How to Save Money at Animal Hospital of Stone Park
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 animal hospital of Stone part is a very suitable place to take your pet. I’ve been taking my dog to get his rabies vaccine there for years. They have a deal if you come before a certain time on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The staff has always been very friendly, the doctor is very nice, and they’ve always treated my dog very nicely which is very important. The only trick is getting into the parking lot. You kind of have to pass the place up and then come back around. Even coming back to the alleyway is preferred.

THE WORSE PLACE EVER! Got my 4 month kitten his shots here they gave him 2 and now he’s hyperventilating, not eating, throwing up, sleeping all day. Went in and told them what’s going on they didn’t care whatsoever they wanted to charge me $1,000 to run some test to see what’s wrong when clearly he’s having a bad/allergic reaction to the shots they gave him! NEVER AGAIN will I go here! Don’t recommend, 0 stars!

In the beginning when I started coming here. I thought the vet knew his stuff. But over the years he got money hungry. I had surgery for my cat's ear and was charged twice the price of the same procedure somewhere else. The last straw was when I was buying cat food for my cat. At first I didn't need the cat food but I observed the price. When I decided I would buy the cat food he raised the price on me. He was ripping me off. Also I heard from a receptionist that he was going to put to sleep some kittens. She begged him not to. And he gave her a week to find homes for them. Tells you how much he likes cats. I would definitely go to a different vet because of all this.

HORRIBLE phone/customer service. The “receptionist” is ignorant and no help at all. Wish I can give 0 stars. Couldn’t get ahold of anyone else for more than 30minutes. Couldn’t even get ahold of the vet. By far the WORST veterinarian location.

These guys are thieves!! They charged me to see the vet and they prescribe him medicine. Charged me the fee and the medicine which I gladly paid. No more than a few days after visit they called to follow up and I told them eye is not getting better. They told me to bring back in and I agreed. Once I come in they tell me they have to charge me the consultation fee again. What was the point of the first fee I paid and the medicine! Why would you charge again if you misdiagnosed? Then as I walk out I take pic of policy and license. Then lady at front tells me if I would like a copy of policies/license. I said okay and she since I am taking pics. I am taking pic of license to file complaint and I said I’ll take copy of license since she offered. She stayed quiet cause she misspoke and the other lady dismissed it by saying have a nice day. Completely unprofessional and predatory since owners will do anything for their pets!! Go to another vet… I will be filing complaint with board and wherever I can.
