How to Save Money at North Olmsted 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.

Recently SEVERAL of my friends have taken their animals to you on my suggestion. Thank you for taking such good care of their cats and dogs. Also, A special thank you for seeing a friend of mine the same day , as her Vet would not see her same day, and her cat was critically ill. You confirmed her suspicion that the cat needed to be put down, and she applauded your compassion and decency . She said, even though you weren’t in her city, she was going to come to see you when she gets her next pet. Thanks again for all you do.

Dr. Raina has cared for my pets for the past three years from saying goodbye to my senior girl Sassy to my clumbsy puppy Deli. I have never met a veterinarian more caring and compassionate than Dr. Raina. I would recommend no other practice than North Olmsted Animal Hospital! His wife is also amazing! I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

Needed a rushed appointment for my sick dog and they scheduled for the next day. My dog had an allergic reaction and the doctor and staff did an excellent job getting him healthy. Very compassionate and excellent knowledge of animal care. I am changing vets from my old one because of the high level of satisfaction from the staff.

Dr. Raina and his staff (Sally, Mary and Patty) are the best! I would not trust anyone else with my three dogs (goldendoodle, newfoundland and border collie). We have moved all over due to my husband's job and have had multiple dogs for the past 25 years (so I have experience with many veterinarians in multiple states). You will not find a more caring and honest veterinarian. My first experience with Dr. Raina was back in 2021, my goldendoodle was very ill and I called over a dozen vet clinics to see my dog. All of the other clinics refused to see him because he was not an established patient (we had just moved to the area months before he became ill). They all said two to three weeks wait to get him in. Our dog would have died by then. But Dr. Raina took him the same day that I called, and he stayed after hours to see our goldendoodle. North Olmsted Animal Hospital is a 30-40 minute drive (depending on traffic) from our house but I am happy to make the drive because I know that Dr. Raina will take good care of my fur babies. He is very knowledgeable and doesn't try to guilt you into unnecessary tests or procedures like some veterinarians do. He is very reasonably priced and always very upfront about the cost. He understands how much a part of the family animals are and he is so kind and gentle with them. His office staff is always very welcoming, helpful and friendly. I am so thankful for Dr. Raina and his staff.

Reposting since it keeps getting removed and I’ll KEEP POSTING IT Their review of North Olmsted Animal Clinic was removed NOW FOUR times in the past 3 days by the clinic. PLEASE, PLEASE BEWARE OF THIS PLACE! It is bad enough to lose a pet, but how she died was just horrific! I brought Sheba in for a chronic ear polyp that was infected. They were extremely busy that day, the waiting room was full, so I was told to sign a paper & come back in a few hours. When I picked her up she was unresponsive! I have never had an animal released to me in that condition! They claimed the anesteshia just needed to wear off. WHAT ANESTHESIA? We never discussed anesthesia, they were just supposed to clean out her ear and administer meds! I took her home and agonizing hours passed by. My Mother & I anxiously waited for Sheba to come around...she never did. Suddenly she twitched, a gasp of distress, then coughed up a large mass of blood. My mother and I watched her take her last breath on my living room floor. - No#1 HOW DO YOU LET A CAT GO HOME UNRESPONSIVE? - No#2 HOW DO YOU EVEN CONSIDER PUTTING A 13 yr OLD CAT UNDER ANESTHESIA WITHOUT doing blood work to see what condition her health was in and discussing with the owner? ESPECIALLY AFTER I GAVE YOU HER MEDICAL RECORDS THAT CLEARLY STATED SHE HAD EARLY SIGNS OF KIDNEY DISEASE. - No# 3 HOW DO YOU have a customer sign an anesteshia consent form WITHOUT EXPLAINING or DISCUSSING ANYTHING, YOU JUST RUSH THEM OUT THE DOOR! - No#4 Why did your son physically take my cat from me and give her back to me? After minimal research of his name, I see that he is only an office coordinator? What qualifies him to handle clients pets and in his own words"I had to give her a bath because she was combative and urinated on herself." He also said that he is learning from his dad. I thought only registered vet techs and the vet could legally handle animals in a veterinary clinic. - No# 5 WHO inserted the tube in Sheba's ear that most likely caused the hemmorage that ultimately took her life? WHO murdered my sweet angel Sheba? I'll never know...but now my mission is to share her story. If I can prevent even one person's pet from succumbing to the same fate, then Sheba will not have died in vain. Please dear Lord forgive me for bringing her here! Shame on you North Olmsted Animal Hospital, Shame on you ! Thank God for Faithful Companion crematory service for picking her up & bringing her back home to me!
