How to Save Money at Kindler 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.

Got right in on time and everyone was phenomenal while working with my shy American Bully Junior…. He warmed up to them by the time we left they made him feel very loved!

I love this Veterinarian and all of the workers, they are wonderful people and my dog loves them so that tells me all I need to about them. They get you in and they are affordable.

I've been going to Kindler Animal Hospital since the late 80's when Dr. Kindler was there. Dr. Moore gives the same excellent services and compassion as Dr. Kindler in my opinion. The staff is always excellent and very knowledgeable. I look at it this way. If I wasn't happy with a doctor I was going to I'd find another one. Almost 40 years of going back to Kindler, that says something about their services.

Pricey but wow what a support cast! Really made the right decision by leaving my other vet. Thorough kind and professional! Would highly recommend!

Dr Moore has been our vet for at least 8 years and always been great however her new partner( Dr Schmid?)I cannot say the same for. Without knowing all of the facts she came out in the middle of a problem and decide I was not welcome at the clinic anymore. I will say I was upset and no doubt loud but she said she heard some one (me) yelling. No I was not. Regardless it does not matter if I was or not the fact is I am done there. In my opinion instead of trying to defuse the problem she made it much worse. So even if she had not told me not to go back I would not be going there.
