How to Save Money at Sunnyside 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.

Dr. Tinsley is so amazing with my anxious dog. He is so excited when we get there. For exams, she gets to his level and just loves on him, most of the time you can’t even tell she’s doing the exam because she is just making my pup so happy! I would recommend Sunnyside Vet Hospital to anyone!

My pup got her nail caught in something as she was jumping to the floor tearing it almost off. I bandaged it as best I could until I could get her to the vet. SUNNYSIDE got her right in to see Dr Hill. He was so good with her gave a topical anesthetic so he could finish removing her torn nail, gave her a shot of antibiotics, some pain medication to take home wrapped her foot well, explained everything, patiently answered my questions, gave me instructions after making sure I was comfortable taking care of her…I used to have a small sheep farm and assisted the vet quite frequently… so yes I felt able to follow his instructions knowing I could always call if I had any questions, or bring her back as needed. My pup healed beautifully. I was so thankful Dr Hill was available and was able to see her. The clinic staff were so caring and kind. I believe Sunnyside Veterinary is the very best.

The front desk staff is very impolite, impatient, and rude. The actual vets and nurses are some of the most wonderful and kind people you'll ever meet and is the only reason I keep going there. I haven't had an experience without getting attitude for simply checking in.

Be prepared to mostly talk about money the whole time and with each and every employee you talk to. Over $300 down and have zero comfort in the fact I accidentally scheduled here when I thought my appointment was elsewhere. Unfortunately my dog needs help and I got a quick appointment and was just excited for a next day appointment.

Dr. Hill and the staff at Sunnyside Vet are incredible! My cats hate the vet and would always stress out so bad once they realized where they were going but after a few trips to Sunnyside Vet, I noticed a difference in their demeanor. They'd still be stressed, but it would be significantly less. The vet techs are always super kind and compassionate towards a nervous animal and you can tell they're fully aware of how to handle them humanely. The way my cats would come back to me at previous vets, I can only imagine how terribly techs would treat them... They'd come back to me more stressed than when I put them in the car!! But at Sunnyside Vet my cats are calmer after they're brought back into the room and they're just ready to be home - no unnecessary added stress. Dr. Hill is so thorough in examining and explaining scenarios to owners and he's always willing to listen to any concerns and I 100% trust that something isn't worth worrying about if he says it's fine. I couldn't recommend this Vet Hospital enough!
