How to Save Money at Whitehills 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.

They were very accommodating when my cat Blue was not feeling well. They had set up an appointment the same day I called in. They followed up to check in the next day if everything was okay. All the staff are amazing, friendly, understating and want nothing more but to make sure your pet will get in better health.

Amazing staff- they go above and beyond. I can't say enough. I had an older dog with a lot of health issues, they were always there for us. I trust them 100%- no upselling, guilt trips. It's about my pet and what's best for them. I feel very fortunate to have them care for my fur babies, wouldn't trust anyone else. Dr Tom really went the extra mile with our geriatric dog, calling after hours on a long weekend to make sure she was OK. He is one in a million.

Thank you for seeing my cat Pookie Thursday morning (Dec 19, 2024) when I brought him in before you opened. He was in so much pain out of nowhere. Dr. Kushner saw him as soon as she arrived to the clinic and after a brief check of him, she immediately offered a shot of sedation to help calm him down and pain relief. Thank you for caring for him while he stayed at the clinic, and doing various thorough tests to determine the problem. Thank you for explaining what pancreatitis is and what can be done to help Pookie during this time. Thank you for the re-check appointment to determine if he was any better the following day (to which he was a bit), and making a plan for next time if this happens again. And finally, thank you for giving me enough medications to get him through the Christmas week and possibly into the New Year. A medical emergency was taken care of as swiftly, effectively and carefully as possible. Thank you.

We love bringing our animals here. We have had animals for all 30 years of my life but we have finally found a vet clinic that makes us feel great when we have to make decisions. We feel properly educated, we feel like they are compassionate, and we always appreciate their great customer service.

Great hospital ever, great service and they truly take care of pets with their heart. Especially Dr. Lam is the greatest doctor ever. Her prompt and sincere service saved my dog's life, I don't know how to thank her. Dr. Lam, I really appreciate your great service again. You are the best of the best, thank you.
