How to Save Money at Coddle Creek 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.

Dr Tanner is one of best vet doctors I have seen from going to many other places. He gave Mia a thorough exam, treated her and provided her with the correct diet. She has been healthy and clear of all her symptoms. Something other doctors in the area could not treat or find causes of her allergies. His staff is wonderful, kind and caring to Mia. I have found the perfect animal hospital who cares about your pet (family)!! This is the best veterinarian hospital I have experienced! Thank you and your staff for your service!

Everyone at Coddle Creek Animal Hospital are very caring, competent, compassionate, personable and professional. I just can't express the gratitude I have for them, Our first visit was to have our beloved kitten put to sleep, and they were all so caring and accommodating. They had a warmly decorated room for the procedure, with a comfortable upholstered settee, pet treats and human treats, a big box tissues readily available and two big, soft cozy blankets to lay our precious kitten on. We got a beautifully finished thick, round plaster, neat, clear paw print from our kitten, with a light blue ribbon tied in a bow, that we picked up later that week. Just a few days ago we took our other kitten to Coddle Creek for a URI and that visit went smooth, also. I feel they don't try to nickel and dime you or try to add on services or overcharge you. Very reasonable pricing. There are many vets in the area that are a lot closer, but none that I have been satisfied or happy with. Coddle Creek Animal Hospital lives up to their remarkably high reviews on line, Hence, they have another very satisfied customer for life!

Dr Long and her amazing staff has been taking care of our sweet Murphy for 13 years.. There’s no one I would rather have share his journey that Coddle Creek Animal Hospital staff.. No matter what the situation down through the years they’ve always been kind, courteous, caring and very skilled with their care for him. I’m thankful to have them be a part of our sweet boys life.. He loves them..

Great place to take your furry babies ! Staff is outstanding and compassionate. Dr. Tanner is great and handles your furry family member as if they were his own pets. I have taken my baby Connor here for 14 years, from puppy to senior dog Coddle Creek and Dr. Tanner have taken excellent care of my sweet boy. Best veterinary care in the Concord area.
