How to Save Money at Animal Emergency Center of Las Vegas and Henderson
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.

We had to take our Brimley on an early Sunday morning as he had trouble breathing though his nose. Dr. Vriend took a look at him and recommended he get a CT Scan at another nearby hospital. He was compassionate and thorough regarding his treatment options given his age (almost 17) and the potential cancer in his sinus. We took his extensive report to the other hospital and they agreed with his assessment. We had to make the emotionally difficult decision to give him the soft goodbye. While we are still mourning, I am thankful that Animal Emergency Center of Las Vegas and Henderson were able to provide care for him at the time. I know you never see pet parents at their best being an Animal ER and I appreciate the way we were treated when we were there. It's such a selfless role but it's for the greater good. Thanks again everyone for the service your provide pet parents.

Last week we rushed our dog to this facility because she unexpectedly collapsed. Long story short- cancer. The amount of compassion and empathy shown to us in our sweet dogs last moments will never be forgotten. They explained everything to us and what was going to happen as she was put to sleep. The staff cared, you could see it and feel it. We are so grateful for them. I highly recommend them for your pets end of life needs. You won’t regret it. We left knowing they did everything they could and she didn’t suffer. Thank you Tomas, Calen, Dr. Joel Farnsworth and the receptionist (I didn’t catch her name). May all the animals passed look down and know you’re the good ones. 🫶🏼 Rest Easy T

Visiting from Texas and our beloved family pet got real sick and we had to let him go. The staff were AWESOME. They showed the utmost compassion and treated him with love and respect. We were able to spend as much time with him as needed and were never rushed. This clinic is highly recommended.

I can’t sing their praises enough. At 4am, we had to take our dog Jodie of 17 years in to say goodbye. My husband is deathly allergic to cats, so he was not able to come in. The nurse saw the look on my husband’s face as we got to the door and asked the doctor if he could do the procedure outside so my husband could be there. They did. I can’t think of a bigger act of compassion in my lifetime than what this hospital and their staff did for us that morning. It brings me to tears again. The doctor sent us a handwritten card, a picture and clay imprint of Jodie’s paw, and a few other things. Bring your fur babies here.

I cannot recommend them enough. Our beloved pup got really sick out of nowhere and Animal Emergency Center was recommended to us by our vet. We took her over there and were instantly taken care of. She was there for 4 days and all of the staff were so kind to our whole family. They gave us regular updates and anytime I would call they were happy to let us know how she was doing. She was in isolation with pneumonia but anytime we wanted to see her they would allow us to gown up and go back to see her. Both Dr. Schlaich and Dr. O’Dea were so helpful and walked us through the entire process. They were realistic about the diagnosis but could also tell when we needed a bit of hope. Perfect bedside manners. You can also tell how much everyone there wants to help all the sick animals. Unfortunately, we had to put her down (not any fault to the vets) but Dr. Schlaich and the entire staff were so kind and warm and helped put us at ease when making that horrible decision. If I ever have a sick pet again, I am immediately going here. Thank you to everyone at Animal Emergency Center for all of your love and attention you gave Biscuit.
