How to Save Money at Cologne 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.

In my 62 yrs of owning, rescuing & breeding Yorkies, I have never met a Vet, whom I have been as pleased to work with as Dr Hagan. He listened & respected my opinions. He was pleased 2 learn my dogs r Bile Acid tested, as 40 to 50% of Yorkies carry for liver shunt. We talked about my thoughts on vaccinations & he agreed with my protocol & agreed with my feeding raw diet, after asking me questions regarding my process to c if they were receiving everything they needed. I brought my 7 yr old AKC Champion Mikey in to c him, following an Emergency Hosp visit in which after testing, his dx was a liver infection. He went home on medication & a friend whom has received 3 of my pups over many yrs had always told me how she refuses to c any other vet. Altho Mikey had been bile acid tested as a baby & again before he sired a litter & his numbers were good l, Dr Hagan tested him again as he is now 7 yrs old. Again, his numbers remain the same numbers. He then suspected the infection was from an infection in a few of his teeth. We talked about herbal remedies can heal & protect the liver. We will be going back for a dental & removal of several teeth. I have 4 dogs so they will all b seeing Dr Hagan. In addition, I am in awe of the knowledge, friendliness & efficiency of his staff. I look forward to our next appt & Mikey’s condition being cured. Mikey is our everything. A special little guy to us & others who have received his pups who r just as beautiful & healthy as he. I have recommended Dr Hagan & his exceptional staff to others, as people look to me for advice on a good vet. I recommend Dr Hagan as a GREAT Vet.

Very frank . It can appear that he lacks compassion in his tone . However his actions in the assessment of our cat, Princess, as well as communicating every finding to us was much more appreciated. Even when our cat was taken out of our sight to obtain blood work, he continued to assess and report back to us. He came in the room quite a bit to let us know of any additional findings he encountered, outside of our view . He's honest . If bedside manner isn't the upmost important factor in your veterinarian then he's for you . If it is important for you then consider finding a new vet. This is my daughter's vet and I accompanied her on the visit . For me personally, both qualities are equally important. Ultimately, it's her decision . The front desk staff is sooo nice . They really love every pet patient they see . They are so caring. They really care . They ask questions . I just can't say enough about them. They call to follow up to .

I have been bringing my dog and cats here for over 6 years. Dr. Hagan and all the staff have always been understanding and helpful. My dog has had a lot of skin issues and allergies, so there was a lot of medications and changes that we had to do & Dr. Hagan always went above and beyond to explain everything to us. Same with any time we brought in our cats for any issues.
