How to Save Money at All Creatures 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.

Easy to find on Google maps, I texted the number when I arrived and was brought in immediately. I was greeted kindly and professionally and the paperwork was throrough. The vet and aides were non-judgemental, calming to speak with(I have ADHD and anxiety), helpful, honest, throrough and knowledgeable. I was shown how and when to administer antibiotic shots for my bearded dragon and scheduled a follow-up. The pricing for the visit and medications were a LOT lower than I anticipated for this visit. Thank you for the all-around great environment! Lasair and I will see you in a month!

Last month we had to take our hamster, Franklin, in because he was sick. We went in for an emergency visit, and I knew going in it was very likely that we would have to have him euthanized. The staff was beyond compassionate, and I felt like the vet was compassionate but also very straightforward with me. They made the cutest little paw print mold for my son. I honestly don't even think they charged us for everything that they were supposed to charge us for. When my mom looked the bill she said the paw print alone was worth that much. I will recommend this place to everyone. I've never liked a vet so much. Some people you can tell their passion also happens to be where they receive a paycheck, and that's how it was with every staff member we encountered at All Creatures. Yes it was their job, but they really cared.

Bryson was a huge help to me, setting up a website for me and making sure my cat’s new prescription food was ordered and approved! Bryson was also very compassionate and dealt with all my questions in such a professional manor! It’s nice to see someone who enjoys their job, so much so, that it shows in the care we received! Thank you, Bryson!
