How to Save Money at New Horizon 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.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. After trying several remedies over 1.5 months and a visit to our regular vet my cat was not getting any better. I came to new horizon for the first time and was accepted as an emergent walk in. The staff was very nice and understanding, I was so thankful to get in. Dr. Moore was so friendly, educated, and assured me that with Rx cat food there was a 99% chance it would fix the issues my cat was having. I felt hopeful for the first time, and after 5 days on the new food all of his issues were gone! Thank you Dr. Moore for doing what you do, I will continue to come back to New Horizon.

My dog was very sick and they got me in to see them I just a day. I wasn’t working and they did took him in and did an X-ray and found out that he had a cancer. Not knowing either of us they went above and beyond for us. Get family there! I recommend everyone to go there!!

I have been going to this clinic ever since they opened in St. Clairsville. I am happy with the doctors and the treatment but not how they handle the emergency appointment. In spite of charging emergency fee, they give an appointment 4 days after you call. For this reason, I am seriously thinking of changing the clinic.

I love that they are a 24/7 facility. I have had to depend on that when my dogs previously got up in years. My new puppy goes to them now, and the two things negative that has been consistent is a couple techs having very little knowledge (I received wrong info a couple times from one in particular, so I called back after a bit and got to talk to a tech that I trusted bc I recognized her voice. Luckily these individuals usually get weeded out quickly). The second issue is they are never able to schedule very close to when you call in, you have to wait weeks even if it is a particular problem (as if extorting people knowing they will have to pay if they don’t want to be cruel to their babies). Otherwise I absolutely love one of the Veterinarian’s (even though all of them are great) and there are several techs that are awesome and have been there for years. When I see those particular techs or hear them on the phone, a calm washes over me knowing they are knowledgeable and care(just like today, phew). I do wish it was acknowledged how long certain people use their services, because it would definitely make people want to stay super loyal to them like I do with my own care. I myself have spent upwards of $5,000 and we are talking up into 5 digits. 🥴 Picture of my angels who led us to New Horizon, and Lilith who is now their primary care in our household that is left. To many more years and hopefully more babies.

They were very kind and accommodating in our time of heartache and grief. They were delicate with our deceased baby and offered us everything we needed to say goodbye to her.
