How to Save Money at Small 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.

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.

5 Stars – Absolutely Worth the Drive! I recently moved farther away, but I still make the extra trip to Small Animal Hospital—and it’s 100% worth it. The staff is incredibly friendly, caring, and knowledgeable. You can tell they genuinely love what they do and treat every pet like their own. They go above and beyond to make sure your pet is well taken care of, and the pricing is very reasonable. It’s always a wonderful experience from start to finish. I can’t recommend them enough!!!! I know my baby is in good hands ❤️ They also accept care credit which is a huge plus !

During what was a devastating and traumatic experience for me they provided quality care and showed me comfort and love when I said goodbye to my baby girl Mac. Every single staff member I interacted with made me feel loved and understood. Thank you so much for being so kind and doing all that was possible. I wish I could name the doctor who consoled me because he was incredible and I will never forget his kindness and nurturing care.

I love this team of vets! They saved my sister’s cat and have been amazing every step of the way through my own animals health journey. I highly recommend for any owner who loves their animal(s) and want the best care, to come here.

Without the wonderful team from this place, my childhood cat would have died. Every other place I called was either two weeks out for a life-threatening condition, too expensive, or wouldn't give me an estimate and insisted on a consult to do ANYTHING. They heard me, gave me an appointment for the next day, gave me an estimate upfront, and hugged me when I came to pick him up. This place has the most important thing any business like this needs: empathy and compassion. Dr. Neuses truly lives up to her name, and Cathy was so wonderfully comforting and caring over the phone. I couldn't have done this without any of you. Thank you for saving my baby.
