How to Save Money at The Village 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 Segarra and staff are amazing! We've been coming here for 9 years for all our cats and dogs and they always treat our babies with care. Dr Segarra is extremely patient and you can tell she loves animals which is why we continue to go here. She has a very caring heart and provides great advice for the best care/treatments. If you have a nervous pet or a pet that does not like vet offices, they will take the time to make your pet feel ok and take precautions. This is rare to find! They definitely focus on what is best for the pet vs rushing you or your pet.

The Village Animal hospital is by far the best Veterinarian I’ve ever been to. They got me in to get my sick kitten, Meatball, taken care of last minute. Everyone was so nice and actually talked us through what they were doing with Meatball and even showed me the total cost before they proceeded, making sure it was okay. Meatball is all better now, and I really appreciate how accommodating they were!!!

Dr. Segarra and her staff at The Village Animal hospital are amazing! From my first inquiry call to my visit to the follow up call I received after my pet’s appointment…. They are all welcoming, kind and thorough. You will not be disappointed in the care that you receive.

You will find Hearts of GOLD here! I am a volunteer with Rescue Me Georgia (RMG), and we were in a bind to get travel health certificates by Sat 6/18 morning for 10 puppies and two adults who would then be able to catch a transport to New Hampshire to be adopted in NH. RMG was looking for appointments wherever possible and on a lark I contacted VAH since I have been taking my doggies there for the last 7+ years. Not only did I find that Dr. Segarra is USDA certified to issue the travel certs (APHIS 7001 forms), they actually accommodated all 10 puppies and the 2 adults. They requested we drop the dogs off by 8:30am and no later than noon on Fri and they would work throughout the day on examinations, vaccinations, and certifications. We rounded up our canine crew from multiple ATL locations and had everyone at VAH by 10:15am. Dr. Segarra, Hunter, and Carla worked tirelessly throughout the day getting through our dogs without compromising any of their other scheduled patients. They ended up staying 2.5 hours past their normal closing time. Not only that, VAH also offered us Rescue pricing with significant discounts on ALL the services for all 12! Late Fri, I realized there was a communication issue between me and RMG, and Sat morning I was there again at VAH for a couple of additional vaccinations when it opened. Mary was amazing and rallied around my issue, and Dr. Segarra rushed in before she was scheduled to be in, getting everything sorted out in time for me to meet up with the transport. I cannot say enough great things about the staff and the doc here, and I am very thankful to have them in my community.
