How to Save Money at Lake Mills Veterinary Clinic
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.

Trust is everything when it comes to quality vet care and never in 1000 years would I think we would find a vet clinic that was so accommodating and understanding of pets with different needs and not just take our money. Our pup Whiskey was a rescue with some behavioral issues that made us nervous on handing new situations. We had a family friend recommend that we chat with Mittsy, within 2 minutes of meeting she had started developing a plan on how to address our concerns and our pups fear, along with approaching future vet care. She developed a plan for numerous situations that we continued to learn and execute in the coming months. When I tell you that our pup loves coming to the vet now, or even working with the behavioralist I am not lying. We have since been able to do new introductions with our pup without issue and get him the best possible vet care. This clinic is 100% based on patient comfort and when I tell you our dog is comfortable coming here, I mean that. Forever grateful for Mittsy and Dr. Stork.

What a great place! Excellent facilities, excellent staff! Took our puppy in for her first visit. Dr. Stork explained so many things and answered all of our questions in detail. I left feeling confident in the care we will receive going forward. Our pets will be in great hands.

Lake Mills Veterinary Clinic is wonderful. The staff is always friendly, helpful, understanding, and compassionate. They have realistic expectations for how animals may act during appointments. They go the extra mile and reach out to see how your dog is doing the day after a procedure. They genuinely care for the fur babies! They also have "Happy Visits" which are intended to make your animal comfortable at the vet. At any time you can stop by the vet for free, get your animal weighed, let them take a look around, get treats, and feel more comfortable with the staff. My dog is excited to go to the vet for this reason!

You know they say if you don't feel comfortable, then move on to the next vet, but it was instant comfortable. The receptionist and nurses, and doctors are so nice and knowledgeable there. They have a different technique on handling your animal than other vets. This is the God honest truth, I HIGHLY recommend you go to the Lake Mills Veterinary clinic before you go anywhere else!! I'm from Fort Atkinson, and it's worth the drive knowing your pet is in good hands. They also know and understand and will work with you during our hard financial times. Just be honest with them as they are honest with you. Their responding time is remarkable. They also have an app for your phone for Android or Apple Iphone's that make things a lot easier and less stressful. Please take my word for this and call them up. Best wishes, comment if you like, tell me your experiences or if you have any questions. I don't work there but have been there a couple of times and may be able to answer some of your questions. Take care

We had a great experience from beginning to the end with Lake Mills Veterinary Clinic! Doctor Gregg Stephan did an amazing job in performing a surgery on our dog to remove a mammary gland tumor. We can't thank enough Dr.Stephan and his staff for their medical knowledge, caring and attentive attitude, business integrity and excellent customer service! We are highly recommending this place to anybody in need of veterinary care.
