How to Save Money at Kenai Veterinary 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.

Our pup had an emergency where he unfortunately ate something he shouldn’t have. We were stressed and trying to call every emergency vet number we could find. They were all dead ends until we called Kenai Veterinary Hospital where Dr. Patrick answered and was super helpful and informative about our dog’s situation. We brought our dog in and got things taken care of ASAP. Dr. Patrick was very knowledgeable, compassionate, and we received great customer service! We highly recommend him!

We’ve gone to Kenai Veterinary Hospital for years. My parents have gone to Wisnewski for 20 years, and we’ve never gone to any other vet. My dog recently had a health issue and as she is a service dog my family and I were quickly looking to get her in and seen. Dr. Patrick was amazing, and took care of my dog while keeping us informed and reassured the entire time. He’s a great new addition to the team taking care of my dog! We’ve always been happy with KVH. 100% recommend!

I would like to thank and let everyone know because it was a Sunday we had two dogs that had porcupine quills and all the other shops were going to send us to anchorage. I want to let you all know I am very thankful to Patrick Krinke for his amazing help and his emotional experience we had for helping the community when there is no one here to help us. We tried several and they we’re telling us to go to anchorage and he was an amazing help for our dogs. Thank you so much for the care we received and you are amazing we will definitely be your vet to have.
