How to Save Money at Lacombe Pet 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’m the owner of the most amazing Maine coons in Canada and am very fortunate to have a vet like Dr. Sukhbir Nain. Dr. Nain and staff at Lacombe Pet clinic are an exceptional veterinarian staff who truly care about their patients. From the moment you walk in, the staff is warm, attentive, and professional. Dr. Nain takes the time to thoroughly explain diagnoses and treatment options, ensuring pet owners feel informed and comfortable. He has a gentle talent that puts even the most nervous animals at ease. Whether it’s a routine check-up or an emergency visit, his expertise and dedication shine through. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for top-notch veterinary care. -Lioubov Bezukh-

Dr. Ravi and his team are incredible! Highly recommended. They have great hours and are there when you have any questions or concerns about your pet. After a long battle with my dogs sickness there wasn't a moment when I felt I was dealing with it alone. Dr. Ravi and his team were always there to talk me through everything, even when he was in Animal emergency they called often to check up on him to see how he was doing, as well as recommended him to a specialist at Guardian for testing when we ran out of options here . He is finally on the mend and we are so grateful to have such a caring vet in our town. Thank you

Dr. Nain goes above and beyond for his patients. He diagnosed our 13 year old cat with diabetes last year. Our boy could not walk very well nor jump. A year later he's like a kitten again. Dr. Nain explained well how to check sugars and how to get the perfect curve for insulin levels. Our cat is not a fan of vets and Dr.Nain let us do phone check ups to eliminate stress on our boy. We highly recommend this pet clinic!!!
