How to Save Money at Crossroads Veterinary 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.

Very professional staff on an extremely difficult day. Thank you for doing everything possible to make my dog atme as comfortable as possible for his passing.

I would recommend them for their compassion and professionalism, but be aware of the fees. First off, all the staff were very compassionate as we had to put our little girl down. A Shitzu/Yorkie, she was only 9lbs by that day and 17.5 years old, but she had a great life. I am very grateful to them for that. However, I am not happy about the $60 exam fee I was charged (in addition to the $406 euthanasia/cremation charge). When I went to pick up her ashes, I tried to dispute the $60 fee (I was in no shape to do so the day we put her down), I was told the fee must stand. When I had called to ask if I could bring our girl in to be put down, they said yes, but they would have to do a "quality of life exam". I of course said, 'OK whatever you have to do". When we arrived, a tech asked why we thought she had to be put down and what had been going on the last few days and she took some notes. The Doc then came in and explained how the process would go. Before she was leaving the room, I asked "don't you have to do an exam?" She looked at me kinda funny and said she'd check her heart before and after applying the drugs. So no exam was done. Upon my dispute, I was told because they had not seen our little girl before, they reserved the right to say no to the euthanasia and that was what the $60 fee was for. Basically, an 'OK to euthanize fee'. This is crazy and not right by me. If an exam was needed/done - OK charge the fee. No exam - no fee in my book. This seems to me for $ only.

Everyone at Crossroads Veterinary Hospital has been so good to work with. My older dog has had a few issues since we made the long move to California. Their concern and obvious skill shines through at every visit. Very deserving of 5 stars.

My purebred giant rat terrier (35lb)was struggling with foxtails down deep in his ears. Anyway that's what I suspected. The doctor got those things out in like 10 seconds. Thank you so much Dr. Thank you so much staff you guys were all so friendly and so nice and I know it's not something you do all the time but you squeeze me in at the last minute on my day off. Your whole office is so clean and welcoming and very handy to be right next to the feed store so Turbo could get some treats right after his Veterinary experience LOL
