How to Save Money at Lansdowne Veterinary 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.

I took my cat here last year. He was 16 and sick. I never had an elderly cat, so I didn't know how sick he was. My poor boy was on his last leg, and these people treated me with so much compassion. I had to let my baby go because he was suffering. I couldn't even bring myself to go to the front desk to pay. They took my card to the front desk for me and stayed with him because I wasn't strong enough to😔. I got him cremated, and they gave me fur and a paw print. My daughter was 1 years old when we got him. He was her best friend. RIP CAT! God bless the staff at this facility for all their work!

I just want to thank Dr. Meade for giving my bearded dragon such phenomenal care and for teaching me a thing or two about him that I didn’t know. I was so worried and they addressed all of my concerns. The whole office was so pleasant and professional and I’ll definitely be back for future pets / further lizard care

I come in for flea and heart worm meds. This is the second time this front desk has made this experience hard. The first time it was miscommunication. Today I wasn’t advised how long between treatments my daughters dog could go. I was not prepared for the fee . The female doctor says it’s “your responsibility to know” excuse me how would I know if NO ONE ever told me. I have never worked with this woman and hope to never encounter her again. The male doctor he is great! No more Saturday visits for me.

Dr. Wineburgh was great. Super friendly and really cares about animals. Very knowledgeable and walked me through what everything was, what it does, and how much it would cost. Superb service and is going to be my new neighborhood vet.
