How to Save Money at Alpharetta 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.

We set an appointment for the same day for one of my Pomeranians, who had developed a strong diarrhea and the team there took care of us really fast. We went in at 5.30 pm and Dr. Davenport was quick and very helpful. My dog was taken care of nicely, and we got some prescription medicine for him. Hopefully he'll be good soon, but in any case, the attention was amazing.

Best Place I can trust bringing my Sally here. They are kind to her when she was still young and had too much energy. And yet kind to her when she is now older with joint issues. A little bit of a wait time if you come at the busy time, but it is an walk-ins no appointment needed. I understand. And if there is an emergency case of cause they should be prioritized. Thank you for everything you all do, love our pets and not trying to overcharge our bills.

I have been a long time client of Alpharetta Animal Hospital (more than 15 years) and can’t say enough good things about them. While they are a very busy clinic, I have always felt well taken care of there with all of my fur family and continue to fully trust that we’re in the very best hands! I have referred many people and will continue to do so.

Tried to have Dr Sims call me to talk about my dogs skin condition as the vet she referred me to hasn’t returned my multiple calls and I couldn’t get an appt. She had someone call me to say she had referred me to a skin specialist in March. Well I needed to speak to her but she obviously can’t be bothered. Check yelp reviews. People are not happy with this facility she is uncaring and unconcerned and I needed tests done but will have to go somewhere else. Very unhappy

I've been using this vet since 1996. Always pleased with the care and the vet care. Front staff were always helpful. Even during covid they were great! However several of their best vets have left and imo only one remains who is an excellent diagnostic vet that looks for cause vs just treating symptoms by "the book" I was disappointed that they discontinued walk ins. I can make an appt but if you have an acute situation and they are "filled" you're usually out of luck even though they do try to accommodate after you ask the front desk to ask a doctor. Not having Saturday hours even for walk ins is a huge disappointment. The front staff has turned over a few times and quite frankly with the turn over to their new computer system/software/phone upgrade, several of my booked appts were either not updated or removed. So I was out of luck. Hopefully they have worked the kinks out. I still whole heartily recommend this hospital but always recommend a specific doctor who has been there since we began going there, who is a 10 out of 10. I gave a 3 rating only because of the procedural changes that have been implemented. Otherwise it would have been a 5.
