How to Save Money at Crescent Springs Animal 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.

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.

They were able to get us in the very next day when my cat had an infected bite and was doing terribly. They were able to remedy the problem give him antibiotics and painkillers and he was good in a day or two. They provided great no-nonsense care at what I found to be a reasonable price.

This is a very professional and friendly place to take your fur babies to. My best friend had to have surgery and right from the moment of the consultation, I knew he was in good hands and that I had nothing to worry about. Thank you Dr. Weiss and your team for taking care of him as if he was your own. Only three days after his surgery I could tell significant improvement and thus he was quickly on the road to recovery.

Money Hungry like the rest of em. Had my dog in there. Paid 275 dollars to be sent home with pet profin. My dog is still sick and he has a UTI not quite sure why a urine wasn't done when I brought him in in the first place? So I called in today and asked the Vet to write him a script for antibiotics for a UTI and what do they say? Oh well...you are going to have to bring in a Urine sample. I'm not paying for another visit when he was miss diagnosed. Trust me these people do not care about your animal n my baby is still so sick. Shame on you and how u run your business. What doctor doesn't call on a simple antibiotic? It's a sad world we live in when companies like this become to Greedy. I'll bring him to your door when hedies. So you can see the damage you are causing. Oh and I'm an attorney so we will see what the commonwealth has to say when I file my suit.

My family has been coming to Cresent Springs Animal hospital for 10+ years. They are more on the expensive side (there's itemized charge for every little thing) so we've tried to limit our visits whenever possible. Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to our sweet fur baby last month due to a terminal illness. We arranged to have our sweet girl "Reina" put to sleep and cremated through Cresent Springs Animal hospital. Several packages were offered for creamation the only variation in cost was due to dog weight and the type of urn. Since we already had our own urn(A beautiful urn with a space for dog hair and a impression of the dogs paw) we chose a fairly basic package. I made sure I asked the receptionist over the phone about the paw impression being included with the creamation. I was assured that the paw impression would be done and was included in the cost of the creamation. On the day our Reina was put to sleep I confirmed the importance of the paw impression when I handed the receptionist my credit card. She said she would make sure our request was noted. After our Reina received the first injection for sedation before the euthanasia injection my 8 yr old daughter(who loves and never known a day with our or dog), became extremely emotional and didn't want to leave our dog. Dr. Weiss, placed his hand on my daughters shoulder and asked her if she would like them to make a paw print of Reina's that we could keep forever. My daughter, of course wailed "YES!" through her tears. Today we picked up Reina's ashes from Cresent Springs Animal clinic and my daughter noticed almost immediately that the paw impression was missing. I called Cresent Springs Animal Clinic and asked about the missing paw impression and the receptionist said "Sorry, the paw impression wasn't done." I then called the crematorium and they said that they don't do the paw impressions and if one was requested it would have been done by Cresent Springs Animal clinic staff. I've been on the fence about writing this review. The fact that my daughter has been sobbing for the last few hours since I explained a paw impression is no longer possible since Reina has been creamated has fueled this review. What might seem like a small oversight to some has poured salt in a wound that hasn't begun to heal.

I've used this place for years! The staff are polite and super friendly with the animals. They've never steered me wrong and always attempt to help out with pricing and alternatives, if needed. I definitely recommend this place!
