How to Save Money at Companion 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.

In my area the vets are absolutely swamped and I couldn't get my little guy in anywhere. Thankfully, The staff at Companion Animal Hospital are absolutely amazing and I don't lament the drive at all! The staff is knowledgeable and extremely friendly. They remember Jaspers face and never forget the treats. They give gentle guidance without making you feel like a bad owner if you are doing something wrong. The veterinarian had a great sense of humor. You can tell absolutely everyone in the building is passionate about animals. I have an immense amount of gratitude for CaH. We went for a dental but they were able to catch that Jasper had Lyme before he had shown any symptoms. I was scared but they were very optimistic and reassuring about treatment. The prices truly are not bad. All vet care is pricey, but in my opinion they are far more reasonable than other places and offer much better service. They deserve all the glowing reviews they have!

I had been using a different vet for years for my Ragdoll breeding program. I recently took a kitten to Companion Animal Hospital. I was pleasantly surprised by the staff and facility. Im happy to know that they are a truly cat friendly place. They offer fabric squares sprayed with Feliway which has a calming effect on cats, they have a separate area for cats (divider away from dogs) and when they say that “tender loving care” is free, it sure is. We saw a younger vet that was incredibly nice and very knowledgeable. Our kitten was not stressed at all and actually rolled over for belly rubs in her carrier.

Companion was absolutely amazing with our Paisley!! When our regular vet wouldn’t see her, companion would! For that I will forever be grateful! They have officially became OUR vet.

We like every member of staff from the front desk, to all the Techs, and veterinarians but like so many businesses have since the pandemic dawned on 2020, the available appointment hours are a limiting. One of the reasons we chose the practice for our kitties was appointment hours outside of the hours of 8-5. Saturday hours were such a draw for us and those are gone. Also the flexibility in getting prescriptions filled are getting more restrictive which seems a step back in customer service. All that said, we do feel valued as customers and feel confident that this practice, for now, is the best fit for us.

I had a scare with my dog Chloe this morning thinking something serious was happening with my dog. They were so understanding and were able to get me in that morning. The staff was super kind and and caring. The doctor was able to explain everything with Chloe and shared the X-rays and blood tests with me reassuring me that Chloe was in good hands. I was very pleased with the service from start to finish. I will now be taking Chloe here every time.
