How to Save Money at Kavanagh 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.

My Morkie Bailey just recently had to be put down. Dr Parker and her assistant came to my home and made the entire experience less traumatic. They were so sympathetic and friendly. They took care of Bailey as if she was their own. So grateful!

My precious angel had to be put down two months ago. Marianne at the front desk, the veterinarian, and vet tech all made one of the worst days of my life a little easier. I am so thankful I was able to bring my sweet Niki girl to this office to have her final moments be under the care of these lovely people. I knew from the moment I called and spoke with Marianne that this office was very special. Thank you all from my heart for being so kind and compassionate to me and my fiancé during this difficult time.

Dr. K was so professional. I took my dog there who is old and having troubles walking. Dr. K listened to me intently. Brodie needs some work so Dr. K has a solid game plan to get him back to a comfortable way. I felt very comfortable here like he cared very much. His sweet wife who works there was also so helpful with explaining everything to us. This facility was super clean and very organized.

My dog started limping quite a bit so I wanted to see a vet quickly; they took me in last minute and were super nice/ professional. They also let me attend the visit which is a big deal for me - I know a lot of other vets that are still not allowing people to go into the office with their pets and I can't understand that (how do you know they administered all the vaccines and did the exam appropriately etc.?). Again this facility allowed me in and was very good!

All 4 of my cats were very sick and both Marianne & Dr. Kavanagh helped save them by fitting us in for last minute appointments, calling all over to get us the necessary medication compounded, constantly calling to check how our cats are doing, etc. With so many offices now being owned by groups, it’s refreshing to find a vet that is smaller & privately owned. They genuinely care about your pets - if you’re looking for a vet, look no further! They’re the best.
