How to Save Money at Black Creek 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.

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 started coming here in December 2022 when my GSD was 8 weeks old, and every time I come here I always get the best service, friendliest faces, and exceptional care from the doctors. Today I called about a possibly broken tooth on my now 4month old pup. They told me they didn't have any appointments today. However they asked how quick I could get here and I might have to wait awhile (i live 5 min away). Absolutely no problem (I expected that, I was just grateful they managed to squeeze us in). We ended up waiting maybe 5 minutes, and Dr. Gregory had us seen quickly. Our pup man is 100% okay, and thanks to the doc, my mind was put at ease. It was, and always has been, exceptional here. I give this place my gratitude and will always come back. 🙏🏼 The whole team is amazing. Thanks again!!

We have been going to Black Creek Animal Hospital for several years now but we’ve been seeing them quite frequently for one pet or another over the past 6 months. We have always loved the staff and can always get in quickly when needed. Just a few weeks ago Dr Gregory even saved our pet turkey! I will always trust him with all of our pets, no matter their species! Attached are before and after photos or our Tommi girl that Dr Gregory treated with no hesitation and if I had to guess, a good bit of amusement 😂

Vets and Techs seem knowledgeable. I'm not very good with names, but one of the vets misdiagnosed my dog. Next time we went, the other vet (the male one) diagnosed him quickly and treated him effectively. Nice people. Overall good environment

I brought in my cat to find out what was wrong with his teeth. I made it very clear I was on a tight budget and could not spend more than $500 or $600. After attempting to make me feel bad with lots of "well then he might die" for not accepting so many "tests" and "precautionary measures" or their $1,500 estimate, I took him to Guyton animal hospital and they gave him the care he needed for less than $500.

Doctor Gregory has been our veterinarian for a long time and has always taken very good care of our dogs if you want someone who will give your pets the best care give him a call you will not be disappointed. The staff is always polite and is very helpful with any questions you may have.
