How to Save Money at Hanging Rock 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.

We were recommended Hanging Rock Animal Hospital when we got our pup. It says a lot when you pup gets excited to go to the vet or even drive by the turn to the vet. They were amazing when our pup had an accident and was in a splint for a while. Recently we switched our cats to Hanging Rock and they were amazing with our one cat who is a very nervous cat Lilo. They moved at her pace the whole appointment. They also embraced our other cat Bug’s big personality. I have recommended them to friends many times.

I travel the extra miles to bring my beloved pets to Hanging Rock Animal Hospital. Not only is the care excellent, but I get the sense that they really care personally about my pets----I remember how Dr. Todd would always kiss my dear MinPin, Pisch, on the head when he was done examining her. He helped her live a happy healthy life until she was 18!

When we moved to Virginia, we left behind a great vet. I never thought we'd find a vet as good, but we did at Hanging Rock! They've been caring for our dog for over 1.5 years now, and she is medically difficult (with multiple issues) and not the best patient. The vets (Dr. Honeycutt and Dr. Snuffer) and all the staff at Hanging Rock are kind and just so amazing. I can't recommend them enough.

I love "Dr. Todd" Czarnecki. He is personable and cares about my animals. I have been a client for over 10 years. Dr. Honeycutt helped me care for an adopted rabbit named Sunny Bunny who lived to be 9 years old! I'm glad they now have Saturday hours.
