How to Save Money at East Wake 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.

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.

The patience, knowledge and compassion each person shows you and your furry family members is unmatched. I didn’t know I would love another vet like I do the Creech’s, but Dr, Atkinson is SO GOOD! She doesn’t rush you, offers such good support and suggestions in tough situations and is so encouraging. I also like she is not overly aggressive with treatments. She is the perfect match for our family and I’m so glad we met her within the practice. Her vet tech Toni never stops smiling and you can tell she loves her job and all those she cares for. Then lets talk about the admin team. Bailie, Kaylee and Amanda rock! It’s like seeing old friends whine you come. And they remember little details about your family because they really care. We were at our old very for 15+ years and it was tough to decide to switch but I am SO thankful we did 3 years ago. We love and appreciate each of you at East Wake Animal Hospital.

I love everyone in this practice. I've taken my pets to the Creechs for years. I think my pets have been treated by each veterinarian and received quality care every time. The staff is friendly and professional. My dog is a French Bulldog and has allergies. They are very knowledgeable and have gotten them under control. I wouldn't take my pets anywhere else.

We love the personal care you get from this animal hospital. Our dog Philo has cancer and has had to have several surgeries to remove tumors. Dr. Creech is an excellent surgeon. Everyone on his staff is so caring and really takes the time to make Philo feel comfortable and explain everything to us. I wouldn't take my animals anywhere else.

My husband brought 🐈⬛ in for his rabies & another vaccination, nail trim & yearly physical. He was seen by vet techs & not vet so maybe I was mistaken.Anyway 🐈⬛ seemed very unsettled & disagreeable not being in spouse’s presence for procedures but 🐈⬛ has been angry acting before. They are a good vets office & services are reasonable in cost. JJ

Called several times with no answer and then left a message about my pet needing to be seen due to a few health concerns I have. Also filled out an online form. Got no response. Was recommended to them by my pet sitter but very disappointed.
