How to Save Money at Animal Dental Specialists of Nevada

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.

After being referred by our trusted primary veterinarian at Boca Animal Hospital for a second opinion on potential tooth extractions years ago, we discovered what can only be described as veterinary dental excellence. One of the things that sets Dr. Hewitt apart is his commitment to staying at the forefront of vet dentistry. His use of cutting-edge approaches and advanced technology, and development of treatment plans saved many of our pets' teeth that other practitioners might have simply extracted. His expertise is quite literally extending our babies' quality of life and longevity. Dr. Hewitt's bedside manner is extraordinary—he has that rare combination of technical mastery and genuine compassion that defines the very best doctors. His willingness to take time explaining the procedures, drawing diagrams, and ensuring we understood every aspect of treatment reflects someone who really cares about both patient outcomes and client peace of mind. His entire team mirrors his professionalism and dedication. From the front desk staff (Sydney) to the veterinary technicians (Tyler and the other nice gentleman that helped), communication throughout procedures is exemplary. They keep you informed at every step and seek proper approval before any treatment—a level of transparency and respect that should be the standard but, sadly, is often rare. It's no wonder people travel from across the country to seek Dr. Hewitt's expertise. Having the privilege of accessing this caliber of specialized care right here in Las Vegas feels like a tremendous gift to our pet community. We are clients for life. As long as Dr. Hewitt continues practicing, our pets will receive no other dental care.

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Hewitt and all of his staff. I highly, highly recommend for anyone looking for a veterinary dentist. My only complaint is that Dr. Hewitt doesn’t do general practice. He’s knowledgeable about every area of veterinary care. He’s patient and incredibly thorough. I’m so happy I made the choice to see him.

Dr Hewitt and his entire staff are first class! From the moment we walked in the door with our dog, Bailey, they made us feel as if we were part of their family. They kept in touch with us every step of the way and let us know what was happening with our pet before during and after surgery. Even after we had taken her home, they called to check on her. I will never take any of my pets to anyone else for dental care!

They are all very sweet and care very much for my kitties. Our one kitty Phantom was in such pain it was very difficult to hear her scream. We went to Dr Hewitt and he fixed her right up. Our other kitty Gauge is new to him and we are working on getting her better. We like Dr Hewitt a lot he is straight to the point and knows what he's talking about. Thank you so much Dr Hewitt and Steph from the bottom of our hearts for being there for us. RJ & Ron Carwile PS: This picture is of Phantom she weighed about 5 lb when we took her to Dr Hewitt.

My kitty, Special Khae loved the visit. Dr. Hewitt knows everything possible about Stomitus. Illustrations were used. No rush through on our visit. I left knowing I had found the best doctor in town for Dental issues.
