How to Save Money at Animal Medical and Surgical 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.

Dr Read and his staff have been caring for my animals for many, many years. They have always went the extra mile to make sure they are happy and comfortable. My cat Booger lived 21 happy years and my dog Shiloh a blue healer is a spunky 12, thanks to the compassion and caring of Dr Read. I can't imagine trusting any other Doctor with the care of my babies.

They lied and said our dog has heartworms we took him to another vet and he tested negative. They scam you out of your money, 0 out of 10 I do not recommend. One star is even to much, the lady that took him in the back also called my mother out of her name like she couldn't hear her.

We brought our cat in. Thought we had to put him down. He gave us more time to spend with family. Good job! We had already seen another vet with no luck! Will recommend them to everyone I know!

Will never trust them with my pets again. I took my perfectly healthy dog to get spayed here.She died a week after surgery under their care.She never recover after she got the surgery and stopped eating and drinking.I didn't even get her body back. I basically paid to have my dog killed. I wouldn't take my pets here. RIP GIGI

They will get you in the same day if you need. Also they helped my dog through her heart worm treatment and now she is a lot better and running around.
