How to Save Money at Litke's Veterinary Service
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.

Had the best experience here! I had a sick dog that they were able to squeeze in the same day. They were so so kind and helpful. I can tell they care about clients and pets. Thank you so much!

Litke’s fit my dog in when no other vets would and the service was the best ever!! If litke’s couldn’t get my dog in today I was going to have take him the University of Minnesota emergency clinic. The cost of going to the U would have been crazy. Thank you Litke’s for taking such good care of my dog and doing all the tests!!!

Thank you so much Dr. Litke for your farm visit. You did great job with gelding my horse and answering my questions. You were very attentive to my needs. So glad you are not too far away!

We've been with Litkes since they opened. They've always been caring, informative and supportive. I used to call the clinic 10,000 a week for my dog that had epilepsy. They never made me feel like an inconvenience or like I was pestering them. They've done all of our preventative care as well as emergencies and surgeries. Maggie and Jamie are amazing and our older dog Rue who likes nobody loves their new vet (i do not remember his name)which speaks for itself to us. Also lots of caring g vet techs. Crystal and Nadine are awesomeness

Today, I called (during a snowstorm) to have one my cat's seen due to sudden hind leg paralysis. I chose Litke's based upon referrals to them. I've never been treated more kindly, compassionately, and genuinely. Despite having to put my 4.5 year old cat down (blood clot) - it truly was the most loving place to be. My immense thanks to Dr Zoe Morris, and vet tech Crystal. Both of you were so soothing to me, and most of all, Gertie. In April 2022, our family said goodbye to our beloved Goldendoodle, after a lymphoma diagnosis. I wish that would have been at Litke's. My experiences are night and day. Thank you, from the bottom of my broken heart, for your gentleness with both of us. It made an impact. I'll be calling tomorrow, to make appointments for our other pets. This is exactly where I want them seen, for the rest of their lives.
