How to Save Money at Tree House Veterinary Wellness Center

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.

Getting 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.

As much as I wanted to keep my five-star review, it's been over two weeks and at least three emails of me asking about dog registration. I got no response. What's peculiar is I paid for the three-year rabies shot for my dog, and when I got the paperwork, I wasn't even told that the tag was taped to the paperwork. It was just handed over after I paid. I circled back after walking a block, thinking I forgot it. That's when I was told to flip to the last page. I still thought everything was great and left happy. (I do think someone should've told me where the tag was though.) But then I took off my dog's tag to put on the new one and realized there was no sticker on the back. I wasn't quite sure whether it was my responsibility to contact the city for a sticker or was that included in the rabies shot cost. So I emailed. No response. Emailed again. No response. Oddly, the team reached out to approve a heartworm medication I needed, which was an email I sent AFTER the tag query. I left a voicemail. No response. I called. I was told someone would call me back. This is entirely too much trouble over a sticker. I logged into the City of Chicago site and just paid for the dog registration. I'm not going to keep contacting Tree House to ask them this question. It's peculiar because they usually answer so fast (at least within a couple of days). Why this question in particular is taking so long is weird. My dog has her vaccines and prescription, so I won't be back this year. Still, I wish I could've kept their five-star review. ---------------- Last year, I enjoyed my interaction with the onsite vet Isabelle Pajak. This time around, it was Lilly Johnson. Both of them are warm, friendly, patient with questions and my dog didn't put up a fuss around them. I patted myself on the back when Lilly complimented my dog's teeth. I try to make sure they're in good shape at all times. Great that she noticed. And my dog has the memory of an elephant. She was smitten with Natalie (vet assistant may be her title) last year, who leaned over to pet her and give her a treat. And she was on her hind legs within seconds of arriving this year, looking around and yelping. I thought she was upset because the treat jar was empty. Turns out she was looking for Natalie again, and yanked my arm when Natalie came through the hallway to greet me. Although I still don't understand why I can't come in the examination room when they give my dog the shots, I'm also the same person who hid my face in my shirt when my regular vet has done it in the past. (This place is much cheaper when it comes to shots and heartworm tests, so I go here for WAY more reasonable prices.) So I can't quite fuss over something I'm going to avert eye contact with anyway. I also like that the Customer Service replies (often Em or Natalie) read any queries in full and answer them directly. Too often, Customer Service responses read like FAQ copy-and-pastes, but these two actually read what I ask on the few occasions I've emailed them. And Tree House is very efficient and quick about running heartworm tests, approving prescriptions and responding to the third-party site that ships them. I compliment this place all the time.

Tree house took such great care of my 1 year old cat Fluffy for her spay surgery. The incision was small and clean and my cat came home happy and comfortable thanks to the medication they gave her prior to her discharge. This is an experience unique to Tree House because other spay services my other cats have received had large, painful incision sites and less compassionate pain management. I’m so grateful for these services and even more grateful that they could be offered at an affordable cost.

I took my 2 rescue kittens here and the staff did a great job making them feel safe and getting them the care they needed! They’re now all up to date on shots as well as being spayed/neutered and they’re happy and healthy. Quality care at affordable prices. We had such a positive experience here!

Very friendly and professional staff. I've had three cats spaded/neutered there and never had any issues. My cat was up and running around within 5 hours like it never happened. Same-day drop-off and pick-up so that you're loved one can recover in the comforter they're own home. Thank you Treehouse.

I can't say enough good things about Tree House! I recently brought my dog here for neutering and vaccinations, and the experience was exceptional. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making both me and my pup feel at ease. After the visit, my dog was happy and healthy, which speaks volumes about the care he received. They took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure as well as the aftercare, which I truly appreciated. The facility was impeccably clean, and I’m thrilled to report that my pup has had no issues following his surgery. Plus, the prices for the vaccinations and surgery were very reasonable. I will absolutely be bringing my pup back to Tree House for any future needs! Highly recommend this place to any pet owner!
