How to Save Money at Nepean 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.

We have had great experiences at Nepean Animal Hospital! Dr. Benjamin is so kind and gentle with Chips and the vet techs and receptionists are great. Appointments are easy to schedule, the office is impeccable, and prices are reasonable.

Thank you for taking us in when our vet was fully booked! All the staff was very kind and smiling. My cat Salomon is doing so much better! The price was very decent and I am very satisfied with the service received. Going to the vet is scary and my cat left the vet in a great mood very perky and curious.

My normal vet is Chapman Mills, but was referred here to see Dr. Robert Ostrowski for my French Bulldog that was experiencing neck/back pain. Not only were they able to fit me in same day (I think that was just my luck.) But, he was quick to notice and identify the problem my girl was experiencing. He was very thorough in his diagnosis and I felt extremely comfortable and at ease after meeting with him. The front staff were also great to deal with, both on the phone and face to face. I would highly recommend both Nepean and Chapman Mills Animal Hospital to anyone that is looking for a consistent, well priced, and safe place to bring your pet.

Dr Jones & Dr Benjamin are some of the best veterinarians that I've ever been to, and with how many animals I've had, I've been to quite a few different vets. They take time to make your pet feel comfortable before poking and prodding at them. They're great with my reactive dogs, and take the time to explain everything thoroughly to you. The vet techs are amazing as well, always very friendly. And the staff at the front desk are great. 10/10 recommend Nepean Animal Hospital.

I have never had a positive experience here with my rescue dog. The first time we took our dog here the vet had communicated with us that he's deaf and it is not due to an ear infection and everything looks clean. The vet then contacted the rescue and told them that he has redness in his ears and we should watch for itching. The second time we brought him in we informed them that he is deaf and the receptionist there continued to tell me I was wrong about my own dog. She kept repeating that he could hear because he was looking around the room she noises were being made. We asked for an update while our dog was there getting neutered and they sent us away and told us they'd call us when he's ready and wouldn't provide us with any update as to how he is or when he will be ready. She wouldn't even go in the back to check if he's been in surgery or ask any of the techs anything regarding our dog. Not even 15 minutes later as soon as we got home they call us to tell us they can't do the surgery because he isn't responding well to the medications. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Take your pets somewhere else.
