How to Save Money at Oakley Square 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.

So impressed! They made us feel welcome immediately. My daughter recommended them and I couldn’t be happier. You can tell all of the staff members love animals. Professional. On time.

Oakley Square has been caring for our fur babies for nearly 18 years. We love the staff here and many of them have been there forever, which tells me they must be doing something right. They are kind, friendly and thorough. Dr. Bends has been with us through two crazy (high maintenance) corgis and just has the most gentle and compassionate bedside manner. I trust her and the team’s expertise and truly appreciate that they meet us where we are especially as our pups enter their golden years. Even when the office is busy they always take the time to answer all our questions and discuss everything thoroughly. I can’t imagine our pups going anywhere else.

After researching vets that perform laser declaw surgery's. I found Oakley Square Animal Hospital. I'm from Indiana, north of Indianapolis so it's a 2 plus hour drive. After speaking with them and reading their reviews. I booked an appointment for my two new kittens. They performed the surgery's both on the same day. They explained the procedures and what to expect. They called and told me both surgery's were successful and they were OK. I returned the next day to pick them up. All the staff I encountered were friendly and professional. Both cats were fine, they did not seem to be in any discomfort. They were playing that evening and did not show any signs of pain or bleeding. I am very impressed with their service and care. Definitely worth the 8 hours on the road for my kittens to receive exceptional care. I would highly recommend Oakley Square for any services. They were great - I pre scheduled my new kitten with them as well. Thank you!!!!
