How to Save Money at Cedar Grove Veterinary Clinic, P.A.
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.

In May, 2022 we went to Cedar Grove for an emergency with our old beagle. She had to be put down. The entire staff could not have been more compassionate, especially Dr. Samari. Yesterday we were back with our 12-week-old English springer spaniel pup. Again, the staff was superb - especially Dr. Samari. It's well worth the drive from Thunder Bay!

Our little Yorkie had an emergency over the holiday weekend, and we called this clinic after hours and left a message. Dr. Samari immediately got back to us and sent us to an emergency veterinary hospital in Duluth, which was able to treat our dog. We called Dr. Samari backthe next day to thank him, and he said he would be available for followup if needed. Our cabin is hundreds of miles away from home and it is good to know that we have good resources available on the North Shore. (Our little girl is doing well now and sharing my lap with my computer as I type this.) S Smith

We happened upon Cedar Grove because our dog got hurt out in the wilderness, but I ended up going the 6 hours back for a teeth cleaning (and bonus Grand Marais trip) because I loved them so much. The place was incredible in an emergency and just as wonderful in working with us for a return. Wish he could be our primary vet.
