How to Save Money at Critical & Emergency Care

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 last thing I wanted to do is go to an emergency vet an hour away from home, but our experience was great! The facilities are clean, very professional, organized, calm, checked us in, ran diagnostics and had a diagnosis and treatment plan in under an hour. Lots of parking. Thoughtfully designed waiting room. Staff throughout was wonderful. Competent, knowledgeable, and compassionate. We will be heading back there for surgery soon, and feel as though we are in very good hands.

I love love love this place. The atmosphere was great. The staff is comforting. When my 14-year-old min pin had a stroke, the doctors called me regularly to keep me updated on his status. They called me to get approval of all testing they wanted to perform with a price before doing anything when he was released They made sure I understood his aftercare. and meds. I was already very impressed, but what got me the most was when I received follow-up phone calls from each specialist. That took care of him while he was hospitalized. I know some of you are thinking a stroke. That's a lot of money in the answer to your thoughts are YES...., they are very pricey. But worth every penny. I recommend them very, very, very much. You will not go wrong with leaving your dog/cat in their care here.

The care and compassion that we were shown during a very difficult time was very much appreciated. The staff and Dr. were extremely reassuring and took the time to explain each step of our dogs journey to us to prepare us for her passing.

My like Black Pearl, "Luna Mae" had to go to an emergency vet hospital first on Genesee St. near Transit Rd by the airport. She was acting sullen. Totally out of her normal. She posted as having a fever of unknown origin. Thank God all else was normal, blood work etc. Was referred 2 days after to Hanburg to this hospital. Was there another 2&1/2 days, Both hospitals performed a battery of tests on my furbaby. Fever kept spiking over the days in the hospitals. She wouldn't eat, or drink. I prayed all day. I also visited her so she wouldn't think I had abandoned her. She's my heart ❤️ 💙 she is said to have made many friends among the techs, and vet. They kept up with me and called 3xs a day on her progress, and at nite they answered my calls and were so very caring. Thank God I had the funds as it's no way a cheap cost. But glad to pay it for the attention she was given. I say I'd your pet is in need go here. You won't be sorry. Altho I'd paid the full amount, I was approved for a care credit account for any other time I'm in need of care for my furkids. I pray not, but its good to have. Took like 10 minutes to get approved. Not everyone has all the funds to get the care they deserve for their pets. So get it ahead of any issue so you're covered. It is worth it. Blessings to all furkids as they're our family.
