How to Save Money at Bay East 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.

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’m almost hesitant to leave a raving review for pure selfish reasons. I don’t want to share! 😉 Bay East has been amazing to me and my dogs for many years. They are knowledgeable, full of compassion, and always include you in the best decisions for your individual pet. Knowing that NO case is ever the same. They have held my hand, talked me off a ledge, never made me feel crazy, and even spoke frank with me when I requested it. You can’t beat a place that will laugh and cry with you all at the same time. Not only do they care about your pets, but, they care about you too. From the front to the back, I promise you will feel like you received quality care for your pet. And, if you don’t, I know they will do what they can (within reason) to make it right.

They have always been here for me and my fur buddies. The entire staff is kind, gentle and always respectful! Most recently I spoke on the phone with one of the doctors about a dog I do not even have yet. She was great, made a contact with UW Vet Care and they called me that same afternoon and set up a much needed appointment. Once again, they are the best, always! They are my go to place always. Thank you Bay East Animal Hospital!!

Definitely the best place to go. I'm new to the area, and very new to the pet care services in Green Bay and I searched high and low for the hospital with the best reviews and happy clientele. I'm grateful to go to a hospital where they are entirely transparent with the cost of procedures, and the health of my pet. The staff is friendly and courteous, and they have an excellent communications system. They truly want the best for my pet, and treat every one of my concerns with respect and knowledge. I never feel belittled or talked-down-to. I also really appreciate their ability to text & confirm appointments through messages! This works great for me as I'm busy during the day and often unable to call in with questions or to schedule an appointment. Thank you for all you do!
