How to Save Money at Klaich Animal Hospital Reno

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 were near Reno while traveling when our dog started to have some major issues. We were told by an emergency clinic that she needed immediate surgery. Klaich was able to get us in the next morning when everywhere else had yet to even call us back. Dr. Catterson and the whole team at Klaich were compassionate, timely, and communicative about our options. They did not insist on redoing the tests performed at the emergency clinic, and were transparent about pricing. I would highly recommend their services, whether routine or emergency.

Front counter staff is very attentive. The doctor was very responsive. I have an old girl who had to have a couple procedures done. She's my first dog with my wife so she was basically our first kid. Doctor Nicole seems to genuinely care about animals and even spoke to me twice on the phone.

I am literally crying writing this. I had such a great experience here today. It was our first visit. My dog recently got so traumatized at Banfield that she didn't even want to step foot into the vet. She does have a history of not liking getting her nails trimmed. The technician immediately saw her stress and adjusted accordingly. The vet Dr. Whalen came in with so much excitement and acceptance (and cheese wiz). That it really calmed down my dog, Birdie. I had previous recommendations from Banfield that didn't seem accurate and she assured me of my feelings. They were able to lovingly get her temperature and check everything as well as some vaccines with no issues. They then took her in the back to attempt a nail trim with a back up plan of a gentle approach! Ugh! Love them! I assumed they wouldn't be able to complete many nails because she hadn't had enough meds to calm her but Birdie came out not even 5 minutes later with all nails trimmed. No quicks clipped. The amount of care and attention is unmatched in the Reno area. I have so much relief they are willing to work with vet hospital anxious dogs. GO HERE!

I can't express enough how thankful I am for the whole staff at Klaich!! Both of my pets have complex chronic medical issues and Dr. Nichols has always been so knowledgeable, compassionate, professional, and generally all-around amazing. The front desk staff is such an awesome and friendly group and the pharmacy team is so quick at filling prescriptions and letting you know when they're ready. It's so amazing when a vet office truly cares about the animals they're taking care of and takes the time to really listen to pet owners and handle pets with care and compassion. Truly the best vet ever :)

I have been to half a dozen vets over the years.All of them were competent but I haven’t been completely happy with any of them. Some have been very expensive, others have started the practice of dropping your pet off but never actually seeing the Vet. My son had been going to Klaich and was very happy with them. So when we got a new puppy I decided to give them a try. The office was clean and spacious enough to have 3-4 pets and owners waiting. We were seen after a 10 minute wait. The veterinary asst. saw us first and took the basic info. Dr. Haggblade then came in and discussed our needs and wants for our new puppy. She was very knowledgeable and explained everything she wanted to do. Communication was open and friendly. She was very sweet and gentle with our pup. We were very happy that we had made this choice for a Vet. I was prepared for a fairly high bill for the initial visit, and the meds. I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonable the visit was.Considerately less than I expected. Overall, we are delighted with our choice to go to Klaich. We highly recommend them.
