How to Save Money at Union Park 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.

I came here due to my ferret getting attacked by a dog. The vet tech and Dr.Kelly were super sweet. I had an appointment for 3:20 but got in at 3:50 but it was only because they were low staff so I understood. I had come all the way here from Virginia to visit family. Dr.Kelly asked me if I was here for college, I told her I wanted to be a vet too and she rattled me up just right to motivate me more.She may have a stern tone and loud voice but she was very respectful. ( the photos show before and after the prescribed meds)

Very upset with this place! They now claim they changed the management! My dog goes there since we got him for almost two year now. I called them today to get a prescription for ALLERGIES, they want me to set up and appointment to be seen! My dog already was diagnosed with allergies by them! Why do I need to go back just to have the medication refill?! They just want to make money out of you! DO NOT TAKE WASTE YOUR TIME TAKING YOUR DOG TO BE ESTABLISH AT THIS PLACE! Find another practice!

For the past 3 weeks I been trying to work with this office for my dogs needs and today is the first time I get a return call. Yesterday I was asked to go to doctors office which I felt was for no reason just to waste my time. The staff nor doctor accepted responsibility for the 3 week delay and even though i was assured service yesterday, I still had to call them today because as of today they had not completed paperwork that would help my furry friend medical needs. Clearly this office no longer put our furry friends needs first, I don’t see myself going back.

At first everything here was good. The front desk was nice and approachable, the tech was sweet and attentive. Experience was perfectly fine until I got to the doctor. My ferret has a primary vet that was unfortunately closed and couldn’t get in for a couple of days, & we just wanted to check the eye and make sure everything was ok. I couldn’t get access to her records since the other place was closed, but of course with a new vet it’s important to let them know what your pet has/meds they take. I tried to explain to the doctor that my ferret has adrenal disease and has an implant to help her, along with certain medications. We have done multiple test and I have paid a lot of money and been to a lot of exotic vets to make sure she’s taken care of. Without any records or any information, this doctor was trying to tell me that she was misdiagnosed and that he would like to look at those records because essentially I didn’t know what I was talking about. I have been working in the field for a long time and if I know about ANYONES pet it’s going to be mine. He was condescending and rude and the only reason there’s two stars is because the rest of the staff was nice. He caused my ferret discomfort during the exam and i’m sorry but there’s no way i would recommend this place.

Dr Randolph and her staff were exceptional on our visit with our community duck that had been attacked. She took her time and respected the visit. Every vet we called wouldn’t see the duck. She gave him a shot for pain and sent him home with antibiotics and pain medication. He is doing so good. When we brought him in he couldn’t lift his head. Here is a picture of him and his friend that he was missing. She has nurses him back to health too. It truly takes a community working together to see a positive result. Thank you to Dr. Randolph and her team.
