How to Save Money at Englehart 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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.

Staff is wonderful the Dr's are beyond amazing! They provide outstanding care to each of my 5 pets - 3 dogs and 2 cats. I do live in a town nearby but the vet in my town is terrible, so I choose to drive the hour to go here because of the love and care they provide. They are always going above and beyond to ensure your loved ones (pets) are being properly cared for and healthy without breaking your bank! Thank you so much for the tremendous work you all do!

We had a great experience brining out newly adopted dog with a rough medical history to englehart animal hospital. We had so many questions and concerns and everyone was so patient and willing to answer all of our questions. The dr even went above and beyond to connect us with a tech that specializes in something our dog needs which was really helpful! We left feeling really good.

We experienced an issue on the weekend, and Dr Rodriguez was wonderful and assisted in helping us sort out the issue, after which we made an appointment to see him, and he was very thorough and understanding. You can definitely tell he loves animals. We are very pleased with the care we received, and would recommend them to anybody.

Nanuk is our baby and when he found himself in front of a vehicle we were so scared. I’ve worked in the veterinary/pet service industry for nearly 2 decades before moving north. I have found that nothing tests a clinic’s quality quite like an emergency. And I am so grateful for the response we received when it was our little guy who suddenly needed help. So from the bottom of my heart I want to thank Englehart Animal Hospital’s entire team for going above and beyond to help Nanuk feel better. They were so accommodating and very fast acting. Professional, kind, comforting, gentle, thorough, and fact based diagnostics were a breath of fresh air during a very stressful moment. My family and I couldn’t be more grateful that our boy is on his road to recovery thanks to this team’s stellar care. The doctor was amazing of course but so was everyone else. You can really tell that they all love animals very much.
