How to Save Money at Park 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.

Dr Holly when above and beyond in caring for our little Schnoodle. We were blessed she was available and accepted us in an emergency last weekend. Currently we are working on fill up care under her guidance. Her kindness, compassion , skills and knowledge are amazing. She was so gentle with David. His diagnosis was explained clearly. X-rays were available along with an example of what healthy views should look like. We felt like David was her one and only concern. The staff was helpful, efficient and like Dr Holly gentle and caring. As we move forward with a specialist, I am confident with her referral. Once we get this issue taken care of we will be back to Page Animal Hospital. We had another veterinarian who wasn’t available during our emergency. My husband and I are both very pleased that Dr Holly will accept David to her practice. No complaints with prior veterinarian. This is just a much better match for our little guy.

We love Dr. Holly and the entire staff. They are all so patient, caring and loving for our little poodle Daisy! Dr. Holly is always able to diagnose Daisy’s health issues as she is getting older. We are blessed to have such great care for our wonderful dog!

I can’t say enough about the care the Doctors and Staff have given to our family. Our year and half Labradoodle Shea was admitted on Friday with an intestinal blockage. Her condition was touch and go Friday night to a point we didn’t think she would make it. On.Saturday the Doctors were able to conduct a successful surgery. We can’t thank them enough with the care and support they provide.

I trust and rely on all the Drs, Having been my animals' vet for over 30 years. I do have an issue with their business methods and policies that will ultimately cost them dearly. Yes, their prices are a bit higher but I feel worth the few extra dollars. Issues, Their business methods are mid 20th century. Their billing system has difficulty in separating out into two invoices if you bring in 2 animals at the same time for treatment. 1.They claim to send reminders for vaccines but somehow never received them. ( They also claimed to have called and left a message. If it was on the home number that they were told not to use they got a fax machine. ). 2. They seem to have a problem with suppling prescriptions to outside sources. They force you to pick up a written one if you want to use a service like Chewy to fill meds. Are they Vets, or Pharmacists? 3. e-mail is a mystery to them although I've mentioned it to the Drs. many times. My personal physician(s) maintain e mail service through their offices for simple questions, help in renewing a prescription etc. The push back is they would be inundated with constant e mails from their clientele. No, not really; 99 % of your patients have too much going on and it is an option to reply. For the tone deaf that do abuse the system, there are professional ways of dealing with it and the companies that set up systems that address the "obsessive client" in a businesslike manner without losing them.. Having to make a personal visit to have a simple question or issue addressed can be a problem. As Dr. Schroll and Spacino decrease their presence in the business and Drs Holly Schroll and Steven Mercurio increase and ultimately assume the business, there needs to be a serious rethinking of methods that streamline and make vet services easier for patient and provider. It would be a shame to lose Park Animal Hospital because it refused to adopt modern technology for enhancing their services
