How to Save Money at Holladay Veterinary 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.

I feel like I can’t NOT write about how wonderful and caring the staff at Holladay Vet are. Our 2 year old corgi Max unfortunately had a cracked and infected tooth that needed to be extracted. We decided to wait a little bit longer to get it extracted so we could have the surgery with our dog’s vet versus going somewhere else to get in sooner. I was such a nervous dog mom having him be put under anesthesia because you never know what will happen. When we got to check in, Dr. Pratt’s surgical technician Kim met us in an exam room to get Max checked in and answer any questions we had. She took her time making us feel comfortable, and awhile later (we didn’t feel rushed at all!) we were on our way out leaving our baby’s life in their hands. And we felt so good about it. Kim was so knowledgeable about everything we asked, and made us feel so comfortable that Max was going to be in good hands! Throughout the time he was at the vet, they texted me updates and pictures on our little guy. And that helped so much with my dog mom anxiety! Even when we picked him up after surgery, they took the time to explain the post-op care and made us feel empowered to take care of him to the best of our ability. I also need to brag about Dr. Pratt. He is so kind and comforting. Any time he has needed to call about Max he has explained everything to me in a way that I fully understand and also made me feel like he cared so much. He’s compassionate about being a veterinarian and it’s obvious he loves all of his patients. He has such good bedside manner (if that’s what it’s called for a vet!) I feel so grateful we have Holladay Vet as our dog’s vet. They are caring, comforting, and kind. They care so much about their patients that I would feel comfortable leaving my pup in any of their hands. I would recommend them to everyone!!

I had such a great experience at Holladay. If you are looking for a vet clinic that will be sincerely kind and caring to both you and your pet, I would highly recommend them. They’ve also seemed fair with their pricing from what I can tell from one visit. I especially appreciated that their urgent care price wasn’t astronomical. When making a final decision on the route of care for my dog, the cost was about $100 more than my budget had hoped for. They helped me to create a different plan of action that was closer to what I could spend while still being able to provide him with the adequate care he needed. Ok, now that I’ve covered the basics of what people are usually looking to find out from a Google review, here comes a probably long winded retelling of my positive experience with Holladay. My dog is a senior guy, about 16 years old. He was having some tummy troubles that were kind of hard to determine if he needed medical help or if it would clear up on us own. I love him immensely and especially worry about his well-being with his age, but like many of us these days the financial struggles are very real and keeping a roof over our head is always a big concern as well! I recently moved back to this area and hadn’t needed to establish a new vet clinic for him yet. I did some research and called around to a few places so I could get a better idea of what the bill for his care was going to be like. From the moment I began speaking with Ashley, my first impressions of Holladay were very high. Without any obligation to, she went above and beyond to have a personable and very helpful conversation with me. I have terrible phone anxiety, so it was relieving that speaking with her felt more like a conversation with a friend. (Actually, I don’t even like talking to my friends on the phone. So I guess it was even better than that!) I decided to bring him in for an urgent care visit the next day. Everyone I interacted with was friendly. I believe our vet was Dr. Crawford (I’m so bad with remembering names unless I write them down) She and the vet tech who took care of my boy were great. They definitely have that personality and demeanor where you can tell that they truly enjoy and care for animals. They had great bedside manner with my nervous old man. The visit was done very efficiently while also giving me the opportunity to ask any questions I had. They were able to help my guy start feeling better right away. After I got my dog home he was able to have the longest and most peaceful sleep that he’d had in many days, and he’s improved greatly since. I’m so relieved to see him acting more comfortable and spirited again, and knowing that he’s going to be ok. Thanks so much everyone at Holladay for taking good care of Austin! We’ll be back in May for a regular check up. :)

This was the best vet visit I have had, maybe ever. My dog is difficult and they treated him with so much kindness and care and never made us feel bad for being difficult. They were so good with him! And even though we got bad news they were awesome every step of the way.

Honestly, I would love to give this place a 5 star review. The positives are with the staff. The vets and staff do seem to care a lot of about the animals. When you go in there, they are always smiling and greet you as you walk in. They are always kind and very welcoming. They are the reason this place is 3 stars and not 1. However, the price of this place is ridiculous. My first slap in the face was my most recent appointment. Some back story and my first red flag of this place was looking to get my dog spayed here. They gave me an estimate of $900! That was an ESTIMATE, meaning it could go higher! I had to put down a $150 deposit and we decided to cancel, so I had a $150 credit on my account. Fast forward to my most recent appointment, I was getting annual shots for my 1 year old. When it was all done, the tech told me it would be 60 bucks. I told them to take it off the $150 credit I had and call it good. She told me "oh that includes the credit. its 60 bucks with the $150 credit." I was taken aback honestly. Sure there was something extra with the visit but to be over $200.... I remember a time when it was 90 bucks to get all the vaccines for your pup. I am sorry but I will need to look for another vet, a place where the administration who sets the prices cares as much about the pets as the local staff do and not about their bottom dollar. All in all, if you can afford it, for here and they will help you but go in knowing it will not be cheap.
