How to Save Money at VCA White Oak 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.

I wanted to say I love this place! I've always heard great things about this animal hospital. The people are full of compassion, empathetic, and full of professionalism! Recently, my husband and I brought in our 3yr old Bostie "Houston". He was limping on his back leg, then next day he couldn't walk on both back legs. This terrified us. We were lucky to be seen thanks to Amanda and Lauren. We were greeted with a smile when we arrived! Dr Branson saw Houston. She was friendly and extremely thorough. She took Houston for bloodwork and xrays. She told us what it could be. He was given medicine to ease the pain. We hoped for the best. On the 2nd day at home, he was running around like nothing ever happened! Guess it was a pulled muscle. We are so grateful for these wonderful people!!! Thank you for everything!!!!

We have taken our family dogs to White Oak Animal Hospital for over 25 years now. All of the vets there are fabulous, but a special shout-out to Dr. Bell, who is a rockstar in our eyes for taking such good care of Winnie, our little cockapoo, who got very sick earlier this year with inflammatory bowel disease. She's doing great now thanks to Dr. Bell! Dr. Bell, Dr. Pepper, Dr. Skarbek, and every vet there, and everyone from the ladies at the front to all that work behind the scenes, are incredibly kind and work hard to take care of our pets! Also, their groomers are fabulous - Victoria has groomed our curly pups for years now and is amazing! Thank you, WOAH, for being consistently the best around!

We just moved to the area and both our puppy and 13 year old dog have been there now! We LOVE this place! Dexter (white) got groomed and had a wellness checkup today & we are blown away by how great they did and how at ease he was when we picked him up! 10/10 would recommend!!!
