How to Save Money at Animal Care Center PC
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.

Iv just started taking our border collie in Animal Care and was very surprised to be able to get in short notice. Pricing is very reasonable and staff is great and the doctor as well iv been told by many different animal hospitals that they are not taking anymore new patients or its a week's to get in . Thank you so much for treating my pet .

Zero stars if it was an option! Beyond disgusted with what recently happened! My in laws had taken their newish cat to them in to get spayed! They thought she may be pregnant but wasn't too sure! Without any notice at all, they aborted all 5 kittens and only had a week left until birth! No notice or a phone call until after the procedure was done! You should be ashamed of yourself for doing that! Never will I bring my pets to your location! I'd rather pay Purdues high end rates then have any of my pets be in your care!

Much cheaper than Rensselaer pet care. Not as personal, which I would have liked to ask some questions about my cat while I was there, but it was more of a drop off and pick back up later type situation, as I was having her vaccinated and fixed that day. Maybe next time I can interact with the actual vet and ask the questions I need answered.

I have been taking my babies to Dr Yerk for about 20 years now. She has always been caring, compassionate and knowledgeable. She and her staff always seem to enjoy spending the time with the animals and I couldn't ask for more from a vet.
