How to Save Money at PetVet365 Pet Hospital Pittsburgh/Shadyside at the Junction

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 was my 1st vet visit in Pittsburgh. The welcome by the receptionist was welcoming and kind. The rooms they put you in while waiting are such a great idea and really provided a safe space for both your pet and yourself. The doctor and the tech were thorough, kind, calming and informative! I highly recommend this company and this specific location!

They understood my dog is shy and with this being his first apt they were all so kind and patient with him they took time to let him warm up to them before really examine him he wasn’t bothered at all by the vet who was very gentle. No scary waiting rooms or putting my pup onto a table everything was done down on his level for extra comfort! Overall we had a great experience and are ready for the next appointment! Definitely recommend to anyone and everyone!

Both my puppy and I absolutely love it here! As a first time pet owner, I've had just about a million and one questions and everyone here has always been so kind and answered all of my questions so thoroughly. This is also truly my puppy Rooney's favorite place in the world and she's so excited whenever I bring her in-- everyone is so sweet and patient with her. The puppy preventive care plan I enrolled in has also been absolutely amazing for helping her get through all of her developmental exams and vaccines. I cannot recommend this location highly enough!

I don't think my cats will ever love going to the vet, but Dr. Resek and her team do everything possible to make them as comfortable as possible. They took the time to calm down our cat and were able to draw blood from him for testing without sedation, which was much less stressful for everyone involved. It is also nice that you are placed with your pet in a room quickly, so that they aren't scared by the other animals. I highly recommend them!

We were shown to a wonderful, comfortable room right away. Our kitty Cagney wasn't nervous or upset at all. The vet tech and Dr. Resek were amazing and professional and continued to put Cagney at ease as they examined him and did his blood draw. We were so happy with the people and the surroundings in the office. Great place to take your pet!!
