How to Save Money at Ashland 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.

I have been going there for many years. I adore Dr. Davis and her staff. She is so great with my fur babies Dibbles, Mila, Fiona and the grand fur babies Lexa and Brutus. She really takes time to get to know their history and to know the human parents. She is extremely thorough and don't play when it comes to figuring out exactly what is going on with the babies. She tries to save the human parents money, while ensuring the pets get the absolute best care possible. I highly recommend her. I would add that being patient with her questions is essential to getting to the root cause of the problem with your pet and her ensuring she provides the best course of medical service for them. When you get to know her, you will absolutely love her dearly!

They took very good care of my fur baby. He did not do to well but it was because of the staff. They tried and tried to make him feel at home but he just wasn't having it. I appreciate that they took the time and tried to get him acclimated to be housed their. Thank so much for your love and care.

Dr. Davis is very caring and knowledgeable with pets. She takes her time explaining treatments and asks questions as well. Also her cost are very reasonable. I'm so happy we met her and her staff.

If I could give no star I would. Dr. Davis is very unprofessional and rude. My situation was unique as I am caring for a dog who needed medical attention. I was asked my the Vet who is currently treating him to get records and was told by the owner that his care was from this place. I left several messages with no response. This is very unacceptable considering they suppose to care about pets. When I did get an answer, Dr. Davis was so rude, I could not get a word in, and all she was concerned with was that I left messages. Well if the office called me back then I would not have been leaving messages. The office didn't even call the pet hospital back nor the Veterinarian office back. I was so frustrated trying to explain the situation to Dr. Davis that I just hung up. She was not listening, not compassionate, and I cannot believe she has any customers. If her bedside manner is as awful as her phone etiquette then I say run don't walk away from this place. I have never had such horrible service from a Veterinarian. I would say go somewhere that you can be heard so your pet baby can be taken care of properly. The behavior that the Doctor displayed is horrible and she should be ashamed. I am sure she missed the empathy, compassion, and customer service section and needs a refresher on how to listen and talk to people.
