How to Save Money at The Pet Hospitals

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.

The care team as well as the other essential employees at the Collierville location are exceptional. The team is strong advocates for animal welfare and health. The staff and especially Dr. Weimer are so friendly, knowledgeable and empathetic. I could go on for days on how wonderful this clinic and its staff are and also how much the staff cares for not just the furkids but also the furrrr-parentals. I trust no one else with our "Pack" brood especially since they include a 2 border collies (one puppy, one full grown with a hearing disability), 1 Tibetan Spaniel mix that has a seizure disorder and one Puggle and one Chipin. This pack of babies are all rescues and this clinic gives us a sense of relief that "all" are being well cared for with the latest veterinary medical practices, digitization of veterinary medicine as well as educating furrr-parentals how to best care for and preserve the lives of these precious beings. Thank you Pet Hospitals of Collierville. I sure know that Mike, Oliver, Izzy, Jett and Zig sure do.

Dr. Kimble and vet tech, Alexis, were more than I could have asked for for my sick baby. I truly felt like they treated her as their own pet, and she felt so comfortable with them, which says everything. They were very transparent, clear, and didn't feel like my money was just trying to be taken. 10/10 great experience.

Jacob was amazing yesterday. I brought my puppy in because he wasnt feeling well. I'm a new mom pet so I wasn't sure if my Trupanion insurance would cover certain services, he assisted me by looking up the policy with me and helped me with the whole process. Way to go above and beyond!

Our beloved elderly dog Missy Sue passed away on Saturday and my daughter was frantic and drove to the Collierville location and they were closed due to a power outage. However, Dr. David Wright and office manager Joanne were on-site and were amazing in assisting my grieving daughter. Most places are not that helpful with the power on it seems these days so kudos to David and Joanne!

Dr. Cox and the entire team are truly incredible! Last year our lab was diagnosed with lung cancer, and unfortunately we had to say good bye to him. Dr. Cox and the team were so friendly, caring, understanding and supportive in the most difficult time. A couple weeks later, I received a letter of condolence from Dr. Cox. I was completely taken back at the kindness they showed. Now we have brought a new member into our family. She is a 10 week old lab puppy. I took her in for her first visit and puppy shots last week, and again was blown away at the kindness and professionalism of this team. They will forever be our family’s vet!
