How to Save Money at Animal Medical Center-Lindstrom
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.

My sister Mary and I have been bringing our pets here for over 20 years. We found the clinic when one of our dogs got sick when we were vacationing in the area and now we travel from our home town in Northfield (90 miles away) to have them treat our beloved fur babies. The vets are superior both in talent and compassion. The entire staff is friendly, caring and kind. They have gotten us through both the loss of pets as well as introducing new ones into the family. We ABSOLUTELY LOVE this clinic and would recommend it highly.

I have brought my animals to see Dr. Peterson for over 20 years. He truly cares for both you and your pets and goes above and beyond what he has to. The staff is also amazing and has remained the same for years which also speaks volumes. I highly recommend!

This is a great clinic. I have multiple dogs. I have been taking them to the clinic for 15 years. The care provided has always been excellent. The doctors take time with the animals. They are skilled, experienced, and courteous. They listen, answer questions, explain options, and provide excellent advice. The staff is also knowledgeable, courteous, experienced, and helpful.

They are very caring people. Have been with them for 12 years and would highly recommend them for your veterinary care. I have never left their feeling as if my dogs haven’t been taken care of. They always call after visits to make sure everything is still ok. That shows me they really care!

We would never take our pets anywhere else! We have been fans of Dr Pedersen since we first walked in the door almost 20 years ago. Excellent staff, quality service, fantastic medical treatment. They treat our pets with compassion, and respect our treatment decisions.
