How to Save Money at Lincoln Square Veterinary 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.

Thank you Lincoln Plaza taking care of Maxie! She is so lucky to have a nice caring vet. And the vet techs as well. We were so nervous because she wasn’t acting the usual self and we were so lucky that we were able to be seen so soon. Everyone was gentle with her and friendly. The vet answered all our questions and was super nice. Thank you so much! We will definitely tell everyone we know about you guys

Dr. Fried and the whole team are outstanding. Our cat Felix has gotten wonderful care here, from routine shots & neutering to an unexpected health issue - the team always takes great care of him and is extremely kind & patient with my questions. Dr. Fried gives candid, straightforward, and clear advice on medical issues. The client relations team is super helpful with both scheduling & pet insurance questions/claims. Very lucky to have this gem in my neighborhood!

Everyone involved was great with this experience. The only recommendation would be less pain medicine to cut cost, as my pet did not need 5 doses. She was good after 2 days. But all in all they did a great job! Thank you!

Everyone, doctor, techs, office staff were outstanding. Very caring. Clean, modern office. Good location. Reasonable prices. The way you handled my situation of having to get into see doctor soon, although I was a Walk In, because I had to get home to my wife who was confined to bed, was very kind of all of you. My wife really appreciated it too. Thank you.

We have been coming here for the past many years. We are always met with incredible passion and knowledge. Dr Fried, Dr McDermott and others are great at what they do and always help out. The boarding is also a good feature, our dogs love it there.
