How to Save Money at Skyline Pet 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.

My dog Peanut was a stray before she came home with me and this was the first veterinary clinic that I went to. Every time I had an appointment I would have to wait an hour to an hour and a half to be attended, but it was not a big deal because they were very nice. But one day I had an appointment to get a health certificate to travel and they took once again an hour to come and see me. After, the lady asked what exactly has to be on the report because if they found ticks then they could possibly euthanize her. And she scared me terribly, when my mother reassured me that they would not do that going into Mexico. She also handed me papers to read about because she didn’t know what peanut needed. I think they should be informed of what is needed on a health certificate and not scare owners without the right information. She then said that they would see if they could attend her bc they had people waiting. I had to wait 2 hours to even have someone come talk to me. I told her they had to bring her in especially for the wait I had. The vet also asked me how she injured her eye when she has been that way since I got her. And they didn’t have a record on it???? I had to immediately take her to an eye specialist. Because I had trusted them for 6 months. My pet means everything to me, and they need to do better.

This place is GREAT!! I just moved to the area with my two dogs. One of them had a major surgery before I moved and needed to have her staples removed. I knew I couldn't do that my self so I started my search for a new vet. I called at the very least 15 different vets. I explained what I needed and that I was looking for a new vet for my dogs everytime I was told sorry we have no openings until September or October! Even just to have her staples removed? I was still told sorry 😞. Then I found Sktline pet hospital after explaining my situation Anna at the front desk told me they could fit me in on Thursday. Because of new protocol she said to call her when I got there and they would come out side with the nessary paper work and remove her staples. I got there and followed procedure. After a little wait she came to pick up the paperwork and take the dog but told me that this was their surgery day and could I leave her and come back in a few hour. Of corse I was do happy that they could remove the staples. But when she saw the dog she asked me to wait just a sec she wanted the Dr to see her first. So out came the dr he took one look at Lily's (my dog) and said "OH..... no troble stay right there this will only take a few minutes". Less then 4 minutes when by and out came Lily tail wagging and comfortable. He gave her ack to me and said she had healed very well. When I ask what I owed he said NOTHING!! because he felt bad that I had waited. NEVER EVER have I had a vet not charge me for services rendered. This will be my new vet for my dogs. Kindness compassion and knowledgeable.

The only reason this isn't one star is that the office staff was very nice. The vet? He was dismissive immediately of our concerns claiming that they were behavioral. Our cat has barely moved for 3 days and whereas she usually jumps from floor to counter at the rustle of a wrapper or opening of the refrigerator, she has hardly left her bed. She also has had the runs. But I guess that's just a behavor issue.... We will find a vet who cares.

I went to this vet at first because I saw so many positive reviews and it was so close to my place. Nice place, but maybe they are only good at dogs treatment, but I'm not sure about their professionalism at cats. 1). He or She? This was my first time. Only for a general check-up for my 3-month kitty. So they requested my kitty's past record for a scanned copy, and the doctor already took a look at the record with a basic background of my kitten before he asked me in. My kitty was a boy. But the doctor kept saying "she" at first. I used "he", and the vet tried to correct me, and he realized my kitty turned out to be a boy after about 15 minutes. 2). Pink nose The vet asked me, "did your cat sneeze a lot, because his nose was pink?" - I was a bit shocked, because all bi-color ragdoll cats' noses were pink, and he knew that was a ragdoll breed already as he mentioned he had a friend who got a ragdoll as well -- this actually shocked me as well, because it sounded to me like he had never seen a ragdoll cat at the vet place before, and the only time he saw one was at his friend's place. 3). A dog was around... When I entered the room with my kitty for check-up, the thing that shocked me most was the doctor had a giant standard poodle around the table. I would say it was fine if the dog was calm, though I didn't understand why he would allow a big dog to be around when he got a feline patient. But the standard poodle was super excited and pounced on my leg. That hurt, man! I could tell the dog was friendly, but he was really too excited and wanted to reach my kitty. This sorta concerned me at first. My kitty was only 3 months. Fortunately the kitty was not jumping over the place, but I really doubted the professionalism at the moment I saw the dog around. My first impression of the vet was actually really good. All the doctors and front desk ladies were like 50+ yrs old, and so I believed they should be very experienced with so many positive reviews... but the whole experience finally was a bit off my expectation. I'll still give it a four star, because their attitudes were genuinely good. But hope my true experience can inform your decisions if you got a cat.
