How to Save Money at VCA Timpanogos 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.

Dr. Berry and Hannah are absolutely amazing! They handled my cat so well and helped him feel comfortable. He had the worst anxiety but they were so kind and patient with him! They were thorough and answered all my questions and showed me care options for my cat. My experience honestly could not have been better!

I absolutely love them! We first came here when it was time for our elderly cat to be put down in 2022. He had lived 20 yrs, and was such a loved cat. They were so caring and made it as comfortable as possible. We were so thankful for their sensitivity, and they gave us plenty of time to be along with him. When I got my next cat, I adopted an about 5 months old kitten with only one eye. Her existing eye obviously had an infection or something wrong with it. They again were so great at taking care of her, and answering all of my questions.

My dog has had a bad experience at the vets before and usually needs to be muzzled when she goes, but Dr. Haslam won her over. No muzzle this time and she let her do the exam and everything. I couldn't be more impressed. I'm sure the other vets are great, but I highly recommend her.

I've never felt so lucky to find a vet that cared as much about my pup as I do- until I found Dr. Anderson! He's the most caring, thoughtful, helpful vet- always going above and beyond to give my pup the best care. Dr. Anderson- thank you for ALL you do and the impact you've had in our lives. I'd highly recommend Dr. Anderson and VCA Timp Animal Hospital!

So grateful for this team! We needed our cat to be seen urgently and we couldn't find a single clinic in the area that allowed walk ins, and all of the pet urgent cares weren't opening until later in the day. My husband called VCA Timpanogos Animal Hospital and they were able to get us an appointment right away. I even showed up early because I was afraid to be home with my sick cat, and they saw me right away. Dr. Haslam and her assistant were amazing with our cat who is always quite nervous around new people, but especially so outside of our home. They were able to diagnose the issue quickly and get us an appointment for the following week, in the likely event that our cat needs surgery. He was of course also given antibiotics and pain medicine until then. Dr. Haslam explained the costs and the process which I was very grateful for. Though it is pricey (not sure how it compares to other vets), we were happy they took such good and speedy care of our cat as we were quite scared! Definitely worth it!
