How to Save Money at The Animal Hospitable Veterinary Clinic
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.

Dr Teresa is known in our home as “Mother Teresa” after she saved our Dalmatian’s life twice. Once by find a prescription to kill an obscure parasite and again with emergency bladder surgery. She and her team operated late into the night to save our Smokey’s life. Smokey gave us 14 years. Thank goodness for Dr Teresa … the most talented, determined, pet-loving Vet one could ever hope to find.

We have five cats and all have rec'd great care at the Animal Hospitable. Most recently we took in our barely-domesticated cat, and all the staff were very knowledgable and caring.

I have been with this clinic and Dr. Teresa for three dogs and starting with my 4th over a period of 25 years or so. The clinic staff is always very knowledgeable and responsive. Dr. T. is an outstanding diagnostician and is very good about explaining treatment and expectations. I trust her implicitly with my dogs' well-being.

I'm not usually one to write poor reviews, but I don't think this can go without saying. My mom's Yorkie had to be put to sleep after having an internal liver issue. He was internally bleeding. I showed up to comfort her and be there for, what we all know is, a traumatic event. She was in a recovery room which also doubled as the nurse station, I can only assume. My mother was on the floor crying into the caged space they had him in. There was a large dog recovering from surgery who looked med-dazed but also perturbed by what was happening 3 feet from his resting area. There were staff coming and going nearby, with no privacy. Once they knew she was euthanizing him, why they weren't put in a private room is beyond me. Ultimately she sat on a stool with him awkwardly in her lap in his bed while they did it. It all felt very unprofessional and utterly uncompassionate given we were not in a space where she could mourn and say goodbye. The dog recovering in that room obviously felt the distress, which can't be good for them. I sincerely hope this was an odd case but, needless to say, we won't ever return.
