How to Save Money at Parkways 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.

I was referred to this vet place by my neighbor. Dr. Iqbal is a very professional & kind doctor and takes care of my pet dog (Danny - Labrador) with extreme care. Doctor is very knowledgeable and prescribes perfect remedy/medication based on the health symptoms. For the past 2.5 years, I have been knowing and referred few of my friends (pet parents) also and they are also very happy with the Doctors perfect treatment with care! Front desk executive is also very kind enough to make the appointments whenever possible in case of urgent needs. Overall, I strongly recommend to the pet parents to this vet clinic.

Was in town to pick up 2 kittens I had purchased from a breeder. Brought them here immediately after to get checked out, get their shots and also deworming. Staff is friendly and Dr. Iqbal was very nice. Definitely recommend.

After switching vets 3-4 times in the first year of my Frenchies life, I began bringing him to Dr. Iqbal and haven't looked back since. She is a perfect representation of the type of person who should be in this field. I truly believe you have to have a special touch to be successful in animal health care and Dr. Iqbal has exactly that. Needless to say, the past 2.5-3 years of working through my dogs very complex health issues has shown me time and time again how kind, honest, caring and passionate she truly is in her work. Me and Hermes appreciate you so much Dr. Iqbal!

I never write reviews but I do it in appreciation to the wonderful service received from the Parkways Animal Hospital. When searching for a vet after adopting my cats, an animal lover recommended me this Hospital. Since day 1, Dr Iqbal treated my babies with love, compassion and care. She always took the time to explain what was happening and which medical options were available. A year ago, Dr. Iqbal treated Moo Moo for an eye infection, in no time he recovered and went back to his happy energetic self. However, I get to better know Dr Iqbal and her amazing crew when Moo Moo had to be hospitalized for a Lower Urinary Track Disease. During his time at the hospital, I was allowed to visit my cat as long as I wanted, Dr Iqbal used to call me (sometimes at midnight) to provide updates and helped me to understand and to cope with the situation. As I stayed long hours at the Hospital, I could witness how knowledgeable and plain wonderful Dr Iqbal was with every single pet she treated. You can tell she and her personal love animals. The Parkways Animal Hospital puts the caring bar very high; I have never seen that commitment to Health and Well-being in any other health institution (for animals or for humans). Although the prices are affordable, it is more accurate to say that the Hospital provides more care than the costs reflected in the invoice. The loving and compassionate service we received is truly invaluable. Needless to say that I trust Dr Iqbal and I will come back as long as she would accept to treat my cats!
