How to Save Money at Charlotte 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.

Getting 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.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably read hundreds of reviews trying to find the absolute best care for your pet (in my case my two pups). My dogs are my family, and their well-being and care is extremely important to me. Dr. Dugan is not only an incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, but she’s also very compassionate and kind in her practice. It’s rare to find someone with such deep expertise who also genuinely cares, and that compassion shines through in every interaction from the way she communicates to the peace of mind I feel after my pets have been in her care. Stop the search. Book your appointment here you and your pets will be thankful for it.

Dr. Dugan is truly one of a kind! She’s incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and treats every pet with such care and attention. She's been assisting with managing my dog's epilepsy and overall care, and we can't say enough about how amazing she is with him. The office is stunning and everything is brand new, clean, calm, and welcoming, plus her staff is just as wonderful. I wouldn’t trust my pup with anyone else—she’s simply the best!

We brought our sweet pup Peaches to Charlotte Veterinary Hospital, and we couldn’t be more impressed!! From the moment we walked in, every team member we interacted with was kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. We were looking for a place that would take the time to explain our dog’s health and options clearly and think proactively, and that’s exactly what we found here. Dr. Dugan and the whole team made us feel so comfortable and confident in the care Peaches was receiving. It’s clear they truly love what they do, and we are SO glad we found them. Couldn’t recommend more- best vet visit ever!

Could not be more thankful we found this vet for our pup Sadie! All of the staff was so kind and helpful and really appreciative of Dr. Dugan taking the time to thoroughly explain what is needed for our dog and the best next steps to make sure she can make a full recovery. Highly recommend as your pet will be in great hands!

Dr. Dugan and her entire staff are amazing! They all greeted me with smiles and answered my questions thoroughly. My dog usually gets slightly nervous for the vet and he pranced around like he owned the place. I know this is because Charlotte Veterinary Hospital staff and Dr. Dugan treat every pet that comes in like their own!
