How to Save Money at East Charleston 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.

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.

We've used a couple different vets in town but Dr. Julie and her staff are the absolute best. They go above and beyond every time. Dr. Julie is very thorough in explaining everything and always takes time to answer questions. We are so grateful to have a wonderful veterinarian to care for our babies.

I was there Monday 1/29/2024 in the morning. I had to wait for 3 hours even it was emergency because I did not had a appointment. My dog was blooding in her mouth. Anyway we saw the doctor Julie and she said my dog have a tumor in her lower jaw and then she took a x-ray to conform. Doctor said she could not help my dog then gave a phone number for specialist and a name for medison to stop her blooding which I bought at E-bay (which took 4 days for delivery) that was all she did for my dog. I brought two dog at the time and she look at the the other dog and his tooth need pull it out. she gave us a quotation for pulling tooth out. I paid $238.00 for the 30 min. service for phone number, name of medison and quotation. Next day I called the specialist and made a appointment for 3 weeks later because that is all they had. I called Dr. Julie again and try to get some pain killer for my dog but they never return my call even I called 3 times. I understand there is nothing she can do for tumor but at least she should give me a return call and maybe a pain killer for my dog because we need to wait 3 weeks to see a speialist. Here is invoice and a quotation she gave me

I recommend her to all of my clients and the mobile dog groomer. She really knows what she's doing and I've never had a problem in fact always the opposite she really cares about animals and she knows her stuff. . Her new office is great as well

The only vet in town that actually has your dog’s best interest at heart. Not in it for the money, no BS, and an incredible sense of empathy for your pet. We rescue dogs and she believes in what we do. I just can’t say enough nice things about her. My dream is to move back east so I could be closer to my family (Vegas just isn’t for me. I need the beach in my life). However the only thing holding me in Vegas is Dr Julie. It’s no secret. I just can’t imagine finding a veterinarian like her back home. So I am in Vegas for the duration, because my dogs mean the world to me. They are my children. And she is a part of our rescue family.

I'm really relieved and grateful to have found Dr Ylarde's practice. She and her team are caring and succinct. Dr Ylarde's expertise in behavior brings additional depth and dimension to her diagnoses and treatments. Office operations hours may seem to be a tight window - know that this is a small practice that provides QUALITY care. This means that maintaining reasonable hours is a critical part of the equation. As with any Drs office, make an appointment for your pet's and your best experience.
