How to Save Money at Southside 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.

My family and I have been using Dr. Powers since 1988. He is the absolute best Vet in the area. So wonderful that my immediate family travels an hour to for Vet appointments with their pets. He has taken amazing care of all of our family pets. Dr. Powers is able to determine with minimally invasive techniques the majority of our pets ailments. When needed he will send us to a specialty vet and ensure while under their care that our pets are receiving the appropriate treatments. Dr. Powers and the staff at Southside Animal Hospital have been with us through the fun puppy phase to the hard ache of losing our pets. He handles all of the situations with class and provides the moral support when needed. Dr. Marrow was a great addition to the Southside Animal Hospital family and is equally as great as Dr. Powers.

I'm not a person that typicaily post. I would like to share my story. Over the past 60 days I have been going to Southside. My dog Odin is under their care. Dr. Morrow took him with open arms after regular vet wasnt able to help. This issue started with the prior vet in February. I feel just like you. My Odin is part of the family. He had a hematoma that my regular vet was not about correct. This was after $1000.00 and several visits. Not knowing what to do I was referred to Southside. I dont wont to share the preivious vet. I will say this, Dr Morrow and Sothside has a customer for life. I cannot thank them enough.

Great staff, reasonable pricing. Came here from a friend's recommendation and have never thought about switching vets since.

Love this place! Our dogs see Dr.Morrow and she is knowledgeable, so nice and she takes great care of my pups. She impressed me from the get-go when she called me while she was away at a conference to walk me through a dental procedure my dog needed. All the techs and receptionists are great, too. We were referred by a friend and we will definitely refer others!
