How to Save Money at CompleteCare Veterinary Center
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 already bring my “Petey & Rocky” here to this clinic and the other day I rescued a dog that was tied up on the street, she is emaciated, dirty and scared; she is also friendly and sweet. Once we called and told them that we had a rescue they gave us an appointment that same morning. The information they provided to us was paramount. They made my husband and I feel like we made the right decision with taking this lovely girl and deciding to keep her. I love this place!!

I would strongly recommend CompleteCare, they went above and beyond my expectations, answered all my questions, treated my furry baby as if she was one of their own.

Best vet I've been to. Dr. Lucas and the staff are excellent at keeping the visitation calm if the owner is stressed. They personally have pets & show how much they understand each situation. My dog had a gum abscess I had to address with antibiotics. Being broke, I couldn't afford her procedure, but they checked in with me & continued a plan that would keep my dog safe while waiting for the surgery. Pricing is reasonable, but also excellent for these professionals. My #1 vet recommendation. Now my GSD Lana is thriving & happy!

Took my cat oreo here for the first time, I was told the exam would be free of charge. The receptionist still charged my card $65.00 for the exam fee after confirming with the Doctor that i was a first time client. I'm still waiting for the refund to be returned to my card. Doctor Lukas failed to diagnose my cat with an ear infection or to check his ears completely because there is wax build up and other symptoms.When he shakes his head fluid comes out of his ear. Instead she tells me he may have a heart murmur. I was told Dr. Lukas would return my call the next day, in regards to my concerns. The receptionist have not been helpful in relaying the message. I waited all morning up until closing time of 3pm called to confirm she would return my call, She DID NOT call me back. I won't be bringing my cat here again for a follow up. I'd rather take him to a Doctor who knows what they are doing instead of misdiagnosing the pet which leads will lead to further complications. This is very upsetting given the fact that pets become ill quickly when you do not catch the infection early on. In these pictures you can clearly see the ear wax within his ear and a white substance further into his ear canal. But yet he has no ear infection according to Doctor Lukas !!!!!!!!!!!
