How to Save Money at Kinard 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.

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.

very disappointed. Will never bring my dog here again. I paid 415$ and they don't even know what is wrong with my dog. They may think that's a little bit of money to them that's 2 weeks of work I have to do. Now I have to take her to Bowman on Monday. She is still crying and yelping and nothing they did helped her. Most everyone was very friendly but I think that was just a front to get more money from me. They said it would cost 8$ to trim her nails they charged 18$. I am now sitting here with a sick dog. I will never come here again. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves it's not all about money you are a vet clinic you should have compassion. Also one other thing that bothered me, they didn't do anything in front of me and they never showed me the x-rayof my dog. So for all I know they could have done nothing for her!!

The unprofessional in this place is unreal, when I bring my pet I expect them to be taken care of! Shouldn’t have to come back over and over to get them fix, healed. The only thing I seemed to hear was $$$$! I also spoke with the doctor, she didn’t seemed to want to rekindle things, she even suggest getting their records together for else where. The staff are rude, the communication isn’t the best. It should be about the animals, what’s in their best interest. Won’t be coming back also wouldn’t recommend.

I just called to ask if, in general, if they declaw cats, as I am on Chemotherapy meds and can't risk infection from a scratch from our new kitten. They said I would have to pay to make an appt and then ask. Most vets have a standard policy on that one way or the other. They should be able to tell me if they do it or not without me having to pay to ask. Not impressed with the lack of customer service I received from the gal who took my call. We won't be taking our animals here.
