How to Save Money at Downtown Dog Resort & Spa
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.

Picked up my uncles dog Monday. Utterly disappointed and heart broken at the condition of the dog. I work in the vet industry (in the ER) and would never tolerate any of the animals in my care going home looking this way. I am taking him today for another vet visit today to get another evaluation be shaved properly and have a full medicated bath. I am fully aware he stayed for an extended amount of time and was very stressed, his owner is in the hospital. I am fully aware hot spots are common and I’m fully aware they are treatable, I treat them everyday!!!!!! But this is unacceptable. I hate leaving any negative reviews but this dog has been through enough. Please please please everyone always be aware and advocate for your fur babies

I love this place. I take my rambunctious 9 month old husky for daycare 5 days a week, and she loves it. They make sure that she's comfortable and well rounded being around other dogs and people. I also can't say enough about her trainer. Because of my Egypt Downtown Dog Resort & Spa have become mu other family. Th

We boarded our 9th month old white and black husky mix for 24 hrs while we attended a wedding. When we picked her up she was almost brown from filth and smelled of feces and urine. We could barely touch her until we got her home to wash her. They also didn’t feed her breakfast or treats that I had provided in individual bags. We believe she was traumatized because since the boarding has a urinary tract infection and severe separation anxiety. Please do not use this facility.

Such caring staff. Our doggie passed away and they all consoled us. They knew Mo from a pup until his passing and boy did he love them. I can say nothing but good about every one who worked with Mo. They also facilitated us adopting one of their dogs. Now through these two dogs, we are doubly bonded. So very lucky to have this kind of excellent doggie care near me. We love you all and the dogs. Doggie love and hugs to you all…. Hilary, Jay and the dogs.

On dog #2 now, and both of my baby's have loved going there; its literally served as their home away from home! The staff knows each dog's personally, so I feel good about dropping my fur baby off and knowing she'll be cared for. Her after a long, satisfying day of play 🤣
