How to Save Money at VCA Midpark 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.

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.

Please keep looking in my opinion this place does not care about animals as much as they do the cash! Think twice about purchasing any of their plans and please read what you sign. They are quick to take the cash and will leave you hanging. I paid every month for a pet plan for over 6 years for my lab and when he was sick and really needed them they couldn’t see him. Just left me hanging and told me to take him to ER because they were down a doctor that day “how convenient” , next time we will make sure he is sick on a day you’re fully staffed. Chronically short staffed but ready to take your money. Booking a well visit takes over a month to schedule. Stayed with this location even after moving 1 hour away and all I’ve received is a hard time. They never answer the phone and don’t return calls or it’s just mine they ignore. Oh and by the way Yoder is alive thanks for never checking on him. Don’t believe me? Give them a call and see for yourself.

I was satisfied with my experience. I had to have my 12 year old Dog put down due to medical reasons. The staff was very caring and supportive. I rescued Buddy at 8 weeks old out of the Arizona Mohave Desert and he gave me the honor of 12 wonderful years! Rest in piece my precious baby boy (Buddy). We'll see each other again...

We got to meet Dr. Suhie. What a great doc. Super knowledgeable and very caring. He even made our very nervous girl feel comfortable. The vet techs are always amazing 😍

I love this place!! Prices are fair and the vets are awesome, my kitten see’s Dr.Suhie and my oldest boy see’s Dr.Juan, both so gentle and sweet towards my boys, their vet techs are also so sweet to my boys. The front desk girls are so sweet too :) Surgery pricing is pretty high but they’re honest about pricing. A basic wellness exam and meds don’t cost that much at all, I definitely recommend this place to take your fur baby to!

This is a great vet for your animal for vaccines or a sick pet . My cat had an abscess in his leg and , I called same day appointment they took care of him . They give the course of treatment and the cost up front . They accept Care Credit and all major credit cards. The have taken care of two of my cats and they are great ! They discussed any other problems my cat may have and explained the medicine they were injecting in him . The price was reasonable for the type of problem my cat had . Thanks much VCA Midpark conveniently located off Smith and Sheldon RD.
