How to Save Money at Pike 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.
Reviews from Google
We just moved here to Troy and I needed a large animal vet. Dr. Johnson was friendly and came out fast for my horse. He needed his vaccines and dewormer. Shannon the receptionist was super helpful and gave me such great advice to help my gelding gain weight. HIGHLY recommend them!

If you are looking for a vet that you trust, stop looking. This is the place! I have been bringing my pug here since he was 8 weeks old. In these last four years, I have used them for boarding, vaccinations, neutering and even middle of the night emergencies. Dr. Johnston is everything you are wanting in a vet. He is kind, caring and genuinely loves each of his patients as if they are his own. My dog suffered a seizure in the middle of the night, he took my call and met me at the clinic without hesitation. I even have friends and family, from other states, who use Pike Animal Hospital.The whole staff are just amazing and so helpful.They truly go above and beyond. (Also, side note, they accept CareCredit - which is so helpful!)

We trust Dr. Johnston and his staff with all of our fur babies and are so thankful to have them close to home. Dr. Johnston goes beyond most and takes the time to explain and educate clients. He is fair and just in his pricing and does not perform unnecessary tests/procedures. Dr. Johnston is a caring human being who will treat your pets as if they were his own. I strongly admire his love and passion for animals and am very happy we chose his hospital. You will be too.

Went to another local vet…that I won’t name… and they didn’t diagnose my dog. One visit with doc and he knew what it was!

I will not be going back. I brought my 2.5 year old healthy aussie here to be boarded for just a couple night while I was out of town for work. They did not bother to tell me they had been dealing with an outbreak of kennel cough in the clinic before I came, but waited until after I picked her up to tell me she “might” get it. She develops symptoms and is now coughing and miserable, I had to give her benadryl for a fever. I came back because they told me they could get me some medication for her, only for them to charge me $50. I had to pay $50 to help get my dog better after they are the ones who got her sick. Completely irresponsible and without regard for my pet or wallet. When I went to get the medicine they informed me they had had kennel cough in the clinic for over 2 weeks and are struggling to get rid of it. I dropped her off to be boarded only 1 weeks ago. They are taking more patients in knowing that they will get sick and its appalling. I wanted to give it zero stars or at least half of one but it won’t let me. *UPDATE* I called another vet for a second opinion and found out the medicine that Pike Animal Hospital gave me for my dog’s cough… is actually pain killer- not for cough. Get this- the medicine can cause respiratory distress, that’s one of the main side effects of it. Absolute negligence they would give my dog with Kennel Cough a pain medication that causes respiratory distress and try to tell me it’s a cough medicine. NEGLIGENT.
