How to Save Money at Ansede 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’d definitely recommend this place. We’ve taken our pups here to be fixed, for preventative & urgent care, as well as grooming. They don’t overcharge or try to sell you a bunch of unnecessary stuff, and they’re thorough. The lady running the front desk is good at following up too.

Addendum to review below written a week ago: I've done what I consider much reading and learning about cats, and believe I have a better understanding of why my little kitty cat Charlie (I called him FreshKitty) passed so suddenly. I won't go into it all, but I do understand more now. Charlie was a short black hair domestic male rescue kitty set to be euthanized when our neighbor who is much involved in rescue pets. I mean we got him like the day he was about to be put down. He had herpes when we got him at around a month old. He lived about 6.5 years. Apparently cats can quit eating and drinking for things as minor as having a toothache. Point is they are complex animals. I hold no ill will against Ansede's. It was just so sudden and we were close. He would climb on me and groom/knead my hair. We were tight. The sudden dying is not uncommon in cats. Sorry to be long winded. Hope the info helps someone else is all. In contrast, we had a dog and she had a long life and we had plenty of time to prepare, but not with my little kitty. Life lesson learned. Thank you. I don't know why my kitty cat, Charlie, died....why he suddenly stopped eating and drinking at around 5-6 years of age. Took him in, he was chubby at nearly 18lbs. He gotta a bunch of shots and something called 'the banana' syringe. We changed his diet using same food...Purina One Indoor Advantage... but at 1/4 cup every 12 hours. He's not happy off the get go but adapts and loses weight and returns to more of his old self...playful, more energy. After about two weeks of that we get lime green vomit and no more eating, followed soon by no drinking of water. Take him back..more shots for nausea. He stopped the green vomit but never ate again no matter what we did. It got to where he couldn't walk without falling over. Take him back to have him put down. I don't know what caused my cat to stop eating and drinking. It wasn't diabetes because we were told he didn't have diabetes. He was young and playful, and even when he was chubby, he was playful. We learned about the 1/4 cup twice a day and it was going so well. I will never understand. Purely indoor cat...no other pets.
