How to Save Money at Hope Springs Veterinary at Pembroke
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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.
Reviews from Google
As we are new to Virginia Beach and we don’t have a Vet yet, Hope Springs really helped our dog Sammy when he needed urgent care. They took care really well of him and gave us proper explanation what the issue was. Most of all they are super friendly, professional and helpful. Thank you!

I absolutely love hope springs! My cat had an appointment this morning with Dr. LaDell and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. The entire staff was super friendly and kind to my pet. Any questions I had Dr. LaDell and her tech (I’m so sorry I can’t remember your name!!) were very thorough with their responses and explaining things in a way that was easy for me to understand. Also, the waiting room and patient rooms were very clean and sanitary. I can’t recommend them enough. Thank you! You all are amazing at what you do and I’m so thankful that have found such a wonderful practice.

Frankie and I LOVE the staff at Hope Springs Vet at Pembroke. You will see him barking with excitement and practically jumping out of the car to go see all of his friends at the vet. They are so responsive, professional and personal and truly love Frankie, which is all you can hope for in a vet. I am forever thankful for this amazing Vet. If you’re a Bulldog Mom or Dad and are looking for a vet, that truly knows and loves the breed, then this is your place! We are so thankful for all y’all do!! - Heidi, Keith & Frankie 😊

Whichever Hope Springs location Dr. LaDell is at (Pembroke or Sajo) I will schedule my "baby's" appointment. The staff at Hope Springs are GREAT and Dr. LaDell is AWESOME! And let's not forget Haley, who is always pleasant and cordial.
