How to Save Money at Animalia Health & Wellness

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 and dedication of this team is unmatched. We took our lab to the rehab weekly his last two years with us and they for sure helped extend his time here and gave him a better quality of life. The rehab team is amazing! The vet is also incredible, everyone is so friendly and helpful. It feels like you’re around close friends and family. They also came to our house to help us say goodbye to our lab last summer. Hardest thing ever but their support and empathy was what we needed. The location is incredible, it’s peaceful and serene, I love it when I’m out there. Highly recommend!

Fear free clinic at its best. That made such a difference with my girl. Treats, treats, treats. Well, that and trazadone. Haha. I've seriously never seen her so relaxed with someone that wasn't me assisting. Everyone was so friendly & informative from the first phone call to the end of the visit. I also sincerely appreciate that the doctor explained everything in detail, and even said, we may still send you to UT. I like being prepared and not yanked around. Seriously. Best vet experience in a while.

This vet is the real deal. My baby was misdiagnosed at another vet with multiple health issues. One requiring surgery and the other being possible heart disease. My world was crashing down… I found Animalia and read all of the other detailed reviews and knew this place was going to be legit but didn’t expect it to feel like home in the ways it did. The entire staff was so incredibly compassionate and the doctor spent what must have been an hour or more with me navigating this scary time. She also showered my dog with love and treats. I swear he didn’t know this place was even a vets office. It really feels like a house with a lot of love in it. It turns out my 3 year old baby has a perfectly healthy heart and does not need any surgery. I am so grateful for my experience and will be calling this place my home vet from here on out.

This is the best vet office ever!!!!! Emily Leahey is so friendly and kind we look forward to visiting every year. The receptionist was particularly helpful, we had lost our kittys folder with all of her paperwork and documents. I asked the receptionist to please print whatever they had on file for her, and everything was there. I am so impressed at how good they are at keeping up with all of their patients documents!! I am very pleased !!!
