How to Save Money at Animal, Clinic, Of, Sturgeon, Bay.
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 can not say enough good about this Clinic. Had a bit of a rush and I am new to the area. They got me in right away. Then I got the bill - first time in my life I was pleasantly surprised by a vet bill! Very fair. Great care, great people — thank you

Very discussed

All the 5 star reviews I can agree with but when It counts they are not there for your animal. I have been with this vet with my 2 dogs for at least 5 years and every time its critical they turn you away. This last incident was it for me. My dog was having an extreme allergic reaction to medicine they prescribed for her. I called in the first day and they told me to give her Benadryl and monitor her. Her condition got much worse so called back the following day with my concerns and they said they would have the doctor call me back. Two minutes later the same lady calls me back and says if it gets worse take her to Green Bay. The doctor did not call me back nor have they ever, it’s always someone calling that has ZERO help, just if it gets worse take her to Green Bay. I asked if I could bring her in or if there was any other info considering they have been seeing her multiple times within a week span because of this and they said sorry we close in 20 minutes so we can’t help you. They are always so caring when you go in and really act like they love your animal but it’s all a front. When their time is up it’s up, you’re on your own to figure it out. I called Door County Veterinarian Associates and they were closed but still had someone taking calls. The associate asked a few questions about my dog and what’s going on and one minute late their doctor was on the phone with me. Talking me through possible options for treatment and what may be going on, this doctor was at a birthday party not at work and took that time and true care. This vet didn’t ask me for any info about myself, only cared about my dogs safety. That showed me the MAJOR difference between the two vets. Needless to say my dogs are no longer with Sturgeon Bay Vet Clinic. The dog is improving drastically from the advice of Door County Veterinarian Associates doctor that didn’t even know my name only cared about our family member and how to help her. Guess what, they show the same level of care and love for animals as the other but they also will take the time when it matters the most. Sturgeon Bay Veterinary Clinic cares about your animal when they are up to it and falls between their hours and not a minute more accept when they want a payment.

I'm extremely disappointed with the Animal Clinic. They have lost their personal touch. All calls are answered with voice mail and sometimes they still don't get the message that is left, medications are distributed via a box outside the door. I felt my concerns about our dog were not being addressed, that something more was wrong. They did accurately diagnose her thyroid issue but didn't seem concerned about her additional symptoms, which may be indicative of another condition. We have changed to another vet clinic.
