How to Save Money at Woodworth 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.

This is the ONLY vet that helped me in my time of need for my Pet Rats which had to be put down. Made room for us the day we called. Reasonable prices. An very compassionate! I tried the other Animal hospital in town and was basically treated as if my rats weren't of importance......will always be grateful for woodworth. Always recommend them.

I will continue to only come to Woodworth Animal Hospital because of the respect the vet gave my son once he told the vet it was his cat... The vet then only talked to my son during the whole visit explaining to him how our kitten would grow up into an adult cat and how his teeth would fall out the vet even laughed at my son's response to hoping he can find the kitten teeth and have the tooth fairy give him money for teeth that weren't his... The vet then showed my son how to feel the kittens ribs and if they felt too boney to give him more food and test that every 2 weeks. Thank you all for being so respectful and sweet to us when we come in we honestly can't wait to come to the vet again!

Since the onset of Covid the clients have been restricted from being present when their pets are seen and treated. The animals are taken from the owners outside of the building and returned in the same manner. Payments were handed to staff entrusting them to apply to said accounts. I've had 2 very disturbing experiences in this time where it seemed obvious that the pets were not properly seen and evaluated and I was just supposed to "accept" whatever report was given to me in the aftermath. Communication between the vets and responding staff has been poor, and even inaccurate. Likewise has been their communications with me. The results have been upsetting. And in handing cash payments to staff on the outside I was not properly credited for payments, sent bills for money I did not owe, but paid again to satisfy their records. It has been 2 years to determine that I did overpay. And repeated contacts to retrieve my predicament has been ignored. Overall... Dissatisfied with this business.

Our first dog only ever knew Woodworth Animal Hospital, and recently we tried a few vets in C'ville, really did not like the experience, and are so glad to be back at woodworth. Totally worth the drive from Charlottesville!!
