How to Save Money at Crossroads 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.

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.

I'm not quite sure where to begin so I'll simply start with - THANK YOU. Dr. Davies, Dr. Michels, and Dr. Etoll helped us for years with our almost 20 year old cat, Sammy. They guided us through his Hyperthyroid condition and prescribed just the right medicines. Once, he went through a spell where he was pooping outside the litter box and they recommended a calming diffuser that did seem to help. We couldn't be more grateful for the care and compassion that all of the staff showed us over the years. I guarantee they gave us extra years with our Sammy. And although Sammy recently passed away, I will ALWAYS recommend Crossroads Animal Hospital to anyone I know and if (when) we get a new pet, we will certainly start right away with Crossroads again. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

We moved to MN from West Salem Wisconsin 15 years ago & started to bring our pets to Crossroads Animal Hospital based upon my past Vets recommendation. We had been with them for 30 years. She told me about all of Crossroads accreditations. so I was sold Our dear Molly was a puppy and our kitty Tabitha was just 2 years old. I brought our granddaughters to many of our appointments and we were always greeting warmly plus the girls were able to hear our pets heartbeats. Very exciting. These Vets plus the tech staff took us through all our ups and downs of young dogs to old and failing dogs & cats. They were there for us every steps of the way. Much to my surprise, we once again have a puppy! I am back to Crossroads. They call me with updates and results. I am never left to wonder what is going on with my precious pets. I also feel their fees are fair. Thanks to everyone at Crossroads for taking care of our fur family Debra Johnson

I've recently moved to the area and with SO many veterinary options, I was terrified of having a bad experience (or my cats!) Crossroads was a wonderful choice! I called a few other clinics for quotes prior, and this one was initially most affordable, which can sometimes come with risk, but this was one of the best vets I have ever been to. Being new, the doctor listened to my cats' histories to really get a feel for them; she was patient with them, kind, gentle and understanding of their needs and my concerns. Offered and educated me with exactly the advice I went in for, offered me every option available and talked me through any questions I had. Granted my cats hate the vet no matter what, they'll definitely be going back. I'm so glad to have found Crossroads right away as a new home clinic for my fur babies. *and update! Doctor Anna called me during her end of day things and went over additional information we didn't have time for in the room. Such great attention to every pet, very appreciative of their service.

To me a good veterinarian is like a good mechanic. Once you find you, you never go elsewhere. Front staff is very polite and accommodating. The Dr. we visited with (for our cat) was so calm and nice. Even when our cat gave her a couple of right hooks, she didn't even flinch and continued to soothe him, which in the end made us feel better. Very thorough, understanding and compassionate.

Excellent care by the whole staff. We felt well cared for, and the cost was reasonable for last minute care (although goodness knows we are desensitized to the cost of “medical” expenses by the state of the system these days). We would definitely return! Our feline friend is well, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the service we received.
