How to Save Money at Gateway Pet 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.

Yesterday, I had to bring my dog Odie to Gateway Pet Hospital as he had blood in his urine. Dr Aradhana Sekhon saw him. He had kidney stones causing the blood. We discussed options and his conditions, age, etc. and I decided to let him cross the Rainbow Bridge. The Dr and all of the staff were so wonderful to me. They gave me time with Odie before and after. I have had a great connection with Eve there ever since I started bringing Odie there after I adopted him in 2021. I highly recommend Gateway Vet Hospital as your place to bring your pets for services.

Wonderful, caring staff who treat my pets like family. My cats can be challenging and they have always gone above and beyond. The vet communication is amazing too-my pets get more individual care than I do at my own doctor! Highly recommend.

Not pleased with the misdiagnosis we received with our pet. Also a pet under distress should not be given vaccinations! We ended up in the ER because of it. This practice used to be good. Unfortunately I don’t feel that way anymore.

We recently had to put our beloved dog Charlie down. Unfortunately my distraught wife forgot to collect her collar and when I went to get it they had already disposed of it. I was upset because the reception said my wife said she didn't want it. I suggested they never ask but give it to the family to decide. I was prepared to write a bad review. Since then they sent us her ashes and a print of her foot at no charge! We were very moved and my impression that they cared little, in the end, was unfounded given by this incredibly kind gesture. I was wrong due to heaviness of our loss after 16 years of her with us. This is a compassionate vet and we have received excellent care over the years.
