How to Save Money at Northside Hope Veterinary Clinic

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.

Firstly, let me just say that I am incredibly lucky to have found this place when I did. Really can't thank them enough. They got us in for an emergency 1st thing in the morning and they were so nice! Even the techs and receptionist were sweet! Every other vet I've been to has front desk employees and techs who seem annoyed before you even speak lol so this place really was refreshing to see the employees are so kind. Especially when I am so freaked out and scared for my pet. I had never been to this vet before but I was in need of someone who could get her in quickly. They didn't ask, they just offered me an appt that day and that was it. The doctors(yes multiple) are WONDERFUL. They were sweet to my pup and caring. I've continued going to two of their locations which is so convenient, and I have always been able to get in quickly and have always been given the most help. Really great bunch of people and seems like a great team. My dog and my family are grateful to you always. Thanks!

I moved from S GA in the summer. My boy Köbi (St Bernard) is a huge handful, I just love the care they have for him and Dr Newton is THE ABSOLUTE BEST!! He explains every detail which I like. So glad my fur baby is in great hands. Thank you all.

I take my 3 dogs here. I have 2 deer headed chihuahua and a bichon frise. Before today, seeing Dr. Newton, my husband and I had been talking about finding a different Vet, closer to home. After our visit with Dr. Newton, and knowing that he will be our dogs Primary Vet from now on, both of us have been put at ease. The first time I brought the two deer heads, and we had to wait in the car the entire time, it was so hot, and gas is so high, it was frustrating. I also had my 5 year old granddaughter with me. I had no issue with the staff, they were kind. Today, we went to the back of the building, where there is a fenced in area for the Doctor to talk with us, and examine the dogs. I will continue to bring my animals here as long as our experience continues with Dr. Newton...it makes more sense to us for all the animals to be with one Doctor that is AWESOME!!!! He looked at me, at one point, and said, I really like this dog!!!! It made me Crack up, because that was the way I felt about JJ when I inherited him!!!! He's just a really good boy that has been through a lot. Being added to the pack, 2 dogs, 3 cats, he has adjusted very well. Going to a groomer for the first time, the vet for the second time in his life, and being able to experience walks, grass under his feet, being an actual dog has been amazing for him. We will be taking him back in 2-3 weeks for his shots, and we cannot wait for Doctor Newton to see the improvements JJ has made.
