How to Save Money at PetSound Animal 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.

Recently my German Shepherd, Maverick, had an x-ray done at another vet and it appeared his prostate may have been enlarged. I panicked and immediately thought it was something really bad. Pet Sound was able to get my boy in quickly for an ultrasound and the appointment took no time. Dr. Stewart-Soule was wonderful and gave us peace of mind that our boy was okay and it might have just been a bad x-ray. She is also a fellow NC State graduate, so I know she came from a great school. Go Pack!!!

Best veterinarian I could have found. Very genuine in informing you of all options and what is necessary for your pet. They do not try to pressure you into spending money for tests and procedures that are not detrimental for your pet. They will also be honest in whether expensive treatments will actually be successful in providing a longer and positive quality of life, or whether it is better to enjoy the time that you have left with your loved one and let them go when it is time. I've also heard in reviews that this clinic is willing to set up payment plans for expensive treatment that is worth pursuing...which is very rare--usually they will coax you into a CareCredit card. I highly recommend. Very friendly staff as well.

Truly one of the best vet experiences I've ever had! The care, love, and compassion they showed my sweet boy Loki during his osteosarcoma cancer treatments was really incredible - Dr. Stewart and the staff are amazing! They also are the only Animal Hospital in the country to offer a revolutionary cancer procedure called cementoplasty. This replaces amputation for some pets, saving their leg (in some cases their lives) and has a much more minimized recovery process. I can't say enough good things about Petsound AH...

Unfortunately our sweet boy Cedric just crossed the rainbow bridge on January 22nd, 2022. He was a joy to us for almost 11 years and my soul dog. We were customers at Pet Sound for 10 years. Dr. Monce and all the other associates at Pet Sound were great to us the entire time. Great care and customer service. I also feel that their prices were substantially lower than other veterinary clinics. Dr. Monce saved us lots of money over the years and doesn't push unecessary procedures or try to drain your bank account. I can't recommend them enough. Definitely give them a try if you haven't!
