How to Save Money at Tri-State Animal ER
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.

We woke up to our 4.5 year old collie mix unable to stand on her own on a Sunday and rushed to this ER. We were quickly taken back to have her checked out and they ran a Lyme disease test immediately, giving us a chance to try out a cheaper option before doing x-rays. Our pup came back positive for Lyme disease and the vet was very informative and helpful in understand her diagnosis and how to help her, and sent all the information over to our vet. Within a day she felt much better and back to her regular self :)

My dog was really sick and it was 2 days before Christmas and no one in a hundred miles could get him in to see him! They took him! They explained all the procedures and costs up front and did expect payment up front but what veterinarian doesn’t? Very friendly and helpful! If it wasn’t for this place, my puppy wouldn’t be here today! And the cost was much better than expected for parvo! Thank you all for the attention, quick actions and taking care of my puppy! He’s back to himself and is 100%! When I picked him up, he came out wagging his tail, peppy and excited! I cannot express how grateful that I am that place is here for our animals! I still have my baby bc of them! Every other vet around us, from southern Ohio to central Ohio, etc wouldn’t take him due to being booked up or no vet. They cared enough to take him when no one else would! Thank you again for saving my baby puppy! We would not have had a good Christmas without him!

Very thorough & very helpful. My baby girl was in & out in under 2 hours, including bloodwork & ear swab. Treated with so much love & care! They do take care credit which is very good for emergencies. Very affordable to be an emergency vet, will definitely return there again if something happens.

They got my cat in fast and were able to diagnose the issue. Although treatment required an extraction that the clinic couldn’t do, they gave him meds that helped hold us over until could get into his vet to do the surgery. Very thankful for this service. With it being a weekend, there was literally no where else to take my animal and it couldn’t wait until Monday. Thankful for the staff that spends their weekends and overnight hours providing this much needed service that no doubt saves many animals life’s.

Went there to put my fiancée’s injured dog down they handled it well, and with care. We appreciate how they helped us during a tough situation On top of that, Fred Kitchen at Furever Friends Pet Cremation Services did an excellent job at quickly responding to us to cremate and also offered a paw print urn that was beautiful to remember the dog by!
