How to Save Money at Lovet Pet Health Care - Norterra
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've taken my pets to other animal clinics. But I like this place. It's a nice drive for me and the dogs like the ride. The first 2 did good at the vet. The last one, not so much. She has anxiety and is very protective with mom at the vet. But she did well.

The staff at Norterra is fantastic. The attention and care provided to my pets has always been efficient, with all options explained and provided. I can't say enough good things about Norterra, the techs, and the vets. My iggies are my babies, and I trust them implicitly.

The staff are friendly and very caring. The providers answer all questions and also ask questions without being prompted. I feel very comfortable and happy bringing my baby here. The only thing I don't like is the new system and how any notifications, calls, text , emails I receive. Everything else I would highly recommend. My pup is well loved here.

I just want to write a review to thank you guys for all of the hard work you do. It does not go unnoticed. My boyfriend and I moved out to this side of town 6 months ago, and finding a vet was important because one of our cats is special needs. The first time she was taken to the vet, my boyfriend took her in alone because I was unavailable. He has had horrible experiences at a few different vets, so he hadn’t taken his own cat to get a check up in a long time and was nervous about going in himself. However, he called me immediately after their vet visit and explained to me how impressed he was (I believe he saw Dr. Gold). Dr. Gold and techs were so sweet to her, very patient, and answered every question we had regarding her needs. My boyfriend was so impressed in fact, that he made an appointment for his own cat, which resulted in his cat receiving treatment for ear mites! We had no idea! My personal experience with this vet has been nothing but great as well. Every time I have called in because I need a medication filled, it has been no-questions asked. I am used to taking our special needs cat to speciality vets for her needs, but I have been able to get all of her medication through her primary vet here. Which makes my life 100x easier. Thank you thank you thank you. As someone who has gone to many different vets, I can assure you that Norterra gives excellent care and service. (Bonus cat pics included 😉)
