How to Save Money at Animal Health Center of Leawood

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.

We are beyond impressed with this practice. The veterinarians are brilliant, practice with high emotional intelligence and love our dogs like we do. The staff is kind, welcoming and professional. The response time and ability to get in quickly is perfect for our needs. Facility is beautiful and clean. Timely communication Is unmatched. Our 8 year old dog is nervous but Dr. Wilcox’ patience, compassion and gentle nature makes Cora feel safe.

I would highly recommend Dr. McClain at Animal Health Center!! We were referred to her by a friend for a second opinion on an issue with our Lab mix Marley. The staff are so welcoming and sweet to her and myself, they listen and are thorough in their exam/diagnosis and explanation. I love the detailed email I receive after each visit. Marley has never liked going to the vet, but that has definitely changed! It may be a bit of a drive for us, but it is so worth it!! Thank you all for loving our girl like we do!!!

We love the clean, cool facility and the wonderful, knowledgeable people. Melinda is so happy with such a relaxed vibe that pets and people are drawn toward. Dr. Wilcox is incredible at her job—she's the perfect combination of a vet who is highly intelligent with incredible bedside manner. She cares deeply about pets and their owners. We've been blessed to have her guidance, love and patience on our journey with a senior dog and all that entails. Couldn't do it without her and her amazing team!

Our dogs are eight and seven years old. Dr Wilcox has been their vet since they were 12 weeks old and we wouldn’t trust anyone else with their care. We followed her from her previous location and the success she has had is a testament to her abilities as a veterinarian.

Our experience with Animal Health Center of Leawood has been wonderful. Our pets have be well taken care of and the veterinarians have gone above and beyond. Dr. McClain and Dr. Wilcox are so great with our pets and we've never had such great care! They take their time to explain everything thoroughly and answer any and all questions. I would definitely recommend them!
