How to Save Money at Junaluska 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.

BEST VET EVER! We seen Dr. Keith Reason, I brought my 2 dogs in. One of which has extreme anxiety at the vet. I was very nervous about switching vets as I’ve been going to the same one since my dogs were pups but I am just so grateful I took a chance and did it. He was SO kind to my dogs, I’ve NEVER had a vet play with my pups, do tummy scratches, treats, the whole nine! You can just tell he truly loves the animals. He was so amazing with her, and she was not nervous with him at all! Cant recommend them enough! If your considering going here DO IT! Would give 100 stars if I could. So extremely comforting to have a vet take such an interest in my babies and making sure they are comfortable. Everyone I encounter there was extremely nice and informative. Professional and clean. I just cannot get over how amazing Dr. Reason was with my babies.

The care we have been shown, regarding our pets, is beyond amazing! They helped me with my rescue dog. They were very thorough in finding out what was wrong with 2 of our dogs (dad and son both had cancer) they had to be put down! Max , Zach & Jasmine 💕

I have had great service at this facility! I am new to the area and will not go anywhere else! I love that the two doctors I have seen are young women fresh out of school. I come from a medical family and my parents have always said that the best doctors are those right out of school. They have both been fabulous and thorough. As an internationally known groomer, I have had close relationships with many vets. I know good when I see it!
