How to Save Money at Allegheny North 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.

They are always kind, responsive, and really listen and care about your pets! They were recommended by a friend after my first vet was not giving my cat adequate care during a scary, life-threatening illness. ANVH was super helpful from the very first phone call, and every visit with them, I feel like they take my concerns and her health seriously. They are a half hour drive from me, but it's worth it for good care!

I recently took my dog to your facility to get her nails trimmed. I was just there a month prior for her yearly checkup. I was told I would need to bring her back, because she just had her shots and it may be too much for her at this time. I had to make an appointment with the vet tech. It costs me $20 for the tech appointment and $25 for the nail trim. On top of that I paid $18 for 6 pills to calm her down. Honestly, I really didn’t see much difference in her behavior. It costs me $63 total for a nail trim. Insane!!! In other words. If they would have just trimmed them at the vet’s appointment it would have costs $25, which has been done before. Never again!

We are new to Allegheny North Vet and couldn't be happier. Thank you to the staff and Dr. Lisa for the wonderful care you gave our sweet girl Maisy. She had many health issues and I really appreciate the extra phone calls, detailed information but most of all the care and compassion you showed us and our girl. You all are a wonderful team of people!

Every person in this office is so helpful, and they have always found a way to see my dogs when needed. The app used for the office makes it so easy to directly communicate with them to be sure you need to see a doctor before coming in and paying the fee.
