How to Save Money at Linwood Pet 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.

Great staff! Knowledgeable vet! Friendly, caring atmosphere. Love this place! The whole package is great. From the first phone call to make an appointment to the final See you next time! as I walk out the door. I highly recommend Linwood Pet Hospital. I have 6 cats and have needed veterinary care for a wide variety of services and they have been wonderful in every situation... from a brand new kitten's Upper Respiratory Infection to my 14 year-old's final moments.. and everything in between. The quality of care, genuine concern and treatment we've received is beyond measure. There is well over a dozen vets closer to me but I drive passed them all to come to Linwood Pet Hospital. This place is special!

I couldn't have had a better experience at this facility. From the time I arrived, I was comfortable with the waiting accommodations, followed by prompt attention and a specialized vet and tech who spent ample amount of time with my pet and I, thoroughly discussing and evaluating my concerns. They got down on the floor with her for +15 minutes and had me walk her outside to see how she moved and again, address my concerns. I highly recommend Dr. D to anyone who a fur baby!

On vacation and our cat was constipated. Linwood Pet Hospital was only 30 minutes away and open till midnight. Wait was a couple of hours, but they had two very sick cats come in one after the other. X-rays were quick, as well as the diagnosis. We left her for treatment and picked her up in a couple of hours. Staff was fantastic from curbside check in to check out. Special thanks to our vet tech, Reed and Dr. Cooper. And prices were inline with an urgent care facility. Thanks again! Our little girl is feeling much better!

Great customer service, technicians are great to see if you choose not to see the physician, great hours. You can ask for a curbside or in-office visit, urgent care and emergency room visits 24 hours/7days a week. Communication between the office staff and customers is great. Today the technician came to my car, took Hsrlem inside and brought him back after his vaccine. Literally a 5 minute visit. Answered all my questions and off we went. I never left my car!

Excellent care, fantastic staff all around. Our Vet moved out of the state recently, we had decided on the Linwood Pet Hospital as our new home. In the meantime, prior to becoming an established patient, one of our dogs had two situations yesterday where we needed help. There were many critical emergencies yesterday and we witnessed the best of the best from the office staff, our amazing technician (I wish I could remember her name) & our new Veterinarian Dr. Payne. They were doing everything so well to help everyone in need. Not only did Dr. Payne & the technician help us out but they both provided reasons why our dog could be struggling with these two issues & what we can try in the future. We may even be able to prevent these issues from reoccurring now. It is also worth noting that we have never come across such a caring AND knowledgeable technician in all our years having dogs. We learned so much yesterday and we are so grateful to all. I must also say Zeke loved everyone. He usually shakes and pants for hours even after a vet visit. He didn’t shake once, he wasn’t scared and didn’t even pant in the car on the way home! He was loved and he felt safe which means the world to us. Thank you!
