How to Save Money at Crystal Lake Animal Hospital

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.

Crystal Lake Animal Hospital staff and doctors are very professional. They took extra care of me and my only son Rookie (my dog) during his last day on earth. Everyone there was very patient/caring with me. I want to say thank you so much for everything.

My dog Ronnie loves his doctor and his assistants. They took good care of my dog after it ate a rubber ball. They brought him back to health. I am very happy with the service. My dog recovered very quickly after the surgery.

Really happy with my first experience; just came in as a new patient for an annual exam and shots and my kitty had a nice stress free time. I really like that the vet and staff didn’t take my pet away to perform anything behind the scenes. The appointment was quick and easy. I always worry about moving to new places and being able to find a good vet. Dr. Melgey and staff were kind and gentle and very lovely! I’ll be returning with all my pets for anything I need.

This is the best Veterinarian practice I have ever had! Doc is the most kind and honest person plus all the staff are really nice and accommodating. They were really patient with my old pit dog being a baby about his claws and they went ABOVE AND BEYOND when it came to urgent surgery to save my puppy. Prices are more than fair as well. I am so happy I found this place and I will never switch.
