How to Save Money at Eagle's Nest Veterinary 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.

As I can not reply to reviews made I would like to say to the man that is slandering a receptionist that has always only ever had the best interest of the animal and people she’s around, it is no one’s fault but your own if you have not established vet care before hand. To place blame when you yourself could have made your animals life last and be better by taking him to the vet for check ups is cruel and awful. The girls at this establishment are amazing and I could not ever say enough good things about them.

He's the first very who could handle our tortie without getting mauled. She behaved for Dr. Church and he helped her a lot. We're from out of town and appreciate his care. Got as veteran's discount too

Emily is FANTASTIC! Tom C. will only see and express how you didn’t help him when he was in need. Tom may never understand that he is directing his guilt, frustration and anger for himself onto you. Tom will vilify others for his lack of control in this very difficult situation. Tom is someone who is in pain, who is afraid and who is angry. Common sense tells me that if he had a vet check on his bird regularly he would have been able to get in to see his vet to help his transition in the most peaceful way possible. He may have even known this was coming and helped the bird not suffer. In the end he didn’t get the answer he wanted, so he hung up on you and gave a bad review. Don’t be like Tom. Emily keep on keeping on because for all the “Toms” out there you have to know there are 10 people who you’ve helped, Impacted positively and given compassionate and professional guidance.

I called them to ask if they would assist in euthanizing my sick parrot. Because my parrot wasn't a patient there they said "unfortunately we don't have the time to do that" I sat in my home and nurtured my parrot as he suffered and later passed away. Very in humane business.

Just received a reply from Emily at this establishment. So nice to know that you have the time to go onto Google and reply to one star reviews but don’t have time to assist the public with their pet needs. Give it a rest Emily and get back to work! Customers beware!
