How to Save Money at Southdale Pet 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.

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.

Most pets know when they get to any door that leads to a groomer or the vet and they sometimes resist going in. This is true with my little girl Hope. Except she prances right on in when she sees the wonderful staff at Southdale Pet Hospital. She loves to peek her head around the corners to see what everyone is up to. The staff greets Hope at her level and are very patient with her since she can be shy sometimes. Thank you all for what you do and how passionate you are with animals. The customer service was exceptional. Hope and I can't wait to come back and visit again.

Everyone at Southdale Pet Hospital is always so pleasant, yet very professional to take care of my little Teddy, who is part Havanese and part tornado. Teddy is not my first pet I have brought to Southdale. I am a trusted repeat customer. These people are The Best of the Best!

As a new client with two 10-week-old puppies we were treated like old friends by staff and vet when we made what we considered an emergency visit. One of the puppies was becoming very lethargic and seemed to be going fast. One of the vets immediately gave the puppy an injection to hydrate her along with medicine and by the time we left she was already recovering. The next day the puppy was completely back. A very reassuring experience!

I have been taking my dogs to Southdale Pet Hospital for over 40 years and highly recommend it as a caring place to take your pet. Dr. Pete Magnuson is an outstanding vet. He not only makes good clinical decisions but follows up when there are continuing issues of concern. The support staff there is very friendly and helpful too!
