How to Save Money at Hudspeth 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.

Getting 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.

My 20 Week Journey The Journey Continues

I recently moved to Macon Georgia from Clearwater Florida and I have been searching for a veterinarian. I heard about Hudspeth and I made an appointment. Today I took my two cats Sofie and Lovey ❤️ and it was a great experience. I'm really happy I found a place to take care of my babies. Also I am going on a cruise next month and I can leave them at Hudspeth and not worry. Highly Recommend

The best vet experiences in the last 20 years. Dr. Giles has been my dogs vet for the last 3 1/2 years He is knowledgeable, caring and communicative. The staff is exceptional and they treat you and your pet like family. And, their fees are quite reasonable. Truly five (5) stars!

My cat was in congestive heart failure and I brought him in on a Sunday morning. The doctor was kind and showed genuine concern for my cat. The staff was friendly and kept the operation going smoothly as the busy morning progressed. I will update when I pick up my cat because he needed hospitalization.

We took our indoor only cat to the emergency vet on 4/2 because he was not moving his right back leg and we had no idea what he did to it. The receptionist was very kind and helpful and concerned about Neo and told us to bring him to them immediately! We got there and completed the ppwk and the nurse came out to the car and took him inside. It was a long wait because of some emergencies but Neo was comfortable in his crate while he waited on X-rays. He has a broken Tibia and the lightly sedated him and put X-rayed it and cast it. He is home and content. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Brandon because of his concern and care for Neo. He called us at home at 10:30 pm last night to let us know how he was doing and what all the process would be for getting his leg healed! Thank you Hudspeth Emergency vet! We appreciate y’all!
