How to Save Money at Animal Emergency & Crtcl Care: Christiansen Jeff DVM
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.

Easily accessible from the Main Road. Plenty of free parking including for Handicap accessible Vehicles. Restrooms are available and were clean. The facility was clean and well staffed by friendly employees. Bring your patience as they can become busy. The Vet and assistants were very nice and kept us apprised of the status of our cat. Unfortunately there was nothing they could do for her and we ultimately had to put her down which they absolutely handled with dignity and compassion. Even though for us the visit didn't go as we had hoped but they made a sad situation as good as we could have expected. We would recommend them without hesitation and again we want to Thank them for the care they afforded our Cat and us. 😿

Outstanding care for our dog Bella. Knowledgable vets and nurses. Freindly and knowledgable receptionists. Long waits due to their business. Expensive but understandable as to why. Good care costs. Worth it.

The staff was amazing! They were the only vet office that actually wanted to care for my 150 lbs Rottweiler. I only wish it wasn't under these circumstances as I had to put my baby down. Great service, great office, great staff. If I ever get another dog, they will be my vet of choice!

Received the best care and service from the staff here. Our boy had an accident and hurt his leg/foot after playing a little too hard. We could tell he was in pain, but didn't know exactly what it was and wanted to rule out a break. Of course this all had to happen after hours. Even though any vet is a litle costly, most of their services here were on par cost wise. They provided great emergncy care as needed and with great care and compassion.
