How to Save Money at Queen City 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.

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.

I moved to Charlotte recently and I haven’t found a vet for my pet bunny yet because it’s very hard to find vets that will see a rabbit since they are considered exotic. Well my bun was displaying some symptoms of a cold and I was pretty worried about him. QCAH was able to get him in next day and the care he received was phenomenal. Every vet tech loved on him, gave him lots of treats and love to help him feel more calm. Dr. Black was also so warm and friendly and did such a great job with my bun. Truly 5 star care. I felt so at ease and an added plus was that they offered humans beer or wine 😂 really loved the care and treatment received by every employee at this center and will continue to use them in the future.

I’m a relatively new client of QCAH and I’m happy with both their fees and service. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable and loves animals. Both of my dogs received excellent care and love! You can tell by Ellie’s smile that she is calm and happy.

We just moved to Charlotte with our 11-year-old mini schnauzer who was in the middle of a workup for liver disease when we relocated. The team at QCAH got us in within a week of arriving and reviewed all of his previous records before our arrival. They did a full assessment and had some additional less-invasive recommendations for lab tests and diagnostics, and great connections with specialists in the area that they plan to defer to if necessary. Everyone on the team has been so knowledgeable, accommodating, and kind. Our dog also loved the fear-free environment with the calming music and a rug in the room!

Took my cat here for the first time, and knew immediately this would be our forever vet. They put cat nip on the floor and diffuse feliway to encourage calmness. I was able to call same day and get an appointment as my cat was very sick. When I arrived they knew who we were and immediately got us situated in a room. I also loved the open communication with our vet as well as the vet tech. They both took the time to sit down and walk us through the details of everything. I am now excited for vet visits where in the past it has been an extremely stressful experience. If you’re considering this veterinary office, do it. Best vet experience yet!

I can’t speak highly enough of Queen City Animal Hospital. My dog, Zoe, contracted a nasty case of canine influenza last Fall and spent almost 5 months battling pneumonia and lingering symptoms. The doctors and staff at QCAH were thorough and gentle with Zoe across our countless visits, and they were beyond patient, gracious, and understanding with me and my endless calls, questions, and anxieties. I am truly truly grateful for this practice and I honestly don’t know what we would have done without them!
