How to Save Money at Imperial Animal Hospital, LLC

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.

Specific to the grooming ONLY am I commenting here. If you have a Poodle or a Doodle - do NOT go here for grooming. They do not understand how to cut curly hair. I brought my 9-month-old Aussiedoodle in for a bath and grooming. You can see the DRASTIC and AWFUL job they did. I literally didn’t even recognize my own dog when she walked out. I was in such shock. The staff just kept making excuses. They know this is an awful job and didn’t want to admit it. My dog came out with almost no fur. They cut her whiskers and her eyelashes completely OFF and now she’s home SHIVERING because she usually has fur. Like, her fur is just fuzz. We are livid!!!!! We will never come here again for grooming. The animal hospital and the boarding are fine. This is just about the grooming.

Imperial deserves more than 5 stars in my book. Their entire staff both on the hospital side and the Pet Lodge side combine extreme competence with incredible caring and love for the pets in their care. As evidence of what we think about them, they are located 23 miles from our house and obviously, there are lots of very good vets much closer, but Imperial has so impressed us with their consistence excellence in every respect that we have not ever considered changing. When your pet really needs to be seen urgently, they make that happen. For one example, one of our dogs developed a big lump on one of his front legs suspiciously quickly and one of the vets came in on his day off so that the lump could be removed almost immediately (turned out to be benign). Another quality we value really highly is we have boarded our dogs during travel and they post photos and the staff really cares about them and all their charges and we feel they could not possibly be in better hands. Whatever special food or need your pet has, they make that happen. They also board other animals such as rabbits and cats and with their new building on the hospital side, the Pet Lodge/grooming side has been upgraded and they have super nice facilities for boarding, but it is the attention to detail and caring of the staff that really makes the place, not the facilities which are fabulous. They are also amazing with pets that need special care to convalesce and can do "hospital-like" care after a pet has had surgery or anything major like that and requires more care than what any normal owner could provide at home. Over nearly 8 years, we have not been disappointed a single time I can remember. I feel we were fortunate to find them and our pets have all lived longer and better lives thanks to them.

LOVE all the doctors here. They recently took care of our sweet boy Taz and I swear kept him going long enough for us to get home from overseas and have him with us in his last days. The kennel staff are all 'earth angels' in our estimation. They have taken such good care of our dog and cat babies through the years. 💕

My sweet Georgia had surgery here yesterday. I cannot say enough good things about our experience. They communicated multiple times leading up to her surgery, providing us with all of the information we would need on our surgery day. The day of they texted me multiple times while she was in their care. Surgery went well. I’m so happy I found a great local veterinarian hospital for my sweet girl🧡 Thank you!

The grooming department is top notch. I have 2 standard poodles that have been clientele here for over 8 years. They do a fabulous job every time. Love love Chris and all the groomers.
