How to Save Money at Arizona Humane Society Veterinary Clinic at Sunnyslope Campus

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.

Very kind, patient and understanding of the different reactions pet owners may experience when they have to surrender their pet. They printed me out a page full of "no kill" locations. Which took me from tears to a smile on my face. I was able to feel at peace knowing that he would be placed in another home.

Today was our first time to the clinic and our experience was amazing. Desiree was incredibly kind and welcoming. She greeted us promptly and walked us through where to sign in and how it works. Brianna is the vet tech that took our dogs back and she was very friendly and gentle with the dogs. They didn’t seem nervous or anything for their appointment. Thank you guys for a great experience, we’ll definitely be back.

I have nothing but great things to say about this clinic! My dog has had all of his shots done with them and recently got neutered. All of the staff is kind, empathetic, & professional. They are eager to answer questions. They even reached out the following day after his neuter to check on him. Amazing! Thank you all staff for everything that you do. Grateful!

Scheduled an appointment for today 8/29 (with a deposit) a few weeks ago. I called in yesterday to confirm my fur baby’s appointment and get clarification on instructions. I showed up at 7:15am as instructed and all the lights were off and doors were locked upon arrival. I rang the bell and called multiple times before leaving. I took today and tomorrow off work to make sure I was attentive post op. This was a highly unprofessional experience and my cat will not be rescheduled. PS the location is in the ghetto.

They are very good about getting our dog Ramzee’s nails cut as he has fear aggression. They are able to control him and they do a good job. The only thing I don’t like is they will not put on the muzzle on him when they do it much faster than I could. Then we took our dogs to get a physical with Ramsey with a muscle and Luna. Our doctor was so afraid of Ramsey. She wouldn’t even even diagnose him for anything. She was just totally fine so that was the worst because I ever ever had we paid $40-$45 and got no service at all. My appointment for my dog to have a check up for second opinion I paid fee online counting appointment two days later and ask for a refund. They said they never got the money or received an appointment. Unfortunately I deleted my information on the receipt when I should’ve kept it , so my loss on that. In general, they’re not bad. The prices are pretty reasonable, but I won’t take them there for anything other than getting nails cut.
