How to Save Money at All Creatures Vet Clinic
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 wanted to share my gratitude to Dr. Richard Kahn and his entire veterinary staff at All Creatures for over 25 years now since we first took our dogs Kato and Jack to see him in his first office while he was also still the Chief Equine Vet for Fresno State. My only regret is that I have not done so earlier. Having moved to Fresno from Southern California, we weren’t accustomed to his humble yet direct cowboy swagger approach to performing what the average lay person would consider highly complicated medical procedures in our presence with a swift competence that seemed so cavalier and transparent you might have thought you were observing a father floss his toddlers teeth before bedtime. Over the years, we have watched him remove an electric razor from our chocolate Labrador’s gut from start to finish in his waiting room on a Saturday afternoon, drain an infected ear abscess on Thanksgiving one year that incidentally cost $600 less than we were quoted in Orange County where we were visiting for the holiday that as a no brainer led my husband to make the 5 Hour trek back to have treated, and one year Dr. Kahn and his family even took our black Labrador with him to the Sierras while we managed a family crisis. The man even sent us photos. No blood relation, and there were no dowries exchanged between our children… This is simply reflective of his standard of practice, and represent but a few of Dr. Kahn and his Veterinary’s staff countless acts of generosity that reveal not only his love for the animals for whom he cares and treats, but the depth of his integrity and commitment to the owners these animals know and love as family members. Mind blowing kindness, compassion, and integrity second to none and at a fraction of the cost we witness many family and friends pay for (lesser) care. If you’re looking for the best men and women for your best friend, your search is over. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. McElroy (too possessing the rawness of a cowgirl) and their entire front office (thank you, Dawn, whose been there from day one!) for their continued excellence in circling this journey of love with our furries- You’re always IN IT with us. My two and four legged family members couldn’t do this without you. Shannon Karian

We love All Creatures Vet Clinic. My spouse introduced them to me 12y ago and we have never strayed. They are wonderful people and have always treated our cats & dog respectfully. I do not know what other vets in the area charge, but I am never 'sticker shocked' when I get our bill.

I have been with All Creatures since they moved to their current location, I think about 15 years ago. Always friendly, always fast, always affordable and they really do care. It's a night and day difference from any other vet's I've been to in other cities as I moved around for short stints over the years. I miss seeing Dr Kahn, he's so down to earth and personable. But his staff has always been great.

My name is Samarai This is me...after I got better but before the ACCIDENT... I had a really rough start in life with my momma ...a stray...not even a year old... We were at the SPCA...and rescued... Unfortunately my momma being severely malnourished, young and inexperienced and very sick...was unable to care for her babies as well as she tried to... My foster..took us in now that we already had went from 8 kittens to 6... Even with round the clock care, feedings, heating pads, dawn soap bath for severe flea infestation...warm.water bottles and sub q fluids... My 3 siblings Spiderman, Spidey, and muffin all passed away within the week of us arriving because we were just too sick and too small to fight .... I was able to get better with my fosters care...I was happy and strong...but I had an accident... My momma jumped up in our kennel and fell on me...she didn't mean to and I love her still. I had a collapsed lung or some kind of internal problem and it was just too tough to try to get better...my foster loved me and helped me feel better...no more pain...when I crossed to the Rainbow bridge with the help of All Creatures Veterinary ... We appreciate your help. Thank you for your kindness and support 🙏🏻
