How to Save Money at Manheim Pike 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.

Our cat required emergency care after exhibiting strange symptoms. Our usual vet was fully booked, but they recommended the folks at Manheim Pike Veterinary Hospital. Not only did the vets get our cat in as soon as possible, but they did a wonderful job of keeping us informed about what they found. While our cat required x-rays and surgery, the price was reasonable and itemized for clarity. I am so grateful for the kindness and efficiency with which Manheim Pike Veterinary Hospital treated our beloved cat, and I would not hesitate to return!

I want to thank Brendan, Dr. Le, and the vet tech (sorry that I can't remember her name!) for their exceptional kindness and competence in helping with Edie's passing. My heart is hurting right now, but it helped so much that Edie felt comfortable and cared for right up to the end. Thanks also to the wonderful team at the Leola office -- Dr. Kathy, Dr. Sanjay, and many others who kept Edie going strong for so many years. My family and I really appreciate you all.

I’ve been taking my pets here for 13 years. Dr. Nelms and the majority of the vast majority of the staff are always so kind and compassionate. I say majority because today in-person and on the phone the other day one of the staff who works at a desk behind the front desk (her back facing the front the desk) was quite rude to me. I’ve never had an issue with front desk or scheduling appointments but for some reason this lady seemed to have a rude demeanor and not friendly at all. I’ll continue to take my pets here but I miss the warmth and friendly demeanor of the front desk staff who used to be there.

I will forever be indebted to the staff here at Manheim Pike Vet. Dr. Steed has been my boxer dog Bruce's primary care giver since he was a pup. He is now 9.5 years old and has had his fair share of ailments including mast cell surgery at the age of 4. The detail, dedication, understanding, and commitment this practice has to the animals/family is top notch. I also want to mention Dr. Savage and Dr. Nelms because they both have been a part of Bruce's care and been nothing short of caring, compassionate, and understanding during our visits. Dr. Savage went above and beyond by staying to see Bruce in a serious situation recently and did not make us feel rushed at all that evening. Matter of fact completely opposite! Another thank you to the staff behind the scenes because they too have been wonderful. If you are considering new practice for your fur babies, look no further because this practice is in my opinion the best out there. Thank you staff at Manheim Pike Vet
