How to Save Money at Ellwood 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.

My Hannah boo loves going to the vet. Her favorite person is Dr Jones. She actually gets excited to get to see the whole staff. I have been going to them from when they first came to Ellwood and the only vets who would take on my 165 pound German shepherd wolf mix. This is a great bunch of people who care about what they are doing and patient with all the questions I have. My furbabies are very important to me and they are very kind to them and me.

Dr Maro is an outstanding Veterinarian. She is knowledgeable about traditional and non-traditional care and treatments and because of this, offers more options and choices when it comes to choosing treatments for animals. My dog is fear reactive and very nervous, however he feels safe and secure with Dr Maro and her staff. He loves going to the vet and this means as much to me as the care he receives while he is there. I often tease that he looks like he has been to the "puppy spa" after his doctors appointments! I also appreciate that she and her staff have always listened and are attentive to my concerns, taking my observations seriously and working with me to give my dog his best life. I recommend Dr Maro and her clinics to every animal lover I know. I'm very grateful that she is my dog's vet and I'm very grateful to know that he is in such good hands.

Been going to Chippewa and Ellwood for 7 years and 7 dogs. They have taken exceptional care of all our fur babies and helped us through many emergencies, health issues and heartaches. Thank you to the hard working staff and Veterinarians.

Dr. Anlu is VERY, VERY, good, and the staff is very friendly and nice. (I liked it better when you could be present during the exam, but I'm sure this takes more time.) They are very thorough, but that usually entails extensive testing, that maybe is not always necessary, and is extremely expensive, hence 4 stars instead of 5.
