How to Save Money at Calvert City 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 had a appointment with Calvert City Animal Client on April 25, 2022. I had a fantastic appointment for both of my dog’s the young ladies where very professional about everything they where doing. Each of my dog’s where weighted and question ask about their health answered. Shot’s where giving and test for heart worm’s was taken, when testing was done a heart worm shot was giving. All my questions were answered and I was out of the office in well under a hour. No waiting and fantastic service. I hope to set up a appointment for teeth cleaning and one for I’m sure will be a few extraction. But I want to thank them for the wonderful job they did. Tanner and Ebenezer Grandma

Unfortunately we had to have my mom's 15 yoa yorkie euthanized. They were very patient and took us in immediately even though it was close to their closing time. Very compassionate

Took two cats in on the 3rd of March to have spayed. Was told on the phone that it would be $252 for having them both spayed and their rabies shots. I go to pick up my cats and was charged $379.48 because they got the pick up person to sign papers to have test done, which was NOT authorized by me. Four days later, my cat is back in their office, because her incision is open and infected. They put ointment on it, two staples, and send her on her way. They tell my dad that they will send me the bill for that visit. She has been in a E-collar as well. Two days later, today, my cat is on her way to another vet to have their botched work fixed. Two pictures included. First is from Monday 4 days after surgery, second is from today, 2 days after the incision was "fixed". I will never give this vet my business, nor will any of the rest of my family... and they will definitely never be recommended by any of us.
