How to Save Money at Indian Creek Veterinary 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.

Getting 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 was referred to this vet by a pet store. They said they were wonderful with small or exotic animals. I agree I think they are lovely in being able to take good care of the animals. I had an initial visit which ran kind of long in the waiting aspect but other than that wonderful. My rabbit had a second visit to get spayed. When I dropped her off they asked me to sign a paper stating a good phone number to call and an alternative number as well to let us know when she’s ready for pickup. I dropped her off when they opened at 7:30am. They said that they would call when she’s awake and ready but pickup is usually between 2-5p. They NEVER CALLED US TO LET US KNOW SHE WAS READY. I had to call them. I don’t know how long she was waiting, but that’s VERY frustrating to do to a little animal in pain. Not very happy about that

I took my bunny there because they were the only hospital I could find that would see him same day and was told my another vet to not wait in the condition he is in. He was given 1 oral antibiotic, 1 oral anti inflammatory, and 1 ear drop. The antibiotic was supposed to last 10 days but only last 4 even though we were giving them to him as prescribed. I called the vet and they admitted they sent us home with the wrong amount. They said they could have a refill ready for me to pick up. They’re only open 8-6 Monday through Friday. Not open on weekends I work an hour and a half away 8-5 so I wouldn’t be able to make it there until Tuesday when I have someone who can pick it up for me. They said I could just use the ear drops until I can pick it up because they’re the same as the antibiotic. I asked if I’d still have to pay even though I was given the incorrect amount. They said I’d still have to pay because I was charged for the amount they gave me. Either way they still wasted my time and gas. When you go to the vet you’re trusting them with someone who is like a family member including trusting that they’ll give you the right amount of medication. You think they’d make an effort to better rectify the situation and compensate for my time after all the money I spent on a deposit for the appointment. It’s not okay for you to waste their time but it’s okay if they waste yours.
