How to Save Money at Animal Emergency Clinic
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.

My great Dane attacked my parents 15 year old Maltese. The staff was very nice and understanding. The vet was incredibly nice. They took great care of Ozzy and helped reassure me. They didn't judge me or make me feel worse about the attack . The attack was very traumatic for me as I was in the middle. I appreciate the quick treatment and excellent care!!

After a neighbor found a sickly stray cat in their yard we took it took home to try and help it till Monday when our vet opens. After a few moments we knew there was something seriously wrong and it needed medical attention right away! We called first and the vet was ready and waiting for us! Unfortunately there was nothing we could do to save it! The vet was kind and explained all the options she could with the outcome of each! But no matter what the cat would pass away! They allowed me to hold the cat when we put him to sleep and even the vet was talking calmly to the poor guy and giving him loving as he passed over! Price? Not overly expensive and the website clearly says 100 dollars to start, but everything else was talked about and priced before things were done and lol the lab testing we had done was done there and results shown to us! I highly recommend them! Everyone there was wonderful, during the whole ordeal!

We recently used the clinic when we realized our cat had a possible urinary blockage and we couldn't wait 12 hours for our vet to open. I arrived around 9pm and the staff were very kind and professional. We were seen by the doctor right away. The doctor was very knowledgeable and recommended immediate action. They saved our cat's life. We picked him up at 7am the next morning and took him to our regular vet to continue treatment. When we arrived at our vet's all of the paperwork was already there and they were ready for us. I'm grateful to have an emergency clinic in our town.

I'm very happy that there is a Vet Clinic open in the evenings for emergencies, but please at least get your facts straight. I was balling when I went int their the other night. My pitbull 7week old pup got bit in the face, and the Vet told me basically that there was very little hope for her to live. He said her brain was injured bad and she might not ever be able to eat or drink again, and I may have to put her down. And that she may not even make it through the night. And we got charged an arm and a leg for one pain killer!!! So we took her home, she started drinking that night and she still seemed bad off, but not as bad as that first day. So the next morning we took her to airport vet on Wabash, and they told me she'll be okay, and it's not life threatening.. and she did have a skull fracture and a blood clot in her eye. But he actually gave me pain meds to take him and some other stuff for her, and she's doing amazing && she's playing, eating and drinking. This place gave me a scare of a life time, and would not recommend them to anyone unless you absolutely have no choice!!

The nurses are very kind but the vet? Rude. Let me start off with why she needs to choose a different occupation; I had a puppy about two years ago and he was sneezing and coughing I took him there out of fear of Parvo and she claimed it was nothing. Following day I took him to Browns vet and guess what he did have parvo and since it wasn't caught in time, thanks to the vet here, there was no chance for him to make it. Next would be what just happened. I have a one year old German Shepherd and she just got fixed. Following her getting fixed at my vet she started having a red puss discharge out of fear and no vets being opened I took her to the emergency vet only for the same vet to be there. She cleaned her wound with peroxide which is exactly what you SHOULDN'T do and told me to do this daily. I was uneasy as she cleaned it and one of the nurses told me I could step out only for the vet to snark at her and told me I needed to stay and watch. This was not okay and our pets are family. She needs to learn to respect the nurses and concerned customers and do her research because it is not okay to clean incisions with peroxide. As the only choice in this town for emergency vet issues it would be nice if the vet here took better care of patients and did her research. Be weary when entering because it does not always go well.
