How to Save Money at Walker 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.

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.

Were able to get my pup in the same day, did not charge extra for the last minute visit and were incredibly kind, helpful and accommodating. Will be bringing all of my fur babies to them because I trust they will provide the best, honest care.

Not only were they able to see one of my dogs day of for an emergency, Dr. Connie took one look at my other dog and diagnosed a problem I knew he had for six months but could not get confirmed. I’ve had no issues with scheduling appointments around my schedule, and the staff is always super helpful and friendly! So glad to find a vet I can rely on!

Great experience. The staff was attentive and explained everything in great detail. They welcomed questions and were super friendly. Dr. Connie made sure we understood the diagnosis and talked us to the proposed medical plan with our cat without pressure. Definitely switching vet hospitals.

Brought our ancient Saint Bernard, Molly to Walker when she had an influx of foxtails in all four of her paws. It was such a great, low stress environment. We loved the Dr. and team. Our other Saint, Harvey, goes to the dreaded Banfield. Once Harv's Banfield insurance plan expires in December, we'll make the the move to Walker! Thanks Walker Team!
