How to Save Money at Bentley 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.

I had a great experience at Bentley Vet. After my vet missed cancer in my sweet kitty, Dr. Hulsey found it (at a fraction of the cost I had paid at my vet) and offered a plan. The staff were all kind and Dr. Matthews performed the surgery. I am grateful for affordable vets that truly care.

I’ve been going to Bentley Animal Hospital for over 20 years, and I’ve never had a single complaint about their work. Their staff is always caring and attentive, and Delaney at the front desk is always a joy. Thank you, Dr. Hulsey and Dr. Temmen, for taking such great care of my animals.

Dr. Temmen and Dr. Hulsey have been really kind and helpful with my dog the past year. He’s an old dog who has had multiple vet visits recently, and they have taken such good care of him! I’ve also brought my cat in for his vaccines, and Dr. Temmen was very patient and careful with him. Their prices are also very fair compared to other vets in Huntsville. Thank you guys so much!

I decided to take my girls here from a recommendation despite the comments. We’ve never experienced warm or welcoming just business. We board them here as well and the last couple of times they’ve been smelly. Last board visit she handed me there crate mat with throw up and feces on it, brought it to her attention her reply, “I will check on that.” Recently my younger got sick needed to be put on insulin and a ton of money was spent in a matter of three days. Called to get her prescription because I found it cheaper on Chewy and was told I would be charged $10 because we didn’t purchase it from them and the time it takes to click approve when request come over per manager! I mentioned I thinks it’s time for us to find another service provider due to the number of added fees. The manager asked for my email to send records and sarcastically said byeee…… WOW it confirmed what others had said…. just WOW!!!!!!!!!

I took in 2 new puppies. The veterinarian was thorough. Staff was friendly. We haven't been here for over 7 years (after our last pet passed), and it seems that they are a lot better now than then. We are very happy with them at this point. Will re-review if anything changes in the future.
