How to Save Money at Shiloh Veterinary Hospital - West
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.

I’ve had the pleasure of bringing my dogs to Dr. Schneider at Shiloh Veterinary Hospital since 2016. Even after moving, no vet offered the same level of knowledge, care, support and compassion. Naturally, we opted to drive the extra distance to Shiloh, no matter where we have lived. Ensuring our dogs get the best care possible. Everyone you meet at Shiloh is knowledgeable, friendly, kind, compassionate and all around amazing. We recently had an experience that no one ever wants to have, involving rushing there for an emergency appointment. They met us in the parking lot, got him on a stretcher and triaged my pup. In record time they had test results and answers for me. My dog was kept comfortable and calm and they brought us back together as soon as they could. Let me tell you how important that last sentence is- they brought him to me as soon as they could- sadly that doesn’t happen everywhere- ask me how I know. Unfortunately our options were limited but I had ALL the information and options available to make the best decision for my dog. They handled the situation with speed, care, compassion and grace. We feel lucky to be a part of the Shiloh Veterinary Hospital family.

It was excellent. They took their time and answered all my questions. I have nervous dogs and they took right to the attendants. Cookies did help some. Were able to pay and schedule next appointment in exam room which was so much easier than having to keep 2 dogs settled to check out.

When we moved to the area with our 12 year old golden doodle, we soon found Shiloh Vet and we’re so grateful. Through helping us know when it was time to put our good old boy to rest, to the craziness of a big new pup, they’ve been fantastic at every turn.

I purchased a sick reptile... and this was the only place that would take me in right away. I'm very grateful for them, and Dr. Brady did great. They were all so friendly.
