Veterinary Care

The Costs . 

What can we do to make sure the pet care is affordable? Should your pet get a job?  Nah….It’s important to choose a veterinary hospital before you need one., and prepare financially in case that pet emergency arrive.

Tip#1

Ask family, friends and neighbors for recommendations. May be someone knows someone.

Tip#2

Pet Emergency Fund Medical emergencies happen.

Tip#3

Pet Insurance. 

Tip#3

Talk to your vet, if you cannot afford care, say so! There may be some conservative approaches you might take to resolve the situation and help to keep the cost down.

Tip#4

Apply for a temporary credit, never hurts to ask I say.

Tip#5

Ask for help. There are many  animal welfare organizations that can provide assistance with loans, grants, grooming for pet owners in need. 

Personally, our company has provided many of the services for homeless animals in the past. I would say any veterinarian office has a list of those organizations available for you.

Tip#6

Contact your local animal shelter. There are lots of financial assistance donated to those shelters regularly for those emergency situations, and you might be able to find what you are looking for. Once you find a hospital, take some time to check it out. Ask for a tour of the facility, and use your eyes and nose to detect cleanliness. Also, check if the facility is well lit. Does it have laboratory equipment? Is there gas anesthesia? If it doesn’t meet your expectations, turn around and leave.

 

Veterinary Basics

TPR = temperature, pulse, respiratory rate.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Hospitals that are accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) meet high veterinary care standards. Each hospital voluntarily completes a detailed evaluation of its services and equipment. Then a practice consultant thoroughly evaluates the hospital to make
sure it meets AAHA’s high standards in the areas of:

emergency services
pain management
contagious diseases
surgery and anesthesia
radiology services
pathology services
nursing care
diagnostic and pharmacy
dentistry
examination facilities
pet medical records
medical library
housekeeping and maintenance

Approximately 15 percent of the small animal veterinary hospitals in the United States and
Canada are accredited AAHA members.

 

In addition to the facility, you’ll also want to make sure the veterinarian meets your expectations. It’s important that you and your pet are comfortable with the doctor. The veterinarian should be able to communicate with you and make you feel comfortable asking
questions.
