How to Save Money at Union 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.

Amazing service. We are traveling to Alaska and need to make sure we have everything we need to get there. Helping with our vaccines, check up and travel certification I would suggest using this friendly staff and business. Low price and full staff.

I was so impressed with our experience, from the first phone call to the end of our visit. While waiting in the waiting room you can tell how much they care. It was the end of the day and all of the sweet animals were getting picked up from surgery you could see they were in no hurry and answered all questions and made sure to let everyone know if they had any questions at all to call. It really made me feel at a lease since we were there to arrange surgery. As you can see from the picture, my cat was at ease and this was after his exam. Highly recommend.

One of the best Vet experiences I have had in a long time. We are not even patient's (until now) and they got me in the next day for a dental emergency, provided a thorough exam, and treated the issue immediately without me having to make another appointment. Definitely a nice change from having to wait 5+ hours at the Pet Emergency or 2-3 weeks to get into anywhere else. What's even better is my very anxious dog was more comfortable here than she has been anywhere else we've been. Most places want to sedate or muzzle her but the vet treating us just got right in there without hesitation. So very grateful to have found this clinic.

Union Animal Hospital is an amazing place. Everyone there is so nice to my dog. My dog actually loves going there! He gets really happy around the staff and the doctors. The doctors are very knowledgeable and the staff is always on top of things. I often need random things from them (paperwork for the pet insurance, tests for my dog's boarding, etc.) and they always provide whatever I need very quickly. I also appreciate the fact that they are NOT after your money. I've lost track of how many times I needed to go there because of a new health problem with my dog. Every single time, it was clear to me that they wanted to do what's best for my dog but were at the same time very considerate when it came to associated costs. Very understanding and kind-hearted people. Do not look any further. Tingo and I say thank you to everyone at Union Animal Hospital!

I had multiple questions I thought of after my vet appt. I emailed them hoping for a response. I heard right away from staff that email was received and fwd to Dr. I heard from the vet the same day. She answered all of my questions very thoroughly. I feel much more at ease now for my fur loves procedure.
