How to Save Money at Cheat Lake 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 puppy got out and we are assuming she got hit by a car (we didn't see it happen). I called around and no one was open to get her in and my vet couldn't because he was having surgery that day himself. I drove her to Cheat Lake Animal Hospital and they took her right back, gave her pain medicine to make her comfortable and x-rays and other testing. They were very thorough. Even found an ear infection that we didn't know about. They brought us into a small room and showed us her X-rays. Unfortunately her leg needed to be amputated. Then they brought her into the room with us and laid her on a blanket so we could see her before we went home. She stayed there for a couple of days and we were able to call at night to check on her. They did her surgery the next day and then she came home the day after that. They were fantastic and very thorough. Always asked permission before they did things. The only complaint I had was their communication the day of the surgery but some was a misunderstanding so I wouldn't change my star ratings over it. I would definitely go back to them in an emergency and would highly recommend them to others.

Cheat Lake Animal Hospital is top notch! We have used them in an emergency situation as well as surgical removal of some mast cell tumors. They are professional and thorough from time of scheduling to discharge. They show so much love and compassion! I felt so comfortable leaving my pet for surgery and knew he was in the best hands. Thanks so much for doing what you do and going above and beyond! ♥️ 🐾

Had a friend from New Jersey in Rabbit Hunting. He had a dog that had a lump under her neck about the size of a golf ball. He called at approx 3:30 pm and they made him a appoint for 5:00 pm. They had to sedate her and drain the lump. They though a brier or something poked her and it had gotten infected. They gave him several medications and the charge was very reasonable. The next day she was bouncing around all over the place wanting to hit the field but she was going to get a few days rest. A very unhappy little girl. I myself have used this Clinic and have had good experiences. The staff is always friendly and explains things clearly. Thanks for caring for our dogs. Skyview's Beagles, Mark Carder~
