How to Save Money at WVRC - Waukesha
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.

The staff was friendly, patient, and empathetic to our anxiety over our dog's injury even though we were probably behaving like helicopter parents. They got us into a room immediately and she was seen by the vet soon after. The vet took her time explaining all options for the best care and did not make the consultation feel rushed even though she had other patients to attend. Our questions and concerns were addressed. Our baby girl was resting and recovering at home within hours and our piece of mind about her well being was restored. Thank you WVRC Waukesha for top notch care!

WVRC has always provided great service to my family and beloved dogs. Even when I have been anxious in the middle of the night with the various ailments my dogs have gotten themselves into. They've always been there to help us quickly understand how to help our dogs feel better.

We came here after vet referral for a blood transfusion, but WVRC’s doctors found a critical condition in Pumpkin’s heart. After hours (yes…hours) of thinking, researching, discussing, crying, praying, & many questions answered by Dr Diana, we made the decision to put our sweet boy to sleep. We weren’t prepared in any way to say goodbye to Pumpkin. WVRC provided the most comforting, private room to spend Pumpkin’s last moments in. He had a happy tummy—they provided many treats! We had private moments with our boy before & after we said goodbye. We picked up Pumpkin’s memorial items a week later. The staff was so empathetic & kind to us! Every step of their process is well thought out & extremely centered around the needs of your pet & family. Meeting such lovely people in disheartening situations is how you know their heart. special thank you to Dr Diana!!! 🤍

All staff was wonderful! We have ALWAYS had a great experience here and we have been here numerous times over the years. Most recently our cat and last year our dog. Each visit was approached with concern not only for our pet, but for us as their owners. Thank you WVRC-Waukesha! 😊

We have used this clinic for treating a hot spot in 07/2020, TPLO surgery 02/2024, and now to diagnose liver failure. The staff is mostly kind and warm at a difficult time. I would have appreciated meeting with the provider to discuss findings from our most recent visit, rather than a phone call, but ALL of the providers have been kind and patient with answering questions and communicating the plan and cost. The provider we had the first visit on 1/18/25 evening was absolutely the best, compassionate and empathetic. She listened to my babbling. Each time I called, reception helped to make sure things were ready and we were seen quickly upon arrival. I am grateful to have this clinic available when needed.
