How to Save Money at Animal Health Center

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.

The staff and doctors are amazing here. When my dog woke up he was struggling to breathe. They took him right away and started treating him. They reviewed next steps and let me know I could call for updates at any time. When they called me, they went thru the diagnosis, next steps, what was happening and why, how they were addressing the issues and how he was doing. They did not rush me off the phone but rather made sure I understood and was feeling better if I could give them a million stars, I would. They saved his life. Thank you so much!! Highly highly recommend.

Dr. Haroush And staff at Animal Health Center have done an amazing job caring for our Kobe girl. She was only 3 months old and fell off of our loft balcony. She broke her hip and needed surgery for a speedy recovery. Due to the intensity of her injuries Kobe was required to stay at the animal hospital for several days prior to and after her surgery. Because she had been recently adopted by my fiancé and I we wanted to make sure she knew we were still here and would get her the care she needed. Dr. Haroush And staff allowed me visitation to see her and because she did so well with surgery she was able to come home earlier than expected. Her recovery time was minimal and Kobe was quickly back to herself running and playing. We are grateful for the care that was given by this amazing team!

Dr. Yossi Haroush has been amazing. After a failed femur reposition elsewhere, Dr. Haroush recommended a surgical procedure. He gave us great follow up care and instructions. Nothing came to a surprise because he explained everything in detail. Our pup is back in good health and it's all thanks to Dr. Haroush.

Miscommunication in this place is huge, and it seems like they love your pockets so be aware of this! I was there on Monday/Tuesday and was told my dog needed a physical test ($149) in order to determine whether or not he could continue his prescription diet, I was never informed he needed a fecal test as well, which is extra money, I was told if they had to add any other procedures that would be extra money, but I already knew the deal so I told my mom to be aware and to only pay what was promised, and she still was charged for a fecal test that I was not aware of… and because the sad reality is that if you’re dumb, they’ll pick your pockets, I don’t mind paying extra for a fecal test, and if I’m making a big deal out of this, is because of their poor communication.

Doctor Haroush is the absolute worst. He is emotional and unprofessional and instructs his reception staff to lie to you. They are shady about releasing your dog's medical records and try to coerce you to change your *honest* Google review before selling you the medicine that your dog needs. They do not care about your pet, only about their business. Please choose better for your animal. You've been warned.
