How to Save Money at Animal Emergency 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.

Getting 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.

Wonderful service! We brought our outdoor cat in because he seemed seriously injured, perhaps after a sort of scuffle with an unknown animal... We live in a rural area so it could have been almost anything. I was feeling like a horrible pet owner. Our cat was muddy and in obvious pain. I thought they were going to treat us poorly because we shouldn't have "let" this happen, but they were very professional and nice to us. Years ago, a dog of ours was tragically hit by a car (and passed away later that night). We brought her to that same place and I got the distinct feeling the lady there thought it was our fault. She may not have... I can't read minds, but her bedside manner was cold and she seemed mad. The staff we met last night, however, didn't seem judgy in the least. All three had wonderful bedside manner and cared, greatly, for our Shy Guy. We left him overnight with them. When I called this morning, a whole new set of staff from the night before (I'm guessing) addressed us. They were just as sweet and caring regarding our cat. These guys are GREAT if your pet needs emergency care in the middle of the night... Or anytime, for that matter.

I had to take my cat here because he was having some serious issues relating to an ear polyp. Unfortunately this place is 100 miles (one-way) from the house, but it was worth the trip. The staff immediately took him in and examined my cat. They kept me informed of what needed to be done and gave me a treatment plan along with medication. I'm happy to say that the initial medication they gave him in the office worked well and there's already a marked improvement for my cat. I will have to follow-up with a surgeon, but at least my boy won't suffer until he gets the polyp removed. Side note: I've gone to several emergency vets over the years in various locations, and this one not only provided excellent care, the cost (compared to most places) was/is extremely reasonable. I would absolutely travel the 100 miles again to this place if I had to.

Disappointed that I was charged 103 dollars to put down a dying stray cat I found in my back yard, I thought if I had the compassion to load the cat up and bring it across town they would have the compassion to do what must be done. I really thought a veterinarian hospital would care more about the suffering of an animal. I paid because I do care.
