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.

I've had Dr Johnson as a vet for years, starting with my cat, then my Yorkie Max and now my Shih Tzu Gi Gi. He recently raised his office visit from $59 to$61, not bad. His receptionist June, is awesome. He also has boarding available which I use.i highly recommend him for your pets

Dr. Johnson is an amazing vet! He has treated the animals I have brought to him the way I would want someone to treat a family member in the hospital. I brought him my Guinea Pig Pat that was having a tough time after being neutered and he came in on an off day and looked after Pat and made sure to start him an antibiotics within an hour of calling him. And he didn't charge me a single dollar for the emergency care! I couldn't believe it, when I asked how much it would cost to leave him overnight he said' "I'm not worried about that, I'm just worried about Pat right now." I thought that meant I would be paying a ton but he literally meant he didn't care about the money but just making sure Pat was okay. I have moved to several states due to work and he is the first vet I have had in a years that really cares for animals above profit. Easiest 5 star review I have given!

Worst vet ever I met (Johnson). I was treated very badly. I’m a different race with an accent. Very rude and aggressive person. His office is very smelly. Gave me a lecture because I wasn’t replying to his invitation advertisement. It looks like he was very upset that I don’t come running to him as soon as he sends his invitation ads. Told me that it costs him money and I couldn’t even bother to call him back and let him know to stop sending me his ads so he wouldn’t loose money on postcards. Save your energy and go somewhere else. Also started paraphrasing and putting words in my mouth and writing it to my pet’s papers. Doesn’t worse your time at all.

Dr. Johnson is truly one of a kind. He has qualities that every single other veterinarian lacks; compassion, caring, sympathetic, trustworthy just to name a few. If only all veterinarians were like him the world would be a better place. Thank you for all you have done for our family Dr. !!
