How to Save Money at The Critter Connection
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 girls here are absolutely wonderful. Brandy and another lady drove from the office all the way to Ransom KY just to cut my pigs 🐖 hoofs when we couldn't get no one else to even attempt it. Now she's my cats and dogs doctor and she is amazing with all of them and I have 6 cats and 5 dogs and they all love her.

My best Friend, Sissy, is a 110lb Rottweiler. I've had her for 10 years. Yeah in dog years she's getting old. From the start of being my bestie, I've always taken her to Logan animal hospital. Sissy has always had a problem with me doing anything to her toenails. Now, she has hip dysplasia causing her pain when she has to get into and out of the tub for a bath. She loves a bath otherwise cause she knows she gets her favorite treat afterwards, cheese. Since I've always taken her to Logan animal hospital for everything else. I recently asked them about helping us out. Happily they do all of that there too. Not to mention, they can better accommodate her there than I can. Recently, I took her for what I called "A Spa Day". I took her in at 8:15 in the morning. She was so excited to get there she knew where she was. She knew and loves all the people and they knew and loved her as well. It's like they were family. She remained there until 5 in the evening. They gave her a bath they trimmed her toes they gave her a flea pill for treatment and she got her boosters. After a day of excitement like that, she was still so excited when she saw me there to take her home. When we got into the truck, of course Sissy still got her treat of Kraft American cheese. Which was like the cherry on top of the day for her. How could you not like an animal hospital like that?
