How to Save Money at Audubon Animal 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.

I’ve used Dr Linner for years. She is amazing with my dogs and really cares for them. She explains everything you need to know and makes it comfortable to ask questions about my pets. I recommend her in particular to anyone who is looking for an awesome vet.

They’re really rude and heartless. My puppy we thought broke her leg and appeared to be in pain so I drove over to Audubon because they wouldn’t answer their phone. Big mistake, they couldn’t have cared less. Told me to go all the way to Cheat Lake in a hateful way. Also seems like every time you go in there they act like they’ve never seen you before even though we have 4 dogs and a couple cats who are always in there. I ended up finding a good vet today though and they treated us really well and got the puppy taken care of. I’ll never go back to Audubon again. I will miss Dr Masset and Dr Knott but they should have fired those rude people a long time ago.

I’m a new patient to Audubon. My 13 year old dog had a couple seizure like episodes. I called to schedule an appt, they saw me within 3 hours. The whole staff was very friendly and welcoming when we arrived! Dr. Warner was absolutely amazing! She was friendly with my dog, explained everything to me in detail, & took all steps to check all my concerns. I would highly recommend her! We will be going back!

In my opinion they word upsells in a way to make the customer think it's required by law when in fact it's not. I understand it's a "business" but we will not go back there. Many other vets that care about the pets more than upsells.

We had our pittie there for a checkup and Lyme shot. She just took off with the girls and left her daddy sitting there. They trimmed her nails and did her shot. She loved everyone there. They make her feel so comfortable.
