How to Save Money at Edgewater 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.

What a pleasure it is to have such a good veterinarian on Windward Parkway. I took my cat there for an annual check up, and was so pleased with Dr. George,. My cat did need dental work. Dr. George is caring and explains things very well. I felt good leaving her there for the afternoon. She came home and has been doing great.

Dr. George and the team are wonderful! Georgia is blessed with Edgewater - I am happier with Dr. George’s expertise and husbandry skills more than any other vet in the area. The front desk is professional and has great communication. The clinic is very clean and the amenities to keep both cats and dogs comfortable are a nice touch that other vets do not incorporate. My reactive dog is comfortable at Edgewater and the team is responsive and listens to his and my needs. I also love the team’s work with local rescues and look forward to taking my pets to Dr. George for years to come!

I cannot say enough good things about this office staff and Dr. Erin George. Dr. George is professional, compassionate and beyond qualified. She made me feel like my dog was her own and made it easy for me to leave him in her care. She was also very complimentary of my dog which is always nice to hear. My dog remembers the office and every time we drive by he gets happy and wags his tail. That’s a win in my book. I would strongly encourage all people looking for a great Veterinarian to look no further because she was amazing and you would be hard pressed to find anything better. Do yourself and your pup a favor and go to her!

Dr George and her staff are awesome! They are warm and welcoming, take the time to listen to concerns about type pet, and they went above and beyond by giving spray cheese to my dog to calm Her down while getting shots. I’ve recommended this practice to so many people! They are awesome!
