How to Save Money at Parry Sound 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.

Dr K Lee is a kind compassionate vet. I love that she discussed prices before running tests on my sweet boy. Dr Lee is very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the test results to me. I would highly recommend Dr Lee and Parry Sound Animal Hospital.

Our dog was quite listless 8 days ago and had a distended stomach. PSAH gave a time late Monday morning when we called at opening. My wife took Teak and our friend from Rochester, who was visiting. Both were very impressed with Dr. Jones. Both have experience with vets and animals. Turns out Teak likely had cancer of liver and spleen. X-rays and blood work so revealed. We brought her back the next day and said goodbye. Dr. Jones and team were great. Crappy day, but well done on their part all round. We live in Calgary and spend August in Rosseau. What a great find!

Well, now we all have to suffer and pay an advance. We want to make an appointment for one of our pats and we haven't been there and over 2 years. But I was there in less than 2 years. And she still would not. Give me the prescript ten for flea medication for my cat. She also wouldn't give me an appointment for my new Pet, a dog because I didn't have the money on me at the time to pay an advance. I'm on pension so I asked for appoint on or about pension day .....I asked her since when do we have to pay her in advance.. She said because people make appointments and don't show up. And thats my problem/fault or all those other people having to pay in advance. Obviously we pay when we pick up our pet or after our pets have been treated. Isn't that when they tell us how much we owe? To ask for payment in advance when we want to make an appointment is ridiculous. I have to look for a new vet. Because of that, 'cause I don't want to get my pension. Then call and make an appointment and find a cat. Get in for 3 or 4 weeks. Which has been the case in the past.. I thought I was being smart asking for an appointment on or about pension day so that I would be able to pay the bill. So discouraging and disappointing.. She did tell me however, that I could get the flea medication at the pet store in town. So that's what I did had. I known you could buy that stuff in the pet stars. Now I wouldn't have went to the vets for it. But I did also go there to make an appointment for my new companion Only to be turned away because I couldn't pay that day.. I already knew I was gonna be putting out close to $200 just for flea treatment for 2 cats, a dog and carpets. I wouldn't have been able to get the flea treatments. Had I paid an advance for my dog to have an appointment to get checked for the first time.

I recently visited Parry Sound Animal Hospital on an emergency basis for my dog, we were a two-hour drive from our regular veterinarian. Without any hesitation, they accommodated us! Dr. Jones, Melanie and Danielle were truly amazing—very compassionate and went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Jones and his team.

We were really pleased to get our dog cared for after an attack by another dog. They were able to see her right away and really treated her well.
