How to Save Money at Ardmore 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.

Visiting from out of town, had to bring my darling dog Laila in as she was feeling dizzy and unsteady on her feet… was full-on panicked but all the staff at Ardmore Animal Hospital were so wonderful- they saw us right away, were so thorough and full of care, and gave us the exact treatment necessary for our issue. Dr. Ian Hollinshead is incredibly knowledgeable - I wish I lived nearby so they could be our regular vet!!! So thankful we found them and cannot recommend enough.

The staff at Ardmore Animal Hospital are highly competent and very caring. My cat, Harry, is a handful. He turns into a maniac when he needs to go the vet but Dr. Gillin, Vet Tech Thomas and Receptionist Taylor worked so well with us. They make a nasty situation as good as it can be. Thank you!! Kathy

Alistair, my Havanese, and I live in New York, but during the year of the pandemic we lived in Wynnewood with my sister and brother-in-law.. Ardmore Animal Hospital was our wonderful go to vet during that year. This past Thursday, my dog had been groomed in NYC, right before we were to take a car service for a PA visit. The groom told me Ali needed to see a vet. I called AAH. They were able to see him later that day and completely cleared up his problem! How miraculous!

The minute I walked in, my cat and I were greeted warmly by the front desk staff. They adressed my concerns and gave me an appointment right away. At the appointment, I did not have to wait long and the vet Dr G was very informative and thourough with my cat's examination. I could not have asked for a better visit. I am very happy I have a dependable, friendly and reliable vet. Thank you Ardmore Animal Hospital

Our dog Betty is a female German Shepherd who is in the twilight of her life. She was bleeding profusely. Our wonderful vet Dt.G managed to calm us down and really take time figuring out what was wrong with our 10 year old girl. Diagnostic skills when you are dealing with a senior with multiple problems isn’t easy. Dr.G made it seem easy and thankfully Betty seems to me on the mend. The tech team was polite and our inquiries via text were returned in a timely manner.
