How to Save Money at Red Lodge Veterinary 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.

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.

Since our regular vet had closed down we had been struggling to find a new vet for our three critters. The staff at redlodge vet were kind, understanding, and all around helpful. They took the time to talk to us and get to know our animals. Thanks to the staffs love of their profession and fantastic service we have found a new vet. Thank you redlodge vet for stepping up and being there for us when we needed you.

RL Vet continues to deliver the best vet experiences I've ever had. Dr. Casey & Dominique are so thorough and happy when we visit. The staff is helpful and friendly, like with scheduling and prescription refill questions. These people are active in the community. It's not uncommon at all to see them and their families helping friends and neighbors. Thank you!!

I moved here a year ago & both my dogs were seen by the doctor. I was so happy to get the great service and the staff were so great . My oldest dog Luke was seen for his Arthritis he could barely move. He was put on meds and within the first week he is doing great & walking much better. Thank you for caring for both my dogs in a timely matter. I'm very pleased for Everyone in the office helping me as I'm disabled. They really explained to where I was so comfortable here. Thank you all!! Cindy

My dog needed emergency care while we were on vacation in Red Lodge. We called after hours and the veterinarian met us at the clinic within minutes. My dog can be a bit difficult, but the vet was knowledgable, calm, friendly, and professional with us. I really don't know what we would have done without this vet, and wish I could give this clinic ten stars. Thank you SO much.
