How to Save Money at Lemmon Steve E DVM
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.

Dr Steve Lemmon is the best vet I have ever been to. He’s caring and compassionate. Treats you like family. Very knowledgeable. I made the mistake of taking my dog somewhere else first. That vet said my dog had a serious condition that would cost thousands. Took him to Dr Steve for a second opinion and it turned out it was only allergies. Been seeing him ever since.

My cat was very ill, this team provided her with the best in care. They were compassionate,gentle and very responsive to her. She is 14 years of age, I was so worried about her. The surgery went well and she is healing wonderfully. They have my sincere gratitude. Well worth the price. Thank you to Michael Lemmon,and his team !! Sharon Jensen

Horrible experience with Dr Lemmon and his office staff. Lacking in compassion, integrity and competence. In January, I had made an appointment to have surgery for my bulldog. Surgery was scheduled in March and confirmed the night before. The dog was NPO, and a catheter was put in on the morning of the day surgery was scheduled I did not hear from the office all day. My daughter tried calling during the day to see how our bulldog was doing but the secretary was rude and dismissive to her She said he ( the vet) "will show up when he shows up" I called at 3:00 that day to see how our dog had done with surgery surgery and to check when we could bring her home. . Turns out the "orthopedic “specialist" arrived at 2:30 but “didn’t have tools he needed” and surgery would have to be scheduled “some other time”— next available surgery slot being out 6 weeks . Dr Lemmon was unapologetic and offered to sell us some “more pain meds” for her since she was obviously limping and in pain. I investigated the situation and called Dr Dale Smiths office and found out that Dr Smith was actually never scheduled to go to Ogden Animal Hospital on that day. His assistant Debbie said she is in charge of his schedule and it was an error on the part of Ogden Animal Hospital Ogden Animal Hospital had misrepresented the truth ( that my dog was never on the surgery schedule for the day) and then billed me for it. I contacted Ogden Animal hospital and asked for them to refund the pre operative charges for the operative prep and catheter. They ignored my phone calls and e-mails. Not even the courtesy of a response. Ogden Animal Hospital had also charged an additional 200 for an exam done by a different vet that I had never heard of I and X-rays .. My husband is a surgeon and looked at the X-rays and commented that soft tissue injury will not show up on x rays When I picked up my poor dog from her “surgery appointment” she was shaking, scared and stressed for having spent the day in a cage NPO for NOTHING I have email proof, billing statements and phone records verifying all statements made in this review

Dr, Lemmon and his staff are the best I have ever encountered. They listen before making assumptions about the diagnosis. I would definitely recommend!!!
