How to Save Money at Hopewell 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.

So after getting  the dreadful cancer (osteosarcoma) diagnosis for my sweet dog Ava, we had to amputate her front leg (not @ H.A.H.) Moving forward with her aftercare, we decided to not pursue chemotherapy and to take a  Homeopathic/holistic approach. I'm so happy we did.  We looked no further than Hopewell Animal Hospital.  We've been there in the past with previous family members and have always been happy with the care given there. Since then, Dr. Buchanan and Dr. Scheck have embraced TCVM (traditional Chinese veterinary medicine) and, I truly believe in this ancient methodology of healing and health. I don't know where to begin, but I am so happy that my Ava is under the care of Dr. Buchanan.  After our initial visit, I knew that I was in the right place and that Dr. Buchanan was the right choice. Her level of expertise, care, and compassion towards Ava was nothing short of exceptional. Dr. Buchanan leaves no stone unturned and clearly shows her expertise in traditional and TCVM. Dr. Buchanan personally called on a wellness check on Ava after a bout with her stomach. I highly recommend Hopewell Animal Hospital. Thank you Dr. Buchanan and your team.

Best vets and vet techs in the area. I’ve brought all of my dogs here and have never had a problem. They have a lot of respect for all the people and animals that come in and take care of my anxious dog perfectly.
