How to Save Money at Cutler 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.

Extremely friendly, caring and competent professional staff. Why go to a big chain operation to care for your pet when such a competent locally owned vet is close by. I recently moved to Charleston and ruby is thrilled to have found Dr. Cutler.

I'm so thankful I was told about Cutler Animal Hospital. After my dog was traumatized at another vet, I was very weary of who I took him to next. I was, and always am, so warmly welcomed by the staff here. Lori, who works at the front desk, is amazing. My dog Lemon is very skittish and shy around new people, and everyone here is always soooo patient, gentle, and soft with him. They talk to you like you're a human and they genuinely care about you and your animals (children). I'll always recommend Dr. Cutler and his team - they're extremely knowledgeable and tentative. I will say, at least in my opinion, that their services are a little on the pricier side, however I believe it's 100% worth it for the incredible service. Thank you for everything!

We LOVE Cutler Animal Hospital! We switched from our old vet 4 years ago, and there is no going back. We have 3 dogs and my parents have 3- we all love Cutler. Our whole family now brings their babies here. The staff truly care about your fur babies, and Dr. Cutler always takes the time to explain in depth what needs to be done/ the visit. He is personable and kind, and has a heart as big as himself for animals! My dogs get excited to see him, and that speaks volumes. The prices are wonderful for the exceptional care that is provided.

Since moving to a new state, I’ve really come to miss the care, compassion, and attention given by Dr. Cutler and his staff. My cat was diagnosed with diabetes at an urgent care appt, and Dr. Cutler’s practice got me in very quickly to get her started on insulin. He and the vet tech spent considerable time making sure I understood how to properly care for her and look out for warning signs. I was able to do my first insulin injection at a special appt just before they opened so that the practice would be quiet and peaceful for my anxious kitty. When monitoring her glucose, Dr. Cutler was always very responsive (even while out of town) and called me personally to give his feedback. Pricing was excellent as well. I honestly wish I could have taken them with me when I moved, as it’s so hard to find a vet that spends lots of time with you, truly cares about your pet, and will be upfront with you on prices and affordability.

Can’t recommend Dr. Cutler and his staff enough! Cares for your animals, will talk with you and explain things, only orders tests or recommendations procedures when necessary. Reasonable prices as well.
