How to Save Money at Hanover 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.

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.

We had to say goodbye to a good girl named shadow on Christmas Eve morning at 2 am , not only were they available. Those 2 wonderful women provided the most outstanding care , where meticulous , and provided compassion that truly hit home. I’m forever grateful to you both and thank you for providing truly the best care for life I have ever seen .

The team at Hanover Veterinary Hospital deserves a round of applause and more. My kitten, Howie, had a medical emergency last week and needed to be seen ASAP. I spoke with several members of their team to get him scheduled in and they were able to see him the same day. Dr. Jacky and her techs were efficient and extremely friendly. Tests were ran and although we didn’t get any definitive answers, I am still very pleased with our visit and the efforts made by the staff. He is back to his regular snuggly, playful, loving self. Kaitlyn reached out a few times after his visit to see how Howie was doing and it really showed me they care about their patients. Avery that works the desk is fantastic aswell. I can’t recommend them enough!

I was fostering a very ill puppy named Owen for adoptapet Lucknow. We knew he wasn't going to be long for this world. We loved him and the rescue gave him the best veterinary care. He was content and happy, then he crashed. Hanover vet clinic took us right in, made him comfortable with oxygen as they checked him over. The rescue, myself, and the attending vet, all agreed it was time to let little Owen go. They were so professional and compassionate and gave my husband, my service dog and I time to say goodbye to him. I was very impressed with the staff and the vet. The clinic itself is very clean and bright.

These lovely folks have been my vet for over 6 years and have been nothing but wonderful. The staff are kind, patient and respectful. They have provided tremendous care to my animals. My dog got neutered this summer and the clinic was tremendously patient to answer all of my questions, including follow up questions. Prices have always been clearly laid out and the staff have always been straightforward. Overall, couldn't ask for a better veterinary experience!
