How to Save Money at Magley 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.

Everyone has always been kind and helpful, they take great care of Luna! Luna is an almost 10 year old GSD who does not like going to any vet, but they handle her well! They were also helpful to me when I needed to bring Luna in, and I needed extra help due to a broken arm. Highly recommend.

I took my cats here and they're professional, quick, and made the process as easy as possible. Everyone that I have spoke to at the hospital has been so nice, understanding, and full of knowledge. I always ask a lot of questions and they took the time to answer everything I had without rushing me. Will be the only vet office I use from here on out.

My 13 year old puppy had recently begun limping and couldn't go to her usual vet, so I took her here. They were able to fit her in very last minute and nicely listened to me jabbering on about my pup. She was born with a collapsing trachea, and I appreciate that they knew how to deal with that and took efforts to avoid aggravating her condition. Molly stayed with them all day because my appointment was so last minute, and Dr. Jewell called me at around 2pm. She said that Molly definitely has arthritis, but understood that, despite her age, Molly is an active girl who loves to run and chase squirrels. Dr. Jewell very kindly listened to more of my anxious jabbering and was extremely helpful with planning the next steps. Molly was put on some pain reducing medication and is now doing much better. She is still far from a full recovery, but her pain is reduced and her beautiful smile and personality are back. Molly was 3 months old and extremely sick when we got her from the pound, and we have tried to give her the best life imaginable. She is the sweetest and smartest girl who only listens to those she trusts, and I am so grateful that Dr. Jewell and her team took such great care of her.

Not always nice or compassionate, don't help dogs well when need it, can't cancel appointments because like committing a crime!! I had to cancel few times due to work or my mom being in hospital for days and weeks due to nursing negligence so I spent days in nights in hospital but they didn't care. Plus in a car accident couldn't work or walk, put on shoes or drive or no car cause was totaled. but they didn't care. So now me and dogs are not allowed to go there anymore. I always paid my bills. Doctor gave my one dog increase of insulin he died 2 days later from low sugar& seizures!! 2 dogs have gone blind due to dry eyes and medicine given never helped but they would not doing anything different!. One dog suppose to have cancer but was never given pain medication until I asked for it! So don't go there . No compassion for dogs having major problems, my mom being sick and died in February this year ,me in bad wreck with bad injuries. Now I have to find another vet. Some staff were always rude too so I had to be some because of the uncaring and for dogs & me! Was upsetting and wrong. Good luck if you go there.
