How to Save Money at The Veterinary 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.

Getting 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.

A few months ago my dog Scooter was dealing with some health issues and TVH was ruling out cancer. It was a very difficult and stressful time for me. I was beside myself with worry and Dr. Berman went above and beyond to answer my numerous questions. She is very positive, patient, and kind. She never seems rushed and takes the time to listen to all my concerns. Additionally, the staff and techs are always helpful! You can tell how much they love animals! I would highly recommend for anyone looking for compassionate, competent, and trustworthy vet care!

Took my pup Finnegan in for a teeth clean and extraction with Dr. Yamada. She did an amazing job! Addressed all my concerns and really made me feel at ease knowing my best friend was in good hands. Everyone on the team was so sweet and amazing, I really felt so welcomed there. We will 100% be returning for any future health needs!

Our first visit here and all the staff made "BellaRose" and her Mama quite relaxed. Her vaccines were updated, ears cleaned and fears allayed about a lipoma. Our family is recovering from a wildfire and health issues. Being able to communicate our urgent needs (vaccine update, etc) without pressure for MORE expenses meant alot to us. We will definitely be scheduling a more thorough physical in the near future. So delighted to find a competent practice just around the corner from home!

Wonderful, caring staff. They take the time your dog and you need. Don't try and take your money if they have an opening, you get it. They don't call it an emergency and charge twice as much.

Best vet experience we’ve had in Eugene. The front desk folks were kind and helpful, the doctor really listened & gave clear instructions for care & the tech had great rapport with my dog & patiently answered all my questions. My dog is sometimes cranky at the vet but they took the time to make friends with her & she did a great job at her appt.
