How to Save Money at Northwood 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 could not be more grateful to have found this place for my bunny Zelda!! I have been to other bunny vets and I was not comfortable with taking my bun back there. This place is exactly what I was looking for this whole last year. Everyone who works here is amazing and they all know all about rabbits and all animals too. They sell critical care, hay, all natural bunny treats etc. My bun is not easy to deal with.. she is a sweetheart and friendly but she HATES being held or grabbed & they handled her so good. She wasn’t mad at me when we got home. Maria was so helpful with all my questions and handling Zelda, I appreciate you so much! And Dr. Ichikawa was amazing as well. Glad I did my research, if you’re looking for a good bunny vet or vet in general I highly recommended this place.

Our family have been going to this office for a few years now and I have to say that they are all from the Doctors and Staff are all wonderful. Our first visit was an emergency and from day one we were sure to always return. That’s how much we trust them. They’re knowledgeable and help you understand each course of treatment for our furbabies. They’re helpful in getting us a faster appointment during emergencies. They are compassionate and you can feel that they are animal lovers. After losing our Sparky they’ve been very attentive and thoughtful with remembering her. We are so touched. Our furbabies are very fortunate to have found a good doctor.

We have been going to Dr. Robert’s for 2 years now with our bunnies. She’s knowledgeable and the staff is friendly. Easy to schedule appointment.

I decided to try Northwood Animal Hospital because Bunny Bunch has them on their lists of savvy vets that they recommend. Their first check up went great, everyone was friendly and kind.

Great staff... gentle and kind people. My vet assistant was super nice, handled my old bunny with TLC. My bunny was so calm and at ease. The veterinarian was the same, just calm and gentle and explained why my bunny might be having an eye issue with clarity. I had very little waiting time and everything felt very concierge and professional, yet price of visit and meds were reasonable.
