How to Save Money at Park Veterinary Group
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.

I've been taking my dog Smokey here for the past 10 years. We've had mostly good experiences with the vet aside from some long waits, which is understandable. I had an appointment two weeks ago for some shots and I was told they couldn't do all the shots at once so I put the two weeks in my calendar and came back. I must have read date in my calendar wrong, because they said I missed my appointment when I arrived for the second round of shots. Now, I moved several years ago, but continued to use this vet because I've been pretty happy with the service. I asked the girl at the counter if I could just stay because I don't live close anymore and it's just for a quick shot. She said sure, but I might have to wait for other appointments. I said fine, I'll go for a walk and come back. While on my walk I received a call from the same girl telling me it would cost me an extra 90 dollars because I was doing a same day/emergency appointment and that was their policy. I understand policy and what not, but I feel completely disrespected. I told the girl I had been a customer for 10 years, and I still come even though we don't live in the area anymore and her reply was "and?". Just super rude. Honestly, with how much business I've given them over the past ten years, I was hoping the phone call would have been, "Hey, the doctor will see you real quick and get that shot done". Instead, I was told that I was going to have to wait an indefinite amount of time, and pay an extra 90 dollars. To be honest, there are some appointments I have there that could be handled by a vet tech, but the vet will come in and I am charged extra because we "saw the vet". I've put up with this because I liked the vet, and I enjoyed giving them my business. I would have hoped that would have been considered when I miss my first appointment in 10 years, that really is just the second half of my original appointment. Just super rude and inconsiderate of a very loyal customer of the past 10 years. I will be finding a new vet, and I cannot recommend this place anymore.

Nothing but good experiences here. The staff is always so accommodating especially when I bring my reactive/anxious dog. Friendly and professional. Highly recommend!

Dr. Peterson and his staff are amazing. He is extremely knowledgeable and his staff is so kind. I had an emergency last week and they saw my dog Rags as a walk-in. Unfortunately, I had to put him to sleep but the staff was so supportive and caring during the entire process. Thank you so much for your kindness and empathy; I wish there were more folks like this.
