our time.

We have been going to Milford Animal Hospital for a few years now. Everyone there is so wonderful. The staff is friendly, attentive and transparent. The appointments are always on time, you are in and out, but never feel rushed. It’s really a great practice.
