How to Save Money at Emmaus 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.

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.

The amount of care and compassion all of my animals have received from Emmaus Animal Hospital makes me wish every animal could see a veterinary staff as amazing as they are !! I have had to put two of my animals down, one due to old age (during the pandemic ) and one due to cancer , their compassion to me and my family as they teared up with us and let us hold both my boys as they crossed the rainbow bridge will never be forgotten . Thank You staff at Emmaus !!! Keep being as amazing as you are !! RIP 🌈🌈 Buddy and Chip

We bring all of our pets (dogs and cats) here and are very happy with the service! They are quick to respond and not pushy about expensive treatments, but they do offer all options, both cheap and expensive for your choice. They have appointments readily available and have time in the afternoons and evenings when people are off work. They are also experienced with exotics; we have a Savannah cat that has some special needs due to the breed, and they have been familiar with the animals and accommodating of all our needs. Their prices are also reasonable. I would recommend anyone with a pet to go here.

We had started taking our 4 (now 3) cats to Emmaus Animal Hospital last year and they have been nothing short of excellent. Every staff member we have come in contact with has been kind, empathetic, and polite from the front desk to the assistants to the techs to the vets themselves. I can’t stress enough how wonderful this place is, especially when it comes to end-of-life decisions. Dr O Jr and Dr O Sr were instrumental in our cat Ruby’s care. We initially brought her in for symptoms of a typical hyperthyroid cat but unfortunately during the treatment process, she started to decline, and they discovered she also was suffering from a cancerous mass that started underneath her tongue and was infiltrating the tongue. She crossed the rainbow bridge earlier today. Both vets were exceedingly kind, empathetic, and very succinct and direct during everything. They explained everything clearly, answered any and all questions, and even though I know (as a former vet tech myself) they have hundreds of other patients to care for, they made her a priority whenever we were in the office or on the phone with them. There are so many instances where I can point out them going what I feel is above and beyond standard of care but that would leave this already long review reading like a novel. Please know we are grateful for your kindness and care. We truly believe she was in the best hands at your practice. Thank you both and everyone else at Emmaus Animal Hospital. We’re truly grateful for all your care for Ruby during this difficult time, and we also look forward to continuing care with you for Tasha, Link, and Sebastian.

I've been bringing my dogs here for years and they are truly the best. All the staff members are kind, helpful and understanding. They even made a note in my chart to never put me in exam room one because I had to put down my 14 year old dog in that room. They also treat the animals as family.
