How to Save Money at Happy Tails 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.

Happy Tails is an amazing animal hospital and I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Mareddy and her staff. One of our dogs is elderly and has an autoimmune disease, and I was beyond nervous to have his teeth cleaned and for extractions to be done. Dr. Mareddy did an incredible job and made sure to monitor him the entire time (and Amber in her office sent text messages the whole time keeping us updated). Dr. Mareddy takes the time both in person and on the phone to make sure you understand everything thoroughly. She has a very personal hands on approach and both our dogs love her. Highly recommend! Happy tails also has great grooming services.

When I brought my puppy Bella to Happy Tails Vet she was not feeling well and not in great health. Now my fur baby is thriving. She’s Happy, Active and Healthy. Thank you Happy Tails Vet.

My Laberdoodle ate the legs and thighs (bone and all) so, we came to happy tails to have her checked out. Vet took xrays. Her Tommy was full! (OF chicken). Vet recommended inducing vomit (KNOWING SHE WAS TOO FULL TO EXPELL ANYTHING). OF COURSE she could not regurgitate. Vet recommended surgery!! (AFTER CHARGING $495 FOR A PROCEEDURE SHE KNEW LIKELY WOULD NOT WORK). Vet played on our concern telling us perforation from chicken bones could produce major problems for our dog. $2,000 for the surgery noting the emergency Vet clinic down the street would charge $10,000 for the procedure. WE DID NOT BITE! Took her to our Vet of 20 years who said,"Thus is not a surgical issue. This breed naturally feeds on chicken bone and all with o ly diarrhea to deal with afterwords. My Happy Tail will NEVER go back to Happy Tails Pet Spa. Winner winner $500 chicken dinner!!! 🤔

Artimis isn’t doing well. I don’t think this place genuinely cares about animals. I bought my dog in for emergency visit and they knew he was in pain with something going on in his mouth but I didn’t have enough money for nothing but emergency care so they sent me out because the emergency care didn’t cover, what he needed to be fully diagnosed and treated. So basically, they took my money for the emergency visit and told me we don’t really know what’s wrong with him because the emergency visit cost doesn’t cover this. What was the purpose of the emergency visit? wouldn’t recommend this place to anybody money driven

Happy tails is a great place for your fur Baby. The entire staff including Dr Prasad and Dr Hema are extremely helpful. they are alway there when needed, and available on demand to help during emergencies. As a first time pet owner we wanted someone whom we can lean on for suggestions, advice and guidance and we feel we have found a right place for our Islay at happy place. We feel happy tails is a happy place for our golden puppy and for us. They genuinely care for your babies and are very knowledgeable and experienced. We have found out vets for life at happy tails.
