How to Save Money at Canary District 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.

This veterinary clinic truly excels in every way, with an incredible team from the receptionist to the vet techs and doctors. From the moment I scheduled the appointment, the entire staff was friendly, professional, and attentive. The communication before, during, and after the visit was fantastic, ensuring that all my concerns were addressed with care and detail. who has ever emailed you with explanations of every lab!! wow What stood out the most was the follow-up after the appointment—timely and informative emails with clear explanations of what every lab result meant. This level of thoroughness and compassion is rare to find. I highly recommend this clinic for anyone looking for exceptional care for their fur babies

I recently took my cat Lady-Luna for an initial meet and greet visit and was very pleased with how much at ease she was with the staff at the clinic. For pet parents the comfort, safety and care of our fur babies is very important to us. Thank you!!!!

Been taking my cat here this past week for an ear injury. They are extremely accommodating and gentle with all the pets and didn't have a problem with his brother tagging along. It was very easy to make a same day appointment.

I can't thank Canary District Animal Hospital (CDAH) enough for what they've done for my senior dog, Winky. He had been lethargic and refusing to eat or drink, and we were close to putting him down. I reached out to several other vets, but CDAH provided the most thorough and helpful responses. So, I decided to bring him in just to see what they would recommend. After our first visit to CDAH, his attitude changed drastically, and he started acting like a puppy again, especially for his age. They prescribed exactly what he needed without pushing unnecessary products or treatments, and they were clear with their recommendations. Dr. Kinzl was fantastic, and Winky, who usually snaps at vets, happily followed her to get his nails trimmed. Everyone at CDAH has been very professional, supportive, friendly and they have checked up on him a few times after his visit. I highly recommend CDAH and have even told friends about the clinic. Winky even approved of their treats, which is a rare occasion as he rarely eat treats from strangers or at a vets, especially liver treats. :)
