How to Save Money at English Animal 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.

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.

Hi. I recently had to deal with the grief and pain of losing my childhood dog and bestfriend. This Office is one i would recommend ONLY for basic things like nail clipping and routine shots! They had knowledge of my dogs bladder issues for over a year, foul breath, rotting teeth, and almost every other symptom showing kidding failure, and yet never ONCE had done tests or even offered to look into it deeper. I understand if It was mentioned once why they wouldn't go to the lengths of testing, but after it was mentioned several times something should have been done. Instead of testing earlier it was caught too late. They offered to provide dialysis, of-course that's hundreds of dollars a week so it's money in their pocket, but it would not prolong her life at all since it was way too late. The moral of the story is that people bring their loved animals to vets to know and ensure that their pets are getting proper medical care and to upkeep their animals health. This is a veterinary office, they should have known better. They should have tested rather than pass it off as "old age" or "a minor uti" after several times it was mentioned. My dog was 12 she could have probably lived a few years longer with all of us if the proper procedures were met. I am not trying to point fingers but it is VERY disheartening to think that My Parents and I trusted my dog had good health, because of what the vet said, only because improper procedure was followed. They could have done more. This is not me passing blame, it is me leaving an honest review and hoping that this vet office will do more in the future. You guys suck. You guys NEVER offered any tests. And if you would like to further discuss this , email me privately. Because i know you’re seeing this AGAIN
