How to Save Money at UrgentVet - Lakewood
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.

Wow!! What compassionate, fast, appropriate and effective care was provided to our 12 week old King Charles Spaniel puppy! Late night on a Saturday, after putting her to bed, she had somehow gotten her entire lower jaw stuck in the rods of her crate and she couldn’t free herself nor could we free her at home! It was awful! We took her crate and all to the UrgentVet -Lakewood. The entire staff was amazing. Their composure immediately calmed us down while the doctor quickly identified what was needed and effortlessly freed our little pup without trauma to her jaw or need for sedation. We were even shown recommendations for a safer crate type for her which we purchased that night. It has been perfect for her! We are so very grateful for the care our girl received and although we hope to never have a need to come back, if we do, I would not hesitate! ❤️🐶Thank you for your excellent and gracious care!! 10 x ⭐️! You won’t go wrong using UrgentVet for your fur baby!!

We brought our baby on a Sunday because she was not feeling well. This facility was super fast and clean. The tech and doctor Alex were so concerned with our baby and so friendly. We highly recommend them. I give it 10 stars

I brought my late Sasha into this location on Saturday for what I thought was a sprain. They made my kitty feel at ease with nature sounds and low lighting. They were able to run some tests on her and found out that she had bone cancer. The vet and tech were so kind and empathetic to the situation and treated my cat with such care and compassion. I was sent home with pain meds and some special foods. I am sad that as of Wednesday, Sasha had to be put down, but I am glad that there are kind and compassionate people at Urgent Vet to help our fur babies at all life stages. Thanks for the compassion and for helping Sasha in her last days.

Wow! I was so impressed by the service and level of care my dog received this evening. The staff (Suprina, Eric & Ashley) quickly took my puppy in and evaluated her and got her treated quickly. Due to their swift care and service we were able to avoid major surgery. I will return the next time one of my puppies need urgent vet care. What a great add to our neighborhood!
