How to Save Money at Davidson 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.

I cannot say enough about this vet. The Dr. is the best I have come across. You may have to wait but he is only one man. It’s expected. If you’re looking for a vet who cares about you and your animals this is the place you’re looking for. You will have to wait because everyone wants their pet to be seen there.

10/10 they were very thorough with my new kitten and got her feeling much better. Everyone is super nice. We will definitely be taking our other cat here from now on

The front staff are rude and inconsiderate. Nobody wants to take their pets to a vet and they make the process even worse. They still don't take appointments so you end up waiting all day. When you try and call in, you get a "hold", no "hello" "can I help you" "PLEASE hold". We have taken our pet to Jordan Animal hospital- hands down 100% better! They even sent a follow up text the next day to check on our pet.

If you have time and patience to wait, this place is great for you! During last experience there, I had to bring my 3-year-old twins, plus our two large pit bulls to be seen for routine exams. We sat for 2+ hours before being seen. Then of course, when they finally take our first dog, my son has to use the restroom. I panicked! He was freshly potty trained and JUST gotten the hang of not having accidents, but there’s zero access to a restroom! I couldn’t leave because they had my dog. Needless to say, their plants got watered. Davidson Animal hospital needs to get over Covid restrictions. They need to make appointments. They need to at the least get a port-a-potty outside for those they continue to make wait!
