How to Save Money at Sugar Grove Animal Hospital: Beisinger Richard 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.

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.

Absolutely incredible service, caring and friendly staff, good prices and I love that they have an app and that their documentation is so easy to use when reporting your pets visits to your preferred brand of pet insurance. They’ve been nothing short of fantastic for our golden retriever!!!

Our Maxie passed away Easter Sunday. He was beautiful black labor doodle. We kept him at home til Monday morning. I called Sugar Grove and spoke with a very nice lady and explained our situation that morning and that we’d like to have him cremated. I also asked if she would let our regular vet know that Maxie had passed away as we only saw a certain vet with our boys. She said she would. Our vet was not in the office that day. She let me know that we could bring him in and someone would meet us in the front to help carry him in as he is 72 lbs. We get there, I call and let them know we were out front and again asked if someone could help us. This was a different girl on the line, the first thing out of her mouth was and I quote “Did you pay yet?” I said to this insensitive ding dong, “My dog just died and your asking me about money!!!” Now mind u we have two dogs n we’ve been coming there with our boys for almost 13 years since they were both puppies. I was so upset and devastated my Max has passed so suddenly and that’s what I get on the other end of the phone. I didn’t know money was their priority over my pet passing away. We’ve never been treated like that in all the time we’ve been going there. Oh and I call today Tuesday to ask if the message had gotten to our vet and I was told there was no message for her from me left for her. And again was I going to pay when I picked up Max’s ashes???? AGAIN, money! We have had many dealings with their office and NEVER EVER not paid our bill there!!!!!!! Oh and this was yet another girl that I spoke with. I’m just so sad that we have been treated this way in our darkest hour. I’ve been crying for three days…. Such a disappointment they have been. And my vet doesn’t even know this has transpired. So heartbreaking upon heartbreak of loosing a so so loved pet.

VCA Sugargrove Animal hospital is wonderful for medical care for your pet. They are caring, thoughtful and gentle. Dr Lothery and her staff are awesome! She is one of the main reasons our cocker spaniel is still alive today. She removed a growth on his back leg and was able to conserve muscle loss. Through further treatment, we are happy to say he is leading a normal life and is a cancer free. Thank you so much Dr Lothery! You are the best.

They've been my vets for over 25 yrs for a reason. I like that they are part of the VCA group of practices. There's places that are cheaper for sure, but often they don't offer the same level of services. They do offer a "Care Club" that gives U 2 exams a year. & certain services are included. Go to their website for specifics. When my Aunt moved here she asked me about a vet for her dog. She started using them also & joined the Care Club when it started. I have always been comfortable & trusting in their care. There's nothing they can't do diagnostically, unless it leads to requiring a specialist. They even do several types of general surgery. On that OR note: there's been one instance where I was VERY unhappy w the care my pet received and that vet is gone! Overall, they do seem to have quite a bit of turnover of vets. When I asked abt this I was told that mostly it was bc they wanted to specialize in specific areas after gaining general care experience. I know this to be true in the case of at least three, one retired.

They are very upfront about the health of your pets and knowledgeable about a lot of issues you might have with certain breeds. They genuinely care about my pets and try to work with me on the cost of their care when needed.
