How to Save Money at Porter Pet 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.

Great place to get your cat nuetured. I was looking everywhere for a place to get my baby boy neutered. Glad I came across this place. The waiting list is not long. The sign up is easy. And the whole process was quick and smooth. When he got home from surgery he was good(I was so worried before the procedure) today is the 4th day after surgery and his incision look almost fully healed. And they have good pricing..very affordable and their work is clean ..Thank you !

I have been coming to Porter Pet Hospital for about 4 years now. Dr. Brucchieri and her staff are absolutely wonderful. From vet to receptionist, you will have the best experience. Jen always greets me with a smile, and Dr. B always makes sure my pets and I are comfortable. I have a very reactive rescue who came from a bad situation and she always accommodates to his quirks. She is the only vet I have ever gone to that sits down on the ground, for both my nervous Nellie's, and bonds with them before starting her exam. Today my 2 year old huskydoodle had his annual visit and he was very nervous. However, because Dr. B took the time and sat with him before his exam, he calmed down and will in the future, correlate the experience to positivity. She never pressured him into anything. She is wonderful at communicating with humans as well. Dr. B and her staff are incredibly knowledgeable and look at all facets of treatment so you can have the most educated knowledge for yourself on the best course of treatment. The clinic is also very clean and modern. 10 stars!

Wow do I have incredible things to say about this place. After calling multiple vets in the Cleveland area, I came across this vet and discussed what happened to my cat Stevie. He was at MedVet who wanted a very large amount for the Achilles tendon repair that he needed. Porter pet hospital was able to do the surgery for a FRACTION of what MedVet wanted. I started crying when I heard the news. Porter treated my baby like their own and I will never forget the kindness and gratitude they had towards my kitty. This is an affordable place with some of the best staff. Thank you for taking care of my baby Stevie!!!

This hospital was absolutely wonderful! They showed great care for our American Bulldog that needed emergency surgery. They took us in and took care of our girl with great care. Obviously, they are great because their client list is full. Keep up the good work. Absolutely recommend them for any need that your pet has. Thanks again, everyone! Sadie says thank you as well for saving her life.

Ive been here for both an appt and an emergency visit and both times everyone was amazing, very caring and thorough and answered all my questions without making me feel rushed. After 3 visits to my old vet with 0 solutions for my cats crippling anxiety I switched her to here and they offered blood tests to put her on the safest anxiety medication. I can’t wait to sleep again and have a happy kitty.
