How to Save Money at Ebert 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.

Getting 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.

Don't go to this Vet, after siphoning around $400 total for all the test.( by the way i have to call them just to find out the result..no return call after the first call i didi).. All they found was a UTI. I was skeptical and went to other vet and found out my dog got a big amount sized stones on her bladder.. this vet place is a joke. Don't ever go to this place. They probably didn't even scanned my dog. It's a huge sized stone. How could you miss that after paying for all those test. Like the he'll they did a test. This is literally like a car dealership of Vets. Once they get your money, you're on your own.

My Maltese loves everyone in the office! They treat her like a celebrity every time she comes in, even when she screams and cries at them in the waiting room! You can tell, Dr. Shedan really cares about animals and he answers any questions I have and personally calls with any test results!

My cats and I love coming here! Both Dr. Shedan and Dr.Hradil were so gentle and patient with my cats, even when my one tried to hide in every spot imaginable :) Both kitties felt a little ill and they felt better immediately after leaving. The prices are also extremely fair and I would recommend coming here to take care of your fur babies.

As a small dog owner, a valid fear are large dogs not under control so I very much appreciated how mindful the receptionist was regarding incoming dogs versus dogs already in the waiting room. I did not have to wait long for my appointment time either. The doctor was kind and I never felt rushed. He was also mindful of my dog's physical cues given (fear) and remained calm and patient. The vet techs were friendly and upbeat and obviously loved dogs. I did think the nail trim fee was slightly high but that could just be standard veterinary office price and I've simply grown accustomed to the groomer's price instead. Even so, it saved me an extra trip. The doctor himself called me promptly the next day with my dog's test results (thyroid and also heartworm) which was a pleasant surprise. The online store is awesome, competitively priced, and ships directly to home. The staff was also knowledgeable regarding pet insurance and knew exactly what I needed in order to submit a claim (thank you!). I would love to see Saturday hours available so I'm not needing to schedule PTO in order to keep appointments. If Saturday hours were an option, I'd happily transfer over the rest of my pets' records and keep them all with Ebert Animal Hospital.

I love this vet! They are always good to both my pet and me. They give you prices up front so there's never any sticker shock.
