How to Save Money at Lane Veterinary
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 can't say enough good things about Lane Vet! Ever since we moved from the city to the burbs in 2020, we had been looking for a Veterinarian to replace the vet practice in the city that we (and our 2 dogs) loved. We finally found that with Lane Vet. Dr. Baker is extremely knowledgeable, a great listener/communicator, very proactive, and shows an abundance of care and compassion for pets and pet parents. Also, all of the staff members that I've interacted with have been extremely helpful, kind and professional. The facility is brand new with a spa like feel and conveniently located for anyone in the Western Burbs. Our dogs are an important part of our family, so we are very particular about where they receive their care. We are so glad we found the right provider in Dr. Baker and Lane Vet.

We have been lucky enough to be under Dr. Baker’s care for 10+ years. Dr. Baker is the total package - a knowledgeable practitioner and a compassionate person. If you are looking for a vet that communicates and lets you know all your options - you have found her! We had been seeing Dr. Baker since our first dog was a puppy. When he turned 2.5, he started having seizures and was diagnosed with auto immune meningitis. Dr. Baker was with us every step of the way - referring us to specialists and calling them on our behalf to ask follow up questions and to collaborate on his care. She treated my dog like her own, making sure he had all the medications and treatment lined up so he could live his best quality of life. It would have been easy to be overwhelmed, but Dr. Baker and her team made sure that we knew what was happening and what the care plan was. Because of Dr. Baker’s care our dog Henry lived a wonderful and comfortable life despite the cards he was dealt. She held my hand when we reached the end and kept my Henry safe and as pain free as possible. It’s a gift that is truly priceless and I will forever be thankful for. Our second dog has also received thoughtful and amazing care from Dr. Baker. Our dog is an anxious soul, and she connected me with the right behavioral specialists so he can live his fullest life without fear. In addition to his behavioral challenges, he has also had issues with skin allergies and Dr. Baker and her team made a plan so we can keep it under control so he can be comfortable and itch free. Clark lives a great life and is able to relax and enjoy his favorite things thanks to the team Dr. Baker assembled for us. In short, we love Dr. Baker and highly recommend her and her team to any pet parents out there! She deeply cares and is extremely knowledgeable. Your fur baby will be in the best hands.

Dr. Baker is one of the best! It took me going to a couple different veterinarians until I knew I found the one. She’s smart, personable and will help you make the right decisions for your fur babies. She treated our dogs like they were her own and is so easy to talk to. I always recommend her to anyone needing a caring veterinarian.
