How to Save Money at Allegan Animal 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.

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.

Wonderfully attentive staff. Up-to-date on latest treatments and vaccines. I appreciate all the personal care my animals receive and the professional and compassionate way they address the owners! Prices are actually lower than what I have found at other area vets....by quite a bit.

Words can not express how grateful my family is for the impeccable care that you provided for our dog Whopper. We had made an appointment for the veterinarian to look at Whoppers bleeding gums. Something we believed was a minor issue. However, on our way to the appointment, it quickly escalated into an emergency situation. Out of nowhere he began bleeding profusely from his mouth. We arrived at the office during the staffs lunch. They dropped everything, contacted the veterinarian who promptly returned and immediately began caring for Whopper. Within the hour Whopper was in surgery and the staff kept us informed during the entire process. Whopper is doing exceptional now recovering at home. The care, concern, and professionalism that we were given is beyond measure! We will forever be grateful! ❤️

My dogs have been under the care of Dr. VanDenBrink and Dr. Mullens for several years. The entire staff have become like extended family. Very warm, sincere and knowledgeable. I have had several litters of puppies come to the office and it's always a pleasure to see all of the positive interactions every one has with them. I have had great experiences and know that my loved dogs are getting the best when they are seen and treated at the Allegan Animal Clinic.

I have been coming to this veterinarian for over 30 years, since Dr.Main has retired, this vet had gone downhill. They no longer crop dog's ears either, which made this place famous. today I drove an hour to have a Bengal cat abscess looked at. I was told even though it's indoor animal it's mandatory to receive a rabies or they cannot serve me anymore. I packed up my cat and I said I'll go somewhere else. The last time they gave her the latest vaccine I honestly didn't think she was going to survive. The staff which was quite a few of them was so aggravated one of them followed me outside and got rude with me about where to send my records, how would I know the new vet so fast? Told me I hope I get the day I deserve. I will never come back here. I will be sure to tell all the people I know what this place has become

I want to apologize for not getting the names of the wonderful people who helped me, but I cannot thank them enough!! I had a 14 year old kitty who was needing to be put down same-day, August 29th. After unsuccessfully trying to find someone to do at-home euthanasia, we called Allegan Animal Clinic, and they were able to get us in that afternoon. They made the entire process so easy and everyone was so incredibly sweet and empathetic, even though they had never met me or my kitty. They helped us get a nose print and offered little trinket bottles to put fur and whiskers in. They made the hardest thing I've ever done a lot more bearable. After he went to sleep, they handled the cremation as well with Noah's Pet Crematory. When I came in a week later to pick up his ashes, they remembered me without me saying a word. A couple days after that, I received a card in the mail with hand-written sympathy notes. Truly above and beyond for a gal and her kitty cat that they had just met. Thank you so much Allegan Animal Clinic!
