How to Save Money at Roanoke 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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.

We are from out of state. I tried several vet hospitals and no one would see us. I called Roanoke Animal Hospital soon after they opened. I told them my situation with my dogs eye and tummy. They had me come in that morning at 9:40. Hospital was clean. Staff extremely nice and very helpful. Only waited about 5 minutes even though I was late because I got lost. They allow you to be with your dog at all times. Doctor was very knowledgeable and checked everything on my little Lucy. They gave us medication and said to call anytime if we need them!! Very impressed and will use them whenever we need a vet service while we are here at the lake. Would highly recommend!!

Just had my first vet visit with my kitcat yesterday. I was terrified but every single person was friendly and helpful. The receptionist who answered my a million questions while setting up the appointment, the nurse who kept me informed about what was happening and what I could expect, and the vet who explained treatment and options to me clearly and emphatically. It went so much better than I ever could have thought.

I called concerning the problems I was having with my Dog Tonka, They gave me an appointment the same afternoon, although I was a patient at another clinic for years, I was not satisfied with them and felt they were just taking my money. Once we got there, we all knew it was time for him to go. The best part is they didn't force me because it was up to me, when I was ready and when I knew he was ready. Abagail was the best, she was very kind an patient with me. It was like she knew my pain. I was told when I get ready call and I could get in the same day so the ordeal or pain will not be prolonged. Two days later, I called and we went in. I was amazed at the room they had set up for end of life services. We (Tonka and I) felt calm and comfortable. I wrapped him in his blanket on his carry bed because I thought it would be a cold room with bright lights and stainless steel tables. It was just the opposite. They gave me as much time as I needed before and after the procedure. I did not prolong it knowing it would be bad for both (Tonka and I) but I did cry in the parking lot on the bench for about 15 mins before heading home. Thank you Roanoke Animal Hospital for making our last experience together a pleasant one. A special shout out to Abigail, she is a terrific person and employee.

We love Dr Brantley, she has an amazing personality and is very patient with my mean grumpy man Ace. She even gave my comfort in the time off need when my dog had to have emergency surgery to remove bladder stones. He seems to like her too because he usually wouldn’t allow anyone to handle him the way she does!! Five stars here!!!

I love this place. My kitty had a sore ear and they saw him right away. My dog ripped a toenail off, again they took him in quickly. I am new to the area so I had called to other places and it would be a week before they could see him. I am happy to have found such a caring place for my pets.
