How to Save Money at Animal Orthopedic 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.

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.

Our five month of old Doberman pincher puppy was limping and we took him to see his regular veterinarian. Within 3min of being seen by his regular veterinarian, we were told that our puppy definitely had a CCL tear and would need surgery. They wanted to take him back immediately and sedate him for X-rays and a CCL test. They also were saying he might need surgery that same day. It was all within a couple of minutes and overwhelming to say the least. We decided to get a second opinion from an Orthopedic specialist. We brought our puppy to Dr. Vogel and him and his team took X-rays, sat down with us and explained that our puppy did not have a CCL tear and showed us all of the X-rays as well as recommended an anti-inflammatory medication. Our puppy ended up having nothing wrong. Overall, you can tell Dr. Vogel cares about his patients and the puppies he sees. He took the time to sit down with us and go over everything as well as give us recommendations. It's great working with this veterinarian that truly cares! Definitely recommend this specialist animal Orthopedic center.

Best vet experience I ever had. Friendly staff, almost no waiting times, doctor listens to your concern and doesn't feel rushed. Super clean and new equipment. Pricy, but that's expected from a specialist. So far the first vet I can recommend to everybody without second thoughts.

Very friendly staff. The whole process is super efficient. It was (good)crazy to me that my dog could have a consult and surgery the same day! I'm very glad I trusted my dogs TPLO surgery to Animal Orthopedic Center.

Dr. Vogel and his team are wonderful! My then 8 week old pup broke her leg at night, and none of my local ERs were open to "non-emergencies". I was referred to Dr. Vogel and got in the next morning: surgery was done same day and we went home... a few weekly visits to make sure all was good, and she is perfect. Everyone on staff is kind and caring and goes over and above to ease worries: I appreciated the follow up calls to check on progress. As I say often, I hope I don't need them, but am grateful to know they exist when I do!

Dr. Vogel and all of the staff are fantastic!! Their expertise, kindness and caring makes the scary stuff less scary. If you are looking for the best, that go above and beyond, Animal Orthopedic Center is where you should take your fur kids!!! Their prices are very reasonable. The facility is warm and inviting, and the staff explain the estimate thoroughly, so you know what you will be paying, and how much rechecks and xrays will cost when you come back in. Great experience!!!
