How to Save Money at Odenton Veterinary 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.

Horrible first time experience!!!!! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! I called in a month in advance to schedule my appointment. During this initial call the receptionist continuously tried to receive payment for the future service. But I continued to tell them no I’ll pay upon service and that I would be using my pet insurance. The day I came in for service, I was told to stay outside. I understand COVID is still happening HOWEVER we are not in the phase we’re we can enter buildings without mask on if you’ve been fully vaccinated with the COVID shot. Yes, I’ve been vaccinated. However, I was rudely told to go sit in my car and wait to be called on the phone for my appointment. After 30 minutes of waiting in my car as I was rudely instructed to do, I called them on the phone to express how I didn’t enjoy the recent interaction. I just couldnt understand why I needEd to wait in my car for my appointment and for such a long time for this scheduled appointment. I also expressed that my puppy was nee to me and that hed never been without me (we go EVERYWHERE together). I wasn’t sure how he’d be without me being there. So I asked if I could come in with my new puppy. The receptionist was again RUDE. She says to me, “ I will not be changing my rules for ANYONE! You can feel free to go to another vet.” By this point I was too thru with them. I finally was a bit rude and simply hung up on her while she was still attempting to spit out rude nonsense into my ear. And I did exactly what she suggested, I took my business elsewhere. I’ve already spent about $800s at Banfield over 3 visit already. Banfield’s staff is SO nice. The staff (this was in laure inside the Petsmart) walked me through the aisles to help me find different items for my fur baby. Even if they thought my mini Yorky was ugly (although he’s absolutely adorable, you never know someone may be disgusted by his adorableness 🤷🏾♀️). The staff behaved as if he was the cutes thing they’d ever seen and wanted to hold him and they were play fighting over holding him and blah blah blah. It was a great experience with them and it has been nothing but great each time I’ve gone for his visit. They even remember us each time we show up for his appointment. They also allowed me to come to my appointment when I was 30 minutes late and there was no judgement. I’m glad ODENTON VETERINARY HOSPITAL SUCKS because I wouldn’t have been forced to look elsewhere and find Banfield. Be advised the staff at Odenton Vet are RUDE! DON’T TAKE YOUR PETS THERE!!

My little Lady needed dental surgery and a deep cleaning or scaling. Right from the start Dr Sinclair explained everything Lady would go through if she had teeth extracted. She made me feel comfortable with the entire procedure. Dr Sinclair is a wonderful Vet and I know Lady gets the best care from Staff too! They obviously love their jobs.

Great practice! Dr. Sinclair is awesome! She is caring, knowledgeable,and takes her time, I’ve never felt rushed in any appointment. And I also feel like they don’t just want money! They take steps in treating your animal if that makes sense. Ladies at the front are always very nice and professional as well! And bonus- opens Saturday AND you can text them!

I have been taking my boy, Jaxen, here for about 7 years and we have never had an unpleasant experience. All the doctors and techs are friendly and give my dog the best care! He recently had surgery and I was very comfortable knowing he was in their care.

I have taken my dog and cat to Odenton Vet for nearly 2 years now. They have always been so kind and helpful. My dog is accident prone, so he’s been there quite a few times and they are always so happy to see him. The customer service and veterinary expertise are top notch.
