How to Save Money at Surry 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.

Today we had to put down our sweet German Shepherd Hercules at Surry County Animal Hospital, and the compassion and kindness we received here this morning was incredible. They did everything they could for him, and treated him with respect and dignity. He passed peacefully and comfortably with us by his side and the doctor and nurse comforting us along the way. It was deeply moving. Thank you for being a gentle, kind presence on what has been the worst day of our lives. We sincerely thank the staff for there quick actions and kindness as well. God bless.

So when I moved down here, my dog ended up very sick. I just started working and barely had any money. They didn't charge me for a lot and worked with what I was able to afford. Unfortunately he passed. But with out this place he was able to have three more months with me and went peacefully. And because of their kind acts I have been taking my new pup here. They are a friendly staff and love what they are doing here. Great experiences everytime.

They were awesome. I had a very sick kitty .no vet in Ashe would see her..after calling many vets from adjoining counties they were so sweet in working her in. They did many tests to determine the problem. They gave her oxygen and shots to help her feel better. They gave us medicine to help get the water off her heart. They were very professional and compassionate to the owner (me) as well. My baby doesnt have much time left...they also determined she has cancer. But thanks to them I know she is not in pain and can live out her last days in comfort at home with her family. I would give them a 100 on a 1 to 10 scale..HIGHLY RECOMMEND..I have 2 more cats and from now on I will drive the 2 hours so they can be there vet too.

I only have kind words to say about Surry Animal Hospital and Dr. Hauser. Their attention to detail and efficiency are some of the reasons why I enjoy bringing my dog to Surry Animal Hospital. Additionally, Dr. Hauser has always taken the time needed to answer my questions and provide the best care for my dog.
