How to Save Money at GoodVets West Loop
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.
Reviews from Google
I very much agree with one of the previous reviews..."GoodVets" really IS an understatement! My dog is a rescue with "early childhood trauma" and is afraid of strange people and places. Even though he cries the whole time he is there and attempts escape every chance he gets, the staff never seem to get annoyed and are always extremely patient with him. My dog had a dental cleaning yesterday and Dr. Berlin herself called me 3 times to update me on how things were going. She is always so great at explaining things and answering any questions I may have. I never feel rushed at appointments or that they are trying to make an extra buck off of me. In fact, I am always surprised with how reasonable their prices are. I highly recommend GoodVets West Loop! (Thanks for taking such wonderful care of my son!)

We love GoodVets and so happy when they extended their hours for the weekend. Otis loves going to the vet and always tries to walk us there when we take a walk around the neighborhood. Otis and Maya love Dr. Beauchamp and Dr. Taylor. I always feel that my pets are well taken care of when we are there! The staff and doctors truly love animals and care about the wellness of any fur baby that walks thru the door. The staff and doctors Agree.

Both this office and Dr. Beauchamp are a God send! I had terrible vet experiences here and the city and was finally recommended to Good Vets! My dog was sick for weeks, other vet could not figure out what was wrong. Within a week, Dr. B had my pup pretty much back to her old self! She’s so communicative and the office staff is also great. I like that you can do a monthly plan that includes everything. So much more affordable than paying individually out of pocket for everything!

I brought my cat here in an emergency and I was so stunned by how affordable the services were and how kind and caring all staff members are. I felt so comfortable with their expertise that I switched to GoodVets for my 14 year old chihuahua and they have worked wonders with how kind patient and understanding they are to his geriatric needs. They talk us through everything, provide quotes, alternate care plans and overall you can tell that they are willing to do anything to promote an excellent quality of life for any pet. BIG SHOUTOUT TO DR.BEAUCHAMP and every single vet tech for helping my favorite cat and oldest boy!

Good for the small stuff but you can't count on them for any real help with deeper issues. Good for a quick trip to keep your vaccines up and stuff, sure. They failed to diagnose or do an ultrasound that they said they would do which may have helped us early detect cancer in my last dog - even though we took her there for months while she was getting sicker and sicker. Then this year they sold us a $400 food allergy test for our new family member that every other vet has since told me is useless and inaccurate. Nice people and a convenient location for basic care but thumbs down if you have an older pet or one who needs anything more than basics.
