How to Save Money at Amar Glen Veterinary 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 took my cat in because he was breathing open mouth and heavily. What I appreciate is that they accept walk in you just have to be there an hr earlier. With my busy work schedule that changes day by day it's will be my go Vet of choice. I just moved to the area and got lucky findinb then. Thank you to the staff and the doctor. BTW Cinnabon is doing much better.

Friendly staff! Parking can be tricky and you must always anticipate spending a few hours as they are walk in first come first serve. They do offer grooming and their groomer is very kind he always comes out and introduces himself to everyone that is waiting.

Dr. Medina from Amar Glen Veterinary Hospital KILLED MY CAT Anita and took more than $2000 from me for their unskilled, incompetent services. On July 18 I took Anita to a 24 hour Emergency hospital because she was not eating or drinking water. There they made all the tests there are and was diagnosed with a mass on her bladder and other complication that resulted from that mass, that was causing a blockage and for sure had it ever since the first time I took her to Amar Glen in 2022. Anita was in critical condition, and we had to put her to sleep. I took Anita to Amar Glen Veterinary hospital 6 times Since October 31, 2022, until June 29, 2023. They diagnosed her with early stage of kidney disease and UTI. But had recurring UTIs so every time they would make bloodwork and a urinalysis but never did an ultrasound or x-ray. I always made sure to tell them her symptoms including constipation, they never did an ultrasound or x-ray so the mass in her bladder that was causing all the problems could be treated properly. I still can't believe the lack of interest, unprofessionalism and incompetence of Dr Medina. Anita was a senior cat, sure but that doesn't mean that she didn't deserve a high quality of life. She wasn't supposed to suffer the way she did. I was blindsided and confused by this clinic because they seemed to care and treat my Anita with affection when I was present but that was all a lie. I'm extremely disappointed and heartbroken. People do yourself a favor if you're taking your pets to this clinic specifically with Dr Medina, don't trust them 100% because you will be disappointed. I honestly don't care about the money, I just wished Dr. Medina would've done his job correctly and my cat would've not suffered the way she did. If you're pet continues to have health problems always make sure to look for a second opinion it doesn't matter where or what Doctor is attending the pet, it can save lives. Ask for the tests available, and if needed or any doubts ask for an ultrasound/ x-ray to see if any masses are present.

This office is bustling even before the doors open. Good service and prices. The vet listens and talks with you. If any testing is done the vet will give you the results and discuss any plans of action.

One vet tech was rude. I was asking questions she sounded annoyed. Not sure if that vet tech was having a bad day or what, but it’s unprofessional. Usually they are very helpful and nice. And making a phone call is a nightmare. It’s a hit or miss. Usually they are great and takes care of my pets. Also, people cut in lines. What’s the point of waking up early if people cut? They should have a system for this. Like a ticket number.
