How to Save Money at Gasow 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.
Reviews from Google
We have taken our furry family members to Gasow for at least 25 years. There has never been a time when I disappointed about the care my pets received. My current dogs absolutely love "going to see the doctor," and they get so excited. Dogs are a great judge of character, and they have no hesitation to go to the back of the office for treatment or injections. The doctors are very knowledgeable, caring and professional. The vet techs are skilled at handling my dogs, truly top-notch in their field. My girls get happy tail just seeing them! I wouldn't ask Gasow Veterinary Hospital to change a thing! Congratulations on your new building, Gasow Veterinary Hospital!

My dog buddy needed to be seen by a vet ASAP. I called several that and they said they could not get him in that it would be months I called and I explained to this is that and they got him in immediately. They are the best veterinarian staff and that Dr wright is amazing. I would never go to another vet and I have had another veterinary actually too and I wouldn't trade that's about for anything in the world. They treat you with the utmost respect they're great to the animals they have done nothing but walked me through everything that I needed to do with my dog all the way up through physical therapy and everything at the beginning my dog went in basically paralyzed and with the medication and the routine that I was sent home to do with my dog he is now walking again and it is all due to Dr wright and his staff. The picture to the right is when he became paralyzed the picture to the left is him now standing and walking and doing the things that he should be if it wasn't for Dr wright and his staff getting him in as soon as they did he may have never walked again I will be always blessed and grateful to that veterinarian Ellen show this day we will continue to see Dr wright and he will continue to follow up

My puppy’s first visit to Gasow went very well today. I am not surprised, the staff here love what they do, and are well informed and personable. It’s a great relief to me to know that such competence exists in the veterinary field, and that they are so close to home.

We've been so happy with our vet since we made the switch to Gasow! Stayed far too long at our old vet, which was too expensive and unaccommodating. Scheduling appointments is easy at Gasow, and the staff is extremely friendly.

The docs are phenomenal, as is the rest of the staff! Always willing to think outside the box and to answer questions in person or over the phone. Very thorough, professional and kind. Looking forward to seeing the new facility!
