How to Save Money at Airport 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.

What a relief! I am so happy that I brought my dog (Charlie) to this office! Rachel and Dr Linder were amazing! They were caring, very knowledgeable, and explained everything in detail. They treated my pup as if he were their own. Highly recommend. 😄

Airport Vet is the best around as far as I'm concerned when it comes to care for my dog. They are friendly, treat you like their next door neighbor, and are very thorough and compassionate when we go in. The vets are fantastic, they explain everything and actually take time to talk to you. I won't go anywhere else.

This is the best vet! Both doctors are so compassionate and caring. You can tell by the way they speak to and about your pets that they truly care and want the best for them. I have never felt rushed into an unnecessary treatment like I have at other vets. The front office and the techs are so sweet.

So disappointed in this place. After taking two cats and our 2 year old pup, we were so saddened at how we were treated during our last visit. I wasn’t going to leave a review and just put this in the past but after thinking about it, we should have gotten a call from the practice revisiting the office visit and offering an apology. After all wouldn’t that be good business? We have a dog who has high anxiety going to the doctors. She is a great pup and full of love but when it comes to going to the vet it is very scary for her. When we came to our last visit we waited for about 45 minutes which did not help with her anxiety. Then when the nurse came in the room she had no empathy when we reminded her that our dog will need to be restrained when shots are given. My husband offered to help hold her but the nurse refused our help. The nurse had no personality and seemed to not like her job. She gave us the impression that we were inconveniencing her. I was left wondering that I’m sure a vet deals with this from time to time as not all dogs are excited about getting shots. Our dog did nip at her after she gave her a shot and the nurse then was so mean about the situation. The visit from there was very uncomfortable. The vet himself could tell I felt horrible as I repeatedly apologized and was in tears. I asked what can we do to make our visits easier on our dog and he then said we need to euthanize our dog. I reminded him that in the past we were offered other solutions but he said to put her down. I was left speechless. It saddens me because our other visits we were left with a feeling that the practice was caring and empathetic about our dog. One assistant even expressed not to worry this happens and we will handle it. The receptionist too even once told me they have dogs who won’t even step foot in the building and they have to walk to the car for shots. Finally, the other vet once told us we can sedate her if need be. But when I suggested that he told me why would I bother to do all that when I should just put her down. So I was confused during this last visit why those options weren't offered and why I was told to put my two year old dog down. What vet would be this heartless to even suggest this. I guess airport vet.
