How to Save Money at PETS Emergency Hospital, A Thrive Pet Healthcare Partner
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.

I brought my cat, Gus, here over the weekend. Everyone I spoke to was so kind and compassionate. I was well informed with pricing up front, and they were completely transparent with their practices. Unfortunately, Gus was much sicker than we expected, but I felt I was given all the information and given all the necessary options to move forward with his care. I am so thankful for everyone but specifically the tech Lindsey and Dr. Dunn. They are angels on earth for what they do. I will miss Gus forever but feel relieved that he was treated with love and care on his last day.

If I could give you ten stars I would. The compassion and care from your staff today was outstanding. Not just for my dog but for me as well. They took amazing care of Junior after a dog attacked him. They saw us immediately and put together a plan and a quote. Obviously it's more expensive to go to the emergency room but my pup needed help and they jumped into action right away. I'm sure they have seen cases way worse than mine but I think they gave the best care we could have ever hoped for. Thank you guys again.

I gave one star because they are open 24 hours. If you need emergency help they’re open but you better have a big bank account. The after hours bill I got for my dog was somewhat expected over $1400.00. I was told for a follow up check and bandage change would be free ( same for stitches removal ), after check and bandage change ( listed as small on receipt) had a bill of another $160.20. I won’t be returning for stitches removal, will find another option. $48.00 to check stitches and $112.20 new bandage. ???? Reply to your response: Anyone with common sense can read in your response, the near bait and switch technique in your charges. The only part of the follow up check that is free is “ the removal of the bandage “ ( which is the only way you could check the stitches ), nobody told me that there would be a charge to look at the stitches and replace the bandage ( $160.00 ) until I went to leave. This money gouging technique is not going to work on me for stitches removal.

If I could rate higher, I would. Though the team at PETS Emergency Hospital saved our dog’s life, I’d think just as highly of them if she hadn’t made it. The care and compassion that they showed to our pup AND our family, their thorough and frequent communication, their flexibility, and their no-judgement attitudes made a stressful situation into a manageable one. Dr. Dunn and Dr. Roman both were so wonderful. They made time to update us regularly but also took our calls and answered questions at all hours. Every vet tech was friendly and kind. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. As a side note, I was pleasantly surprised by the prices but maybe that’s because I’ve paid more for emergency vet services before and I work in the emergency medical field so it makes sense to me why an emergency medical service is more expensive than a regular vet clinic. I have read many of the negative reviews and most of them are upset about fees - sorry to say, but no business runs on hopes and dreams. The staff here proves through their actions that their work is meaningful to them - but they can’t be there without money to run the place. People, use your heads. It isn’t money grubbing. It’s reality.

I'm sorry but payment before care is pretty insensitive to both the animal and their owners. Pets are like children to some families so imagine having to take your child to the ER and they told you that you needed to pay over $200 up front before they would even see your child. They say it's due to increased pet abandoning but if I'm bringing my pet here then I'm more interested in getting them healthy then I am in getting rid of them. We had to leave with the hopes that our pup would survive long enough for us to find another more caring and sensitive option that isn't financially motivated first.
