How to Save Money at Lincoln 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 dogs aren't patients here, we had a little emergency this morning. Our girl stepped on barbed wire while on a hike in the woods. Lincoln Animal Hospital was the closest place to where we were hiking, I called them frantically, in a panic, and they took her right away, no questions asked, no referrals to another place, etc. I can't thank the staff and wonderful doctors enough for taking care of Lizzie the way they did in our time of need and I am absolutely grateful they helped her. Thankfully she was okay. I will always refer Dr. Greg to anyone who is in an emergency, or if you are looking for a vet to care for your fur babies. I am overwhelmed and grateful for the care and time they took out of their busy day to care for Lizzie. They treat you like family here, they truly care about the well being of your pets and for that, they will forever have my business. Thank you all again for everything 🐾❤️

From the first time we had to take Smoky in for an emergency visit, and then his first overnight to his subsequent return visit a week later, and his bladder surgery., Dr. Stryker was extremely compassionate and explained everything that was going to be done to the cat. After he had his surgery, and we were very distressed by the amount of blood that was coming from his tail because of the cone of shame, everyone in the office was very patient with me, who was just overwhelmed with having a sick cat, and not knowing exactly what to do. To his final visit to remove the cone of shame and check on his well-being again Dr. Stryker was fabulous and everyone in the office to the vet text Have been wonderful treating both the patient and the family. That’s why we have been clients since 1994.

I’ve been bringing my animals to this practice for over 25 years. Everyone is always very kind and loving toward my pets and the doctors and staff are very knowledgeable. I trust them to take the best care of my fur kids.

I have been going here for 10 years and they are absolutely amazing. Everyone who works there is very knowledgeable and friendly. I wouldn’t take my dog anywhere else! They always call to check in following non routine appointments, which I truly appreciate.

Dr. Stecker and Dr. Swierk are fantastic! I’m always impressed with how thorough their examinations are and the care they show to my dogs, both of which are large breeds that don’t love being at the vet. I know the office is busy, but they’re never rushed, they explain thoroughly, make thoughtful recommendations, and their office runs like a well oiled machine, thanks to their second-to-none techs and receptionists. I’m so glad I switched to Lincoln Animal Hospital from my previous vet!
