How to Save Money at Cat 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.

Thank you Dr Weldon and Miryam for making Niko feel comfortable and for the extra treats during his checkup. I was nervous because it had been a few years since we’ve been to the vet mainly due to budget and switching pet insurance, but now that we are back on track, I’m very happy I found a cat-only vet where Niko can feel comfortable. Loved the kitties walking around the office free range. Kelly on top of the reception desk wanted to greet Niko and surprisingly no growling or hissing from him lol. I think he was truly happy with his new vet office and look forward to taking him in the future!

Dr. Weldon and her team are the most caring. She makes sure to explain your options and offers plenty of support. There is a huge difference between specialized vets for cats like this one and regular vets.

Fantastic care with my cat. Put me at ease and gave me a plan to start on. 45 min drive but I would do it again.

Edit: Cats dead. This is a good place for regular/annual visits and shots, but not for issues that might be serious. I couldn't get an appointment when my kitty started deteriorating, even though I tried to explain that she might need to be seen sooner just for evaluation and referral to an ER if needed... we couldn't get seen until the following week and after we finally were seen she deteriorated even faster and was dead within two days. If only she had been seen sooner... But this is all fine except for how dismissive the new receptionist was on the phone, and how the severity of my cat's issue was when we came in. This is the first cat I've had to die before 15 years old, very sad. Don't bring your pet here if they're sick, only if you need annual shots, normal check up, maybe an x-ray, etc. My kitty had a bad experience at another vet's office and she has been terrified since then. However, I am so glad we found Dr. Weldon! She is caring and very kind, and able to calm her down enough to get the necessary tests and treatment done. I will be honest that there was some initial worry about cost, since it's a small practice and full amount is due at time of visit, and insurance would not pay due to pre existing condition terminology, BUT my sick kitty is well and back to herself now. In the end Dr. Weldon was able to fix what could have been an emergency situation and would have required a stressful ER visit (and thousands of dollars for the ER.) We are very happy with our experience from Dr. Weldon and her entire office staff; they are all very kind and respectful. Would recommend 10/10.
