How to Save Money at The ANNA Wellness Center West

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.

I love all the vet techs and the vets here. My little guy was just neutered and had quite a few deciduous teeth removed and they were so great with him. They knew I was nervous so they made sure to call me right after his surgery to let me know he was doing well. All of the staff I’ve encountered have been very kind and helpful. They went over all of the care instructions with me and it’s obvious that they really care for my little guy and his needs. I’ve gone to other vets and felt they played on my fear and concern for my dog to try to get money from me, but I’ve never felt that at Anna Wellness West. I’m very grateful and think so highly of them 🥰

Terri Baldwi,

We took our kitten here to be spayed. The staff here is wonderful. Very caring and knowledgeable. All of our kitties are rescues. We live in Meadville but it was well worth the drive! I know this organization does so much good. Remember when looking for a pet adopt don't shop!

This is an awesome place. I highly recommend them. Their services are super and the cost is incredible. All these kitties were treated here.

Had a receptionist lie to my face over and over again. Each lie I questioned her on, she got more irrate and rude. After I told her I didn't care anymore and just wanted my animals. She snatched my card out of my hand and slammed it into the machine so hard it broke. I asked her if that made her feel better? And told her I hope she can type because now she has to type in the number. At that point she said I could never come back. At which I laughed. She insulted me. Repeatedly, lied to me. Doubled down, and trippled down on the lies. And then of course, broke my bank card. Why would I go back there? Why would anyone? How would I trust my animals to a place that lies? And then assaults you? No thanks

The wellness center both East and West,and in Corry and the Equestrian rescue do a wonderful job taking care of animals that are in need of varying amounts of TLC. They go above and beyond to help rescue those in need. Not only do they help animals, but they also help people struggling to feed or vet their animals. They work well with local agencies joining forces to help these animals, and when necessary, prosecute those that abuse them. Keep up the great work! Also the Lend A Paw Spa does a fantastic job grooming my golden, Flynn. Brook grooms him and treats him special because he does not like to go in a kennel to wait his turn. He loves people so much, he wants to be with them all the time. She spends extra time with him and plays. He enjoys her and he always looks so handsome when I come to pick him up! Thank you for caring for my dog like I do! Pics of my boy because he is so handsome!
