How to Save Money at Pet Friends Veterinary 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.

Dr. Smith and her staff are wonderful. They provide excellent care, with a genuine affection for animals that’s obvious in everything they do. They’re always friendly, thorough and very conscientious. My wife and I are so glad to have found a vet and clinic we fully trust to help us care for our dog and two cats. Thank you Pet Friends!

The whole office creates a welcoming environment. The staff are kind and great with my dogs, and Dr. Smith goes above and beyond to ensure that my pups get the best care possible. She is patient with them and incredibly thorough in diagnosing and treating them. Even when she's busy, she makes time to squeeze us in or talk on the phone when my pets have unexpected ailments.

I write this as my dog and absolute best friend in this world continues to suffer. She continues to suffer because "Pet Friends" refuses to provide even the most minor veterinary service for my Pet I can think of. Which is SIMPLY, lay eyes on her from across the room, notice obvious and uncomfortable swelling in animals hip, suggest some type of antiinflammatory until a full diagnosis is made by the Vet at an available time. Done. I'm happy, appreciative, grateful and most importantly my dog will have something to help with the discomfort of an injured hip. This scenario where “Pet Friends" actually showed some genuine compassion for my animal isn't part of their reality. Full Disclosure: The reality is that after calling 5 days prior to today(dog has been injured 6 days now) and them scheduling their "earliest available" appointment for 9:30-10:30 this morning. To my continued regret and frustration I arrived at my appointment 45 minutes late, I apologized prefusely for doing so, I wanted to pay for the full visit if the doctor could see my pet for only just a moment. This was too much to ask even after I pleaded for any possibilities the Vet could see her, even if I needed to leave her there, I offered to pay cash, I offered to do whatever it took. Nope. I was informed it would be another 2 days before the "Pet Friends" could lay eyes on her, supposedly. My dog WAS a patient at "Pet Friends" for around a year prior to today.
