How to Save Money at Whitesburg 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.

I walked in with a toddler and puppy on a Sat. Morning and the front desk lady (should of remembered her name) was AMAZING!!! She immediately grabbed crayons, coloring book and said let's get you back in a room. She knew and she got me! It was so appreciated. The entire staff was so caring and so helpful, not once did I feel uncomfortable or rushed! I will recommend to anyone who needs a vet!

My three dogs love Enrichment at Whitesburg Animal Hospital! The very sweet staff interacts with them all through the day and encourages lots of play time and fun. It's great to see them playing with their friends in all the photos they post on Facebook. My dogs always come home happy and tired!

WE LOVE WHITESBURG ANIMAL HOSPITAL! We have been coming to Whitesburg for the care of several of our animals for years now and have always been impressed with the superb quality of thorough care our animals have received. The Whitesburg family has always treated us and our animals with kindness, respect, patience, and compassion. And I cannot stress enough how happy I am with their Fear Free practice! I always know that the well-being of my animals—not just their physical health, but their comfort and emotional well-being too—is a priority here. I am overwhelmingly grateful to be able to work with a vet who is invested in providing the best care without compromising on my animal’s emotional well-being. Dr. Armstrong is the best vet we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She is kind, helpful, and in caring for our animals she always keeps us well informed and involved so we know just what’s going on and what our options are. So of course when we needed a veterinarian that would be compassionate and understanding to treat our very anxious dog, we came to her! Dr. Armstrong and her staff have been incredibly accommodating for our anxious dog, and very patient with her (and us!) as we worked with her to get her comfortable enough for handling and treatment at the vet. With the help of medication and almost weekly “happy visits” for over a year, (and training at home, too,) our dog Juniper has gotten SO much more comfortable with going to the vet. Dr. Armstrong has been wonderful in allowing us to come in regularly to work on training with Juniper (with her sister Maple along for moral support,) and let us work up to using cooperative care techniques that ensure our dog is comfortable with what is happening instead of stressed and afraid. I am happy to report that yesterday, we were able to do Juniper’s entire exam and vaccines using only cooperative care routines, and absolutely zero restraint or force! I can’t even begin to express how incredibly grateful I am to have been able to work with Dr. Armstrong to build this foundation with Juniper so that she can continue to receive the best care possible for the rest of her life! Thank you, Dr. Armstrong and Whitesburg!!!

Fabulous first time experience with my dogs. Especially love that it is a fear-free clinic! Dr Jenner was very sweet and gentle with my nervous dogs. The women at the front desk were so helpful and kind. And Tamika the Vet Assistant was so calm and cool and patient!! We have found our new Animal Clinic! Highly recommend! Very clean and organized. Knowledgeable and very competent staff.
