How to Save Money at Ellwood Park Animal Hospital
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 been taking our 2 cats here since they were kittens. The staff is kind, welcoming, and very helpful! When I brought my kittens for their first appointment they were in rough shape, and the office actually called me a few days later to ask how they were doing! They are very helpful, they make me feel safe that they won’t do anything that is unnecessary. My one cat actually seemed to enjoy his appointment today as he was making biscuits the entire time. I find the vets are very personable and you can tell they all really care about animals.

From front desk to nurses and doctors. This group of animal lovers is absolutely amazing. My baby kitty doesn’t have any fear of the vet and they love him up every time we go. They’re so helpful and kind! Thank you Ellwood.

I am so happy to have Ellwood Park as our Veterinary Team. The entire staff from reception, assistants, techs and vets have been so wonderful to us for every visit. They take all of our concerns very seriously and with open ears and compassion. They are fabulous with my reactive German Shepherd. Taking reactive dogs to the vet can be so stressful, but they are very mindful, accommodating and knowledgeable when it comes to handling stressed/reactive dogs. Highly recommend Ellwood Park for your Veterinary needs. We see Dr. Kelly O'Blenis, and we absolutely love her.

I have written this review four times in the last week and I have deleted it four times as well ..because five stars does not give enough credit to my friends that work at the Ellwood Park animal hospital …care and compassion that they gave to my gentle giant , to deal with a medical issue was over and beyond any other veterinary clinic that I have ever been to.. Dr Kelly has been Toryn’s Dr since we first brought him in for Vaccinations … Dr Kelly was on vacation so everyone else provided the best care and attention to him.. Well Toryn was in care I was meant to feel confident and relaxed… I give 10 STARS AND 100% Quality..
