How to Save Money at Lake Forest Animal 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.

Getting 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 been going here for more than 10 years and the service has improved even when I was 100% satisfied from the beginning. Most recently it was easy to make an appointment online, everyone was friendly and asked thoughtful questions, no unnecessary procedures were done, the bill was reasonable and the meds prescribed worked. They followed up to check in and all is good. I was worried about incurring a big vet bill when maybe the condition would pass, but I'm so glad I took my pup in.

We’ve been bringing our babies here for 14 years. Started with Guinea pigs and now we have 2 dogs. The Drs. are patient and supportive. Technicians are always great and the front office staff is just so incredibly nice and helpful. pricing is fair and you’re informed of price prior to treatment, no hidden fees. Straight forward which I appreciate. We feel safe bringing our pets here. Thanks for the amazing service 👍🏼

The staff is friendly and accommodating to both humans and animals. They love my baby and treat her very well. I request appointments with Dr Trope because he knows my cat and her condition but to my knowledge all the vets here are great.

This place is amazing. I’ve had a couple emergencies,had one today with my dog Carlos . they always do their best to fit you in if necessary. their prices are very reasonable. They’re fast and caring. I will not take my pets anywhere else. Our other dog Calvin had a medical emergency, and they also did their best to care for him.
