How to Save Money at Johnson Craig DVM
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.

Ohhhhh my God!!! This hospital is a Community North for your pets. My little fur baby was stepped on by an unknown child and her foot was dislocated. Parkside hospital was so compassionate with us over the phone, unlike three other pet hospitals we called. We didn't have insurance they got us in the same day and the rates were fair. The service and staff were so sweet. The hospital was very clean and decorated for Christmas. We are so thankful for the care everyone gave my baby.

It's been a long time since we have had a dog fur baby and we adopted from Putnam County Humane Society 3 weeks ago. Dr. Craig put us at ease with a number of things we were concerned with and he was so good with "River" and us. His assistant Jennifer was super too!

Our dog is very high strung. They were happy to prescribe a sedative instead of muzzling him like our previous vet. They are very easy going and friendly. He went today, got all his vaccines and a blood test and was completely at ease. I am very pleased with the whole situation.

Johnson Craig is a doctor who takes care of your fur baby is if it were his own. We couldn't be prouder to have him as our vet. Thank you for letting us be your patient.

There was a mixup about my appointment and when I got there, everyone was gone except Dr Johnson and John, the tech. Dr. Johnson stayed and took care of my pet so I didn't have to reschedule. Highly recommend. Have always had wonderful experiences at Parkside.
