How to Save Money at Brunswick 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.

My 13mo old pup got sick during the week. By Friday I thought our regular Vet. Had a good handle on getting her back healthy. Friday night Saturday morning we found blood in her stool. After several calls to different Animal Hospitals I spoke with B. A. Hosp and they were awesome. They locked us into an appointment and saw Dr Katie who was very thorough and her and the staff were very caring. I'm happy to say she is showing signs of getting back to normal. Seems like these things never happen during business hours and for coastal NC this was awesome.

Emmett's new haircut. Last photo is what his hairdo used to look like. Everyone thought he was a fat cat, but actually it's all the full hair literally he has ALL over. He's in a box as always, when we receive a package. Thanks Brunswick Animal Hospital, you not only gave our sweet buddy a new style, but took care of all the medical stuff as well while he slept. He never knew what happened and that's what we like. No pain, and definitely he felt no stress whatsoever...only just being there was the only stress he did feel, but he did soon get over it quickly. He's back to himself now being the spoiled little one, and bacik home.

I just had my first visit here with my dog, Oscar. He was a nervous wreck, but they treated him so sweetly, it wasn't long before he settled down. Such a great group of people, this will definitely be our permanent care team for Oscar, everyone was very friendly, personable and professional. Wonderful visit!

I was very pleased with the care and treatment of my 2 doggies. The office is warm and friendly which makes you feel welcome. I was especially pleased with how economical they are because I have encountered much higher fees in other areas of Brunswick County. But I would highly recommend Brunswick Animal Hospital. They will take care of your fur babies without compromising your pockets!

Dr. Katie is such a wonderful doctor. My ‘Nervous Nellie’ dog can be difficult. The sweet tech (I believe her name is Chloe) and doctor Katie were so patient and loving with him. I felt like they were very caring and interested in helping him feel his best. Thank you both!!
