How to Save Money at Reno Hospital For Cats

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.

This is my first ever cat, Miso! The animal medical center made everything very easy for me as a first time owner, and the prices for the services seemed reasonable.

The staff really cares about their patients and when we put down my cat they were so kind and never rushed us, letting us take our time with him.

While the vets themselves seem fine, I feel as though I have to say that the office staff was awful. From the front desk being terribly condescending to the follow up care, I would never recommend anyone go here, especially in those tender moments with a sick animal. I was told after my appointment that the staff would call me the next day to check on my dying pet. I received a text message asking if I had questions, but when I wrote back immediately with questions, they never responded. I finally called several hours later and they said they “were too busy to check the texts.” Why have that system then? I was told to wait a day and they’d call to check on us the following day, but I never heard from them. I tried to call back to see what next steps were for my ill cat and no one ever returned my voicemail. I ended up getting a second opinion somewhere else. I hope that this feedback reaches the vets or manager so that they can assess their system of communication

We won't go anywhere else. My 13 year old, somewhat disabled tabby Ben was not eating well for almost a week. After calling around we decided to make an appointment online and bring him here and are so glad we did! Very impressed at the level of care, attentiveness and knowledge the Doctors and nurses here posess. You can tell the staff here love cats and know what they're doing. As an added bonus it was very quiet while waiting, no loud barking like at other pet hospitals to give my kitty more anxiety being in his cage and the difference really showed! He was calm getting out his cage and not stressed like previous experiences. I like that they have little stands right at the front to set your kitty cages next to you and off the floor. I also love that Dr. Warley took her time and did a thorough hands-on and visual exam and asked questions which shows how much she cares. She also gave us some great recommendations on how to adjust his diet as a senior kitty and a few days later he was back to his normal self. Thank you so much Reno Hospital for Cats for truly caring for our furbabies and letting us be there with them
