How to Save Money at VCA Animal Hospitals Urgent Care - Addison
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.

Our little Lola has enjoyed all the benefits of being a VCA Member for years and although we use and enjoy the benefits normally throughout the year, we were surprised the benefits also extended to after hours urgent care when Lola had an unexpected illness on a Saturday. The icing on the cake was our experience at VCA Urgent Care Addison!! What an AMAZING EXPERIENCE! The facility is a doctors office that puts my human doctors office to shame! Beautiful facility!! Dr. Anderson, Courtney, Ellie, and the entire team focused their attention on our Lola and demonstrated a true caring passion in making sure she was comfortable and taken care of, all the while making sure we had all our questions answered. The treatment and prognosis was spot on!! Lola was feeling better quickly and has been great for 5 days now!! Can’t say enough good things about these people!!’ Thank you TEAM and special Thanks to Dr Anderson. She is truly an AWESOME person and even a better Veterinarian!! Let us know how you can be Lola ‘s PCP!!! 💜

I took my 1 year old dog, Tucker in because he got hurt playing with a stick that had stabbed and cut underneath his tongue. They were personable, and very caring towards Tucker. They gave a reasonable itemized quote for the visit and proceeded with treating Tucker as soon as possible, especially on a weekend in the afternoon. I appreciate the staff members and Vet doctor for checking us in such short notice. Facility is very aesthetic and clean. I would take Tucker back (if needed) and recommend this emergency hospital. VCA also has a care plan for pets that’s really reliable for such visits as this. I’m so planning to enroll Tucker today. Hope this review was helpful.

I took my pit mix here on a Sunday, she was scratched in the eye by my cat. The staff were so nice and helpful and that was comforting considering the condition our pup was in. The doctor was able to put us in touch with an eye specialist same day and also gave some medication to help ease some of our girls pain. The doctor followed up with us the following day to check on our pup and I just thought that was so kind. They truly have your pets best interest at heart at this hospital.
