How to Save Money at Animal Hospital on Hwy 11B
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.

Wow! What a dive! I brought my dog there to get put down two weeks ago. The girls were not compassionate, they barely said three words to us. During a time of sadness and heartbreak, they had no remorse. Straight to business. They couldnt even say "sorry for your loss".They did not give a receipt. I had my dog's paw print ready for pickup today, I go and pick it up and it is the most ugliest thing I've seen. I was expecting a paw print on a plaque with her name, it is so badly made that it looks like a preschooler made it. I also asked for a lock of her hair, they forgot. My heart is so broken, if only I could go back in time and find another vet who would have passion in what they are doing, and sharing condolences. Someone who will take the time to create my dog's paw print with love. This was my child, not just a pet I wouldn't recommend going there. Do better! These are people's children, have more passion in what you are doing. And show the people what to expect back!

We met Dr Cat’s team under very difficult circumstances. We recently moved to the area and had a senior dog who went downhill very fast. They were having a crazy day with emergencies but we’re able to fit us in to euthanize our boy. Terrible circumstances to go to a new vet but they were amazing and even with all of the COVID procedures going on we knew he was in the best hands. Thank you to the team for all of the morale support you gave us!

Very Thankful today for the staff's care and attention to detail. I had visited for some certificates for international travel. I made some pretty large oversights on the documents and they were incredibly patient with me as they helped me sort out the issues. Thank you again!
