How to Save Money at Lakeview 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.

This is the best animal clinic that I've been to with any animals that I've ever had. It was my Max's first time as well as mine and they treated my fur baby like family & made us feel very welcomed. He got his first set of shots and we are going back here to get the second set so he will be current and up to date.

I love Dr. Rachel. We've been going here for many years now. We've said goodbye to a few of our babies. I don't know what I'd do without her waking me through every step. I've rescued three big babies over the last two years which have all become patients here. No nonsense.. no unnecessary tests or pushed medication. The cost is very affordable, especially when you have more than one or four babies to care for.

I’d give zero stars if I could. I took my 18-month old cat here after noticing she had an extremely swollen paw. My cat is not friendly towards other people and is definitely a fighter, but the assistants lost control of her multiple times. She fell hard on the floor a couple of times and they both looked like they’d never handled an animal before. Anyways, this vet pokes around my cats paw with a popsicle stick, and tells me it’s simply a bee sting.. with the knowledge it had been swollen 3-4 days. She then gave her an antibiotic shot, which is not even appropriate to handle a supposed bee sting, and my cat was traumatized the whole day after. So we waited a week like she told us to do, and eventually after feeling that couldn’t possibly be it, we took her to another vet in town. Much more professional. Come to find out her entire paw was broken. In 4 bones. This lady was poking my cats fractured paw around with a popsicle stick. It must have felt like torture to my baby and it makes me sick. I came to find out today that one of my friends had also brought her cat there, where the vet diagnosed her with bronchitis. That cat had blood poisoning and was in an animal hospital 2 days getting its stomach pumped. She has misdiagnosed these two poor animals, and I have no doubts she’s misdiagnosed many more. I’m not sure if this woman has been a vet so many years that she feels she can get messy, i don’t know if she’s messy in general, I don’t know and I don’t care. I would never trust my pet with them again. Please do not bring your animals here.
