How to Save Money at Packerland Veterinary Center
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.

Packerland vet is one of the best vets. We recently had to put down our elderly dog down and Packerland was the best during the hard time in our life. We have another animal that is handicap and Packerland is understanding / supportive / caring. One of our cats had to have emergency surgery and they did amazing with her. Packerland is more than a vets office and you can tell the difference from any other vets office in Green Bay. I would recommend this vet over any other vets office in Green Bay. Thank you for caring for Mitten, our late Romeo and Bay.

Very pleased with our first experience here! We moved here from out of state and finding a new vet is hard. They are welcoming and helpful! They were patient with transferring our pets' records and treated us and the animals with respect. Happy to have made the choice to trust them!

At the vet today for yearly check up, and while Tito didn’t want to get out of the car, once inside he calmed right down. Everyone is always so helpful and kind here. Very attentive staff. Thanks!

if you care about your pet & your wallet, stay far away from this place! my dog needed an acl repair & dr dunbar suggested the CBLO (the more expensive & extensive option of the 3 ways to repair an acl). we’re over a year past the surgery date & my dogs leg is absolutely mangled thanks to Dr Dunbar. i all but had to beg him to even see my dog post op, and of course he wrote it off as “fine”. So i took him for THREE other opinions, considering i already invested $10,000 total into this leg with packerland. ALL THREE other opinions agreed immediately before even taking x-rays that it wasn’t done properly or was over-corrected. They were all also very confused as to why a CBLO was done and not the “gold standard” TPLO… (now i know it was because packerland just wanted more money). So i take him back to packerland, and dr dunbar still refuses to admit anything’s wrong. Of course i transferred him to a new vet since Packerland doesn’t want to remedy the situation or even TRY to help!!! fast forward to now, and they are STILL AN ISSUE!!! They refuse to send records, which is illegal, causing my dog to get double vaccines due to lack of necessary records being transferred. Packerland truly only cares about the $$ and could care less about you and your pet after you pay. If your dog has a torn ACL & for whatever reason Packerland and Dr. Dunbar are your only option, i would recommend letting it be, because my dog is in way worse shape than before i brought him to this facility. There are plenty of other options in this area, just do your research beforehand unlike me! attached is a current photo of my dogs leg, which i think anyone can see it is NOT “fine”. You’d think Dr. Dunbar would’ve wanted to remedy this if he cared about pets, instead i’m back at square one, just about $10,000 poorer.

We had a cat with severe dental issues that was only four years old and we went to several vets and they wanted to put the cat down. We drove to Packerland vet clinic in Green Bay, Wi and they were able to work us in and check the cat. They then gave us options to save that cat while providing him a healthy and happy life. They were accurate on their cost and there services were fair. Their facility was immaculate and oraginozed and all the employees and vets were very personable and great to work with. If there is an option to save a pet, they will find it.
