How to Save Money at Willowbrook Wildlife 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.

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.

Called to let them know I had found an orphan gosling. They were really friendly and said they had the space for it. Two days later I was able to go before their closing time. Even though they had now reached their capacity for goslings they still were going to take it. My daughters wanted to know how it was doing, so I called and right away they had linked me to the gosling. Told me he was in good health and the next step was to find him a family or wait for him to be old to be released again. Again very friendly even encouraged I could call again to check up on it. Got relieved they took great care of it and are also nice enough to share his updates.

We’ve always loved and supported this facility. Unfortunately they will stop accepting injured raccoons in mid-November. We will have to find another facility to use & donate to. We’re so disappointed.

Did I understand correctly that you couldn't give the bunnies back because it's not legal? by what miracle? We just wanted to check if they were hungry and the lady said they had to be put to sleep because they were too weak

Willowbrook Wildlife Clinic is awesome! One night I saw a dead possum that was hit by a car and noticed 5 of her babies were still alive. I collected the little guys and kept them overnight, unsure of what to do. Someone on Facebook recommended Willowbrook so I gave them a call. They would take the babies! I made the drive out there and the staff was very kind and helpful. The entire site is a wonderful dedicated space to wildlife rehabilitation and education. Next time I visit, I will bring the kids to enjoy the walking path, scenery and various animals. NOTE: No pets allowed on paths.

Such nice staff. So good to know there is somewhere that you can take injured or orphaned animals and they will care for them. They either release back tonthe wild or keep in the habitat if they aren't healthy or strong enough to survive in the wild.
