How to Save Money at Critters Care,
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.

I adore Doctor Clark he is efficient, precise and is incredibly reasonably priced. Thank you for all you do doctor! You are an angel. He helped me with tooth removal on my senior yorkie, Niko and then again when my 21 yo kitty Lola needed a peaceful transition into heaven.

Dr. Clark is a blessing from God. Such a knowledgeable, friendly, caring gentleman. Have taken several animals to him and he is amazing!!! Don't trust any other vets I've been to. Would recommend Dr Clark to anyone. He doesn't care about the money. He cares about your animal. He will work with you on payment plans and pretty much anything. Best veterinary I've ever been to.

This "Dr" was highly recommended by my husband as he had taken care of his animals in the past. When our young German Shepherd fell ill this last weekend, my husband called on "Dr" Clark. After treatment and suggestions to "give him time to recover", our boy fell even more ill and we would call to be told "just give him more time and rest". He misdiagnosed and didn't properly assess our dogs condition. We couldn't wait any more as his suffering continued and took our boy to the Emergency Vet where he was diagnosed with Parvo and we lost him late that evening. Never again. If you need a vet, go anywhere else and don't lose your best friend as we did.

He was the only veterinarian to return my phone call when my dog was in labor early early in the morning. He knew how upset I was with the situation, and he swooped in took care of the issues. He is wonderful!

Believe me when I say if it were possible to give this absolute quack of a “veterinarian” 0 stars, I would. Our family dog fell ill this past week with what we believe to be parvo (we wouldn’t know for sure considering ”Dr” Clark did zero diagnostic procedures, didn’t even so much as test his urine, blood, feces, etc). Merely sent us on our way with random antibiotics and just seemed to hope for the best. Our dog has now passed this morning. He completely ignored our concerns and worries, telling us “just because he isnt getting better doesn’t mean he’s getting worse”. He is a negligent provider and seems primarily concerned with how he’ll be paid (though he says he works with patients on payment plans). PLEASE save yourself and your pet the trouble and find someone else. Anyone else. Dr Clark can rot in hell.
