How to Save Money at Crosscreek Housecall
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 great things about this place! They have taken absolutely phenomenal care of my dog dealing with heart failure in her old age. I can’t thank Dr. Pepin and Alex, the vet tech, enough for their kindness, patience with all my questions, and expertise. Having a dog with heart failure can be devastating but they have helped me give my dog comfort and I’ll never be able to thank them enough for that. Alex took his time with any questions and concerns I had. He was patient, kind, and knowledgeable. They are affordable, quick to respond/help get you in as quickly as possible(even with staying so busy, it shows how dedicated and great you all are! ), and know what they are doing most of all! Their service is top notch. I couldn’t ask for a better experience. Thank you Dr. Pepin and staff!

I just want to share my experience. This is going to be hard. My Great Dane Dexter got very sick I took him to Cross Creek, unfortunately there was nothing they could do, do to his diagnosis. Unfortunately he had to be put to sleep. I can't say enough good things about the doctor she called me and explained everything that was wrong with my sweet boy. When I made the decision the next day to put him down I can't say enough about the young man that had to give the shot, he was so caring, patient and compassionate, he explained everything that I needed to know in such a caring way. One of the worst things I've ever had to make the decision to do, I'm so glad I made the decision to bring him here for his final time. We did it outside under a shade tree. It truly was a beautiful place to have to do the unthinkable. 😭😭😭
