How to Save Money at Veterinary Medical 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 had taken my boxer here for 11 years. They cared for him his entire life, from routine matters to a couple emergency services. The staff and doctors are wonderful. I recently had to help my best friend cross the rainbow bridge and the staff was so accommodating and kind- even staying late to ensure I had the time with Zeus that I needed. The process was painless and very peaceful for my pup. They also have cremation service onsite which is comforting. Zeus and I would recommend 10/10.

Love that I can check in online and come when it's my time so I don't have to wait!! But they have treated my diabetic dog and did a great job getting her back on track and performed surgery on my other dog and also did a great job.

Walk-In Only vet clinic, makes it easier for people with unpredictable schedules. However fills up quickly, try to get on the wait list before 1 pm. They're very busy, knowledgeable, and efficient but very in demand. Sometimes the wait list is maxed out by 1 pm for the day.

Thanks for all that you do. I know some pet owners get frustrated waiting by the wait time but that should be expected at a walk in office. I've had to wait too but I always have had great service. Thank you for what you do for the pet owners in the community.

I started taking my 3 dogs here back in 2011 because it just got too hard to schedule appts at my regular vet and it was SO expensive with 75, 90, and 120lb dogs. My vet actually referred me here and I have been so happy. Besides their routine care, they have done a spay, a neuter, a few illnessness and eye infections, and an emergency tail amputation. Three weeks ago, my 15 year old pit bull went from fine to not fine in a matter of days and I decided it was time. I was a wreck and the whole staff there couldn’t have been more kind or compassionate. I was able to get a private cremation done on site so I could keep his ashes, as well as order a keepsake ceramic pawprint. When I came back to pick them up, everyone was SO nice again, they explained how to bake the pawprint (which was lovely by the way and also had his name stamped into it and was in the shape of a heart) and the ashes were in a cute pawprint tin. Everything was personalized with his name and hearts. A few days later, I received the most thoughtful (also personalized) sympathy card in the mail. These people care about you and your pets. Yes, you have to wait sometimes…but you also didn’t have to make an appointment. And they charge more than reasonable prices and treat everyone so nice (even me when I come in trying to wrestle a Chow Chow and a Cane Corso through the door lol).
