How to Save Money at Sound Veterinary Rehabilitation Center

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.

Sound Vet has done fantastic work with my aging Amstaff; I’ve been taking him here for about 10 years! Dr. Knapp is amazing and the entire team here is absolutely top notch. They have helped my best friend live his fullest life and I have surely enjoyed a few extra quality years with him thanks to the care received here, and for this I am forever grateful. As a professional dog trainer, I can confidently recommend all of my clients, friends and family come see my friends at Sound Vet Rehab!!

My dog has been getting acupuncture here for over a year and it is made a world of difference for her. She's 15 and she plays and she runs. Which was not the case before we started the acupuncture.

I would give 10 stars if I could. My GSD had fully torn both of her CCL's when I brought her to Sound Rehab/Animal Surgical and I can not say enough about both groups. Not only was my dog taken care of beyond any expectation I ever had but she has had a pretty miraculous (to me anyway) recovery. Aside from the life long arthritis she will have due to her injuries she is as good as new. She runs and plays and isn't in any pain after having TPLO surgery on both of her knees and rehab after both at Sound. Dr. Knapp was an incredible vet and support system while my dog was a patient there and has continued to help me with questions/advice even long after. She is a wealth of knowledge and couldn't be more helpful and kind. The rehab experience post surgery was excellent. We did the underwater treadmill, laser treatment, and gym time and all were carried out by knowledgable, kind, and attentive staff. We worked most often with Vanessa who was beyond compassionate and supportive and her advice coupled with Dr. Knapp's is the only reason I decided to make a surgery consultation appt. as I was against the idea of surgery at first. I'm so glad I listened to them! I owe my dogs recovery to the team at Sound. I can't thank them enough to have my sweet girl back to her old self and feeling her best!

8 weeks of rehab after TPLO surgery our pup is doing great! Restricting high energy dog is hard, but with their help we were able to give our pup plenty of correct exercises to help her rebuild muscle, without re-injuring that leg.

This place is awesome! They were able to help us with diagnosing our dogs arthritis, are very responsive and I can tell they have the best interest for the dog in mind when recommending treatment (versus just making money like some other places we have been in the past). Dr. Ottinger gave us lots of good recommendations and is helping our guy get treated.
