How to Save Money at Central 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.

Took my fur baby here a few days after picking her up from her breeder. Everyone was friendly and gave me all the information I needed. It was important for me to find a good vet because this is my first dog-ever and I want to be a good mommy to her. Central was highly recommended by my coworkers. I'm confident they will provide the best care to my Sweet Tea Darling.

I take my fur baby there for everything. My dog is a smaller breed & she had teeth issues . I didn’t even know it that my pup was in pain until the doctors explained it to me after I took her in for a teeth cleaning . They always take such good care of my baby in so happy they are so close in the neighborhood. This is my go to place for care but also I get my flea stuff there online. The place is clean & new & staff is great ! Thank you !

Service: Dog grooming My entire experience was great. Appt: Was able to get an appt. within a few days of my call (human answered the phone). Shots: Was able to send shot info digitally in advance (yeah!). Reminders: Text reminder about appt. (yes!) Drop off day: Quick, positive vibes upon drop off... Pick up: Was not notified when dog was ready, but called to check and dog was ready. Picked up immediately after arrival... Overall, excellent experience. Will use the service again!

Very kind and professional staff. We have taken all of our pets to them for years. This includes routine check-ups as well as to address any health problems. They do a fantastic job and always spend quality time explaining our pet's conditions and treatments. They are well organized and appointments run on time. 5 stars all the way!

This is where I take my Registered Service Animal Kilo Bear. Kilo is the most important part of my life so his health is paramount to me. He got his first vaccinenations here and just like a kid being taken away for a routine exam by the doctors I was quiet nervous but all the Vet techs came back with him and the Vet and said how beautiful and well behaved and friendly he was. I would most definitely recommend this place if you want the best for your non human family members.
