How to Save Money at Davies Animal Medical 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.

This was probably the best vet experience I’ve ever had. My husky is very sweet, but VERY loud and energetic which makes vet visits really stressful, but the staff at Davies were so welcoming and kind and made us feel at ease. We had Dr. Columbo and he was absolutely fantastic. He was so gentle with my dog and was very thorough and talked through everything with me. I’m very impressed with everything about that place.

They were Amazing. Staff is great very attentive. Got my little Yorkie (Bodhi-Zaffa) relieved of his allergies in a quick timely manner and the price was very reasonable. I recommend them. I will be back for all my puppies needs.

Do NOT USE THIS VET! Most horrible experience ever - the staff is rude unapologetic. There is NO WHERE to sit if you have Cats - Dogs in the lobby are allowed to roam freely without any intervention from the staff, although there were at least 6 staff sitting directly in the lobby they were more interested in gossiping about what they did the night before than my pets experience. My Cats were traumatized after two bulldogs jumped at their carry cases and begun barking at their cages. There is ZERO policing of the lobby and although they have two separate sitting areas and at least 6 people manning the reception area. There was zero empathy for what my animals experienced. This was the last straw after a history of bad experiences here. The front walkway is like an obstacle course of dog poo and the business is clearly more interested in the VOLUME$$$$ of animals they can see in a day vs. actually providing any type of care or Indepth examination. Staff was RUDE and disengaged from their customers. My impression of the vets themselves is that most are young and inexperienced. Examinations have been very rushed and more like a conveyor belt - get em in, and get em out as soon as you can $$$$$$$

I can not say enough good about this place. My dog went into anaphylactic shock and they performed quick intervention and saved our sweet Labs life. In addition to that they are kind, compassionate, and really made me feel I was doing a good job with my animals. I love the feel when we go in there. Our animals are a huge part of our lives and they take such good care of us all. Not to mention they are fairly priced which makes life so much easier when things happen. And we all know things WILL happen. Thank you to all of Davies we are so happy to have found you all.

If you value the life and wellbeing of your pet, please don't go here. They don't even have good reviews from the BBB. They care way more for money than your pet. So many fees were slipped in while my cat was hospitalized. Things Doctor Kemp never asked if we wanted and just performed. They have some good vets, but others such as Doctor Kemp are rude, pushy and have the bedside manner of a robot. She argued with every choice I made for my cat. While I was holding my cat and crying and REPEATEDLY ASKING her to give me a minute she was standing behind me talking 20mph telling me everything that I should do. I made a choice for my cat, and she just stared disapprovingly, I tried to explain why I wanted that and she would repeatedly cut me off to explain why that was the wrong choice. I had to leave for a minute to get away from her because I couldn't think I couldn't breath she just would NOT stop, and as soon as I leave she calls to tell me my cat passed. (Again with zero bedside manners, she launches into explaining that she stopped breathing first, then her heart stopped, because every pet owner wanted to answer the phone to an explanation of which bodyparts gave out first) So none of my choices would have changed anything. Instead of sobbing and anxious and rethinking every choice I made 50times I could have spent that time with my cat. I will never get that time back that she robbed from me. *Opinion isn't swayed by how I was "affected by the loss of my cat" it is based on the callousness of a specific vet. Glad to see this vets office continues to brush off the way it's vet treats people. The other vet I experienced here was amazing. My opinion stands for a business that could employ someone like Dr. Kempt.
