How to Save Money at Graylyn Crest Animal 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.

Dr. Garrick has impressed me so much with the time he is willing to spend helping me understand what my 17-year-old cat is going through and what interventions can be helpful to him. He's been compassionate, understanding, and informative and has helped to alleviate some of the stress I've experienced from watching my cat decline. Most importantly, the interventions he's recommended have helped my cat very much. Thank you so much Dr. Garrick. You are great.

Dr.Garrick was very good with our cat Misha, he thoroughly checked her teeth and her eyes. Also the vet techs were so gentle with Misha, she didn't even notice they were drawing her blood samples. There is a lot of love at this veterinary office.

My cat Mo is a rescue with major tude and deep hatred for meds and vet visits. Despite this, Dr.Garrick and Stephanie have been wonderful in their interaction with him and thorough in the development of various treatment plans. Thanks for saving my boy Doc. I thought I was going to lose him. Will be scheduling a follow up soon

I took my cat here for an ear infection. The staff was very kind, friendly, considerate, and gentle. Both the doctor and the pother staff did a wonderful job of explaining to me what was going on with my pet and treated her as if she was their own pet. I could tell they knew what they were doing and seemed very experienced. I called for a follow up question a day or two later and they were clear and helpful then as well. I will definitely be taking all my pets here from now on!
