How to Save Money at Green Bay Animal Hospital
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.

We just started going to Green Bay Animal hospital for our 2 dogs and already we’ve had numerous visits because of their issues. Every person has been so welcoming and professional and our dogs feel at ease at this clinic. They have solved the dogs medical issues and we are very grateful for that. We plan on being lifelong customers and refer everyone we know to them. These are people who clearly love animals and enjoy working with them, as well, as their human counterparts.

We switched vets during Covid - when everyone was doing curbside service. Unsettling for someone like me - especially with a new vets office where I knew not a single person. My mind was out at ease immediately with how attentive the staff all were from the moment they’d come to get one of the dogs to the phone call with the vet to any follow-up when needed. And now that we’ve actually been inside and actually met the humans caring for our dogs it’s only gotten better. A tech even brought a medication to our house to show me how to administer it to our anxious guy on her way home when I wasn’t able to get there (because I cannot lift him into the car). Seriously these humans really truly care about their furry patients and it shows as they go above and beyond. And our dogs LOVE them.

We love Green Bay Animal Hospital!! Our previous dog, Sandi, lived out her final years being cared for there. She sadly passed in 2020 and we recently got a new labradoodle puppy. Our previous primary vet has moved away, but we have been very pleased with all of the vets on staff and the techs are wonderful. One of the best things about Green Bay is the front desk staff!! They are kind and compassionate while juggling a myriad of tasks and doing it all gracefully. Our interactions are always positive, even though it's a very busy place. Kudos!!

Dr. Bartell was amazing with my cat. She was very thorough and a great listener. Also, the staff is terrific, they got me in at the last minute since my cat was an emergency case. I highly recommend this practice.
