How to Save Money at GoodVets Roscoe Village
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.

The team at Goodvets Roscoe Village were absolutely amazing when I had to take my little boy Buddy to be put down. They made me feel very comfortable with the decision after examining him, and a week or two later I even received a condolences card, with a short message from likely their whole team. It was one of the sweetest things I'd ever seen. If I ever need to take my other cat in for anything, I'll be very confident taking him here.

Very very kind staff and informative team, including Drs. Ford & Beauchamp. I took my cat, Smokey, here for treatment with a heart murmur and CKD. Ultimately I had to go elsewhere for costs, as he was a 17 year old kitty cat and I was dealing with financial hardships. However, they were *very* careful and attentive, and compassionate about my situation. They were able to offer more cost-accessible treatments for Smokey for the while I was going through this hard time. Smokey unfortunately passed about a month ago of renal failure and tonight I received a mailed letter signed by every doctor and technician in their office. Top tier service and quality care - I will likely be bringing our next cat to Dr. Ford once we're ready to adopt a rescue in the future!

We had a wonderful experience at GoodVets in Roscoe Village. There was no wait time for our 10 am appointment, the vet was straightforward and explained the best options for the health of our cats in simple terms, and gave us options with pricing. Special shoutout to our vet tech Mike, who was so incredibly wonderful with our babies. We have been struggling with brushing our cats teeth since we brought them home, and Mike gave us some great advice that is working very well. He was so sweet and really seemed to care for our cats (and they could definitely tell he was a great person because they were so comfortable around him!) We will definitely be back for any medical needs for our pets, and would definitely recommend GoodVets in Roscoe Village to anyone in need of a trustworthy veterinarian!

Have had an excellent experience so far. Scheduling is easy and the front desk staff is friendly and accommodating. I have had no problem getting appointments quickly, and they have been extra helpful as my cats get started with a new medication routine. Dr. Ford has been clear and transparent with his recommendations, and I can tell that my cats health is always his top concern.

I trust Dr. Beauchamp and her team to take care of both Einstein and Pixie. She's is obviously smart and correctly diagnoses my two senior dogs, but just as importantly we feel like she really cares about them. I have had nothing but positive experiences with everybody, including the reception desk and vet assistants.
