How to Save Money at Laurentian Hills 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.

Doctor Weber is thorough and very considerate of her clients budgets. Never had a vet ask me if the price was ok with me, until she did. Also she recommended my cats to be on a reduced amount of food to keep them healthy. This was also a first for me. Very pleased with her services. My cats approve too. 😺

We took our German Shepard rescue dog to Amy after we got her. I am new to Waterloo so I didn’t have a vet there. Amy did a great job explaining everything as she examined her. I have had dogs all my life and been to many vets. This is by far the best veterinarian I’ve ever met. It’s easy to tell she cares about the animals and isn’t trying to up sell you on unnecessary procedures. I highly recommend this place 5 plus ⭐️

I had the pleasure of dealing with Amy and her staff over the last 2 weeks and the care and service I received was second to none. Not only did she save my bengals life, but she was absolutely incredible throughout the entire process. In a industry like this you often find those who seem like they are just in it for the money, and thats not the case with amy. The love and compassion she has for her customers, their animals and what she does for a living is amazing, and I’m so grateful to have found this place. Needless to say, i highly recommend them
