How to Save Money at Penn 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.

I can't even describe my appointment today. Dr Beck and Laura were no longer there. I drive out of my way because they were so awesome. Needed a prescription refill but told I needed to come in for physical since it's been over year since a physical exam. Technician comes in the exam room chomping on huge wad of gum. Reads records with me. I express my concern about medicine (steroid) and ask about getting blood work done. Technician leaves room. Consults with "doctor" who says it's a good idea. They take my girl for blood work. I hear her meowing like crazy. They bring her back in exam room. They are done. I can leave.I said "Aren't you going to give her a physical? " Long story short after all their excuses, no. But they charged me for one. I disputed at front desk. They acted like they gave her one. I've been going here for years. I know what a physical consists of. Told me they would have bloodwork back in 30 minutes and would call with results and let me know about prescription. Well, 10 hours later, never heard a word. My girl still does not have her medicine she needs. I am beyond disgusted with these ya who's running this practice now. Will be disputing the $390.00 charge on my cc if they don't make this right. Looking for a new vet.

Dr. Beck and her team are absolutely amazing!! I brought my 10 year old kid in here on an emergency visit (he had a hole in his cheek from fighting) and she calmed the birth of us down. I can't thank the hospital enough for all they did for him and he's doing so much better now!

Dr Beck is a wonderful vet. Over the years before I found this practice I had gone to several vets who supposedly worked with rabbits. I found Dr Beck's name on the House Rabbit Society website and was so impressed with the difference. She is extremely knowledgeable and loving towards my bunnies. She works with me since I live an hour away and will call in prescriptions or teach me how to do different medical tasks at home when needed. I recently had to have my 8 year old rabbit put to sleep. As crazy as it sounds, I could not have asked for a better visit during a difficult time. She was so loving and compassionate, shedding tears along with me. She explained everything, answered my questions, helped me to feel comfortable with my decision, and make my rabbit comfortable. Dr Beck hugged me as I left, which was more than I got from the family member who came along with me. I appreciated that I did not have to pay my bill on the day I put my beloved pet to sleep but was told it would be mailed to me. I would highly recommend Dr Beck to any pet owners, especially those with rabbits. She's the best!

Was nervous about finding good care for our rabbit after relocating to the area and we're so glad we found Penn Animal Hospital. It's not easy to find a team that is so knowledgeable and has experience caring for rabbits. Extremely nice staff, accommodating, and an incredible value for top notch care. We also boarded our rabbit with them for a couple weeks while we were on vacation. They sent us updates and pictures of our rabbit having a great time. We highly recommend Penn Animal Hospital!
