How to Save Money at Paws At Play Veterinary 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've been going here since I got my dog in 2016. I am very happy with the care we've gotten here. Dr. Stall is very informative and attentive to my pets, she's helped us out through rough diagnoses. Even though the vet is not always a fun place to be neither my dog nor cat ever mind coming for visits. Everyone is super kind and always checks in on how my pets are doing! I would recommend Paws at Play to everyone (and I certainly have referred my whole family here).

We are grateful for Dr. Stall's great medical care and for the professional, gentle staff at Paws At Play. Our senior dog Panda is comfortable and happy during our appointments here, which is most important, because she would not even get out of the car at our previous animal hospital. Thanks for all you do!

This veterinary practice is extraordinary. The staff treat all my pets like their own and truly love and care for them. They reassure me when I’m worried about my cats’ and dogs’ health, and they take the time to talk with me and answer questions. I never doubt their abilities, and they even got my selective dog to absolutely adore them and do so wonderful for vet services. Absolutely recommend to everyone!

I switched our cat to Paws at Play because her previous vet wanted to sedate her for her visit due to “aggressive” behavior. I knew right there that something was wrong with her visit because our cat is not aggressive. I am so happy I followed my guts. Our cat Fresca did amazing during her annual visit at Paws at Play. It was visible the staff’s love and care for our fur babies. Thank you!!!

Boston 1st time visiting this Vet that's attached to his daycare! They communicated with me about his appt via text and made me feel safe that they would see him while he was at daycare without me present. And the prices are AWESOME cheaper than his normal vet...I will definitely be back
