How to Save Money at Grand Haven 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.

Grand Haven Animal Hospital is the fourth vet I have been to due to traveling and moving. They have by far been the most professional and applied a human medical care approach when dealing with my cat. They found a short-term solution to his skin bumps and issues, while seeking a long-term solution to avoid taking pills everyday. I will travel hours out of my way and continue to bring my cat here for the duration of his hopefully, long life. Thank you for making myself and Dale happier again.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND We took our dog in for a tick. It was after hours and they were open still. They got the tick out of our Lil man and was comforting and compassionate.

Dr Jen and her staff were amazing with my cat (Pickles). She needed extensive dental work with many extractions and had stopped eating. They were able to get her in for an appointment quickly as well as improve her health through antibiotics, appetite stimulant and special food prior to surgery. From her dental assessment appointment to surgery was approximately one week. If they were not able to coordinate all the care our cat needed and do it so quickly I do believe Pickles would have passed away. They are an amazing group and I highly recommend them.

I’ve been using Grand Haven Animal Hospital since the '80s, first under the leadership of Dr. Casey Nash and now under Dr. Jennifer Sherrill. Both have fostered a local animal care facility known for compassion and professionalism. This became more evident than ever when I had to care tor two aging cats with terminal health issues over a two-year period. Dr. Jen and her staff understood my reluctance to consider end-of-life decisions until it was best these two much-loved pets and for my family. When the times came say separate goodbyes, on both occasions she and the staff handled this sad process with remarkable compassion and grace. Because of this, It was a fairly easy decision to adopt two new cats, knowing Dr. Jen and her staff will be there for the inevitable health issues and emergencies that come with joys and pitfalls of pet ownership.
