How to Save Money at Tri-County 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.

Absolutely LOVE this office. Everyone is always so nice and professional. The love they show my Schnee is like she’s their own. Our family has lived in 6 different states and have had 7 different vets. I can honestly say i thought our Indy vet was our fav. But this office has surpassed them. Dr. Teal and Dr. Huggins always listens to my worries and concerns no matter how small. They address the issue and i see a change. Our last vet would ignore me on our pets issues saying it was behavioral when i know her and it’s not. I’m so thankful for tri county. Thank you for being so great. I never leave there disappointed. They just make everything easy for us. My Schnee is 14 years old. Getting old is hard. I just can’t say it enough. I love this group.

I do not normally write reviews, but, the exceptional customer service we received from Tri-County Veterinary Hospital was outstanding and saved our dogs life! Words cannot express the happiness I felt as Jackson is a big part of the family! On Thursday, August 20th, around 4:30pm my husband, Ricky, was throwing the lacrosse ball to Jackson like he has done the past 7-8 years. Unfortunately, when Jackson caught the ball it got lodged in his throat. My husband worked fearlessly for several minutes trying to remove the ball from Jackson’s throat. Without success he decided to load Jackson into the vehicle and rush him to what he thought was the nearest vet. Long story short, it was the wrong vet and 15 min from our home. After he pulled into the parking lot on 2 wheels and without even thinking, unloaded Jackson and rushed him into the lobby (which at this time due to the Corona-virus the clinic did not allow customers in the facility, especially ones without masks). Nevertheless, everyone including Ricky rushed Jackson into a patient room. The staff immediately sedated Jackson, while Dr. Huggins tried removing the ball with forceps and other medical equipment. Meanwhile, Jackson’s tongue and gums were turning a bluish/purple color (which means he was nearing death) so one nurse performed CPR (mouth to nose breathing) since his airway was blocked while the other held his throat so he would not swallow the ball. After a few minutes and numerous attempts, the doctor was finally able to remove the ball. Afterwards, the staff took Jackson into another area to watch him and ensure his recovery was a success; which it was!!! I can say without hesitation, our 75 pound Lab, Jackson, is alive today because of the doctors and staff of Tri-County Veterinary Hospital! I will definitely be switching Jackson’s care to Dr. Huggins @ Tri-County Veterinary Hospital. Sherrie
