How to Save Money at Indy’s Place Pet 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.

The friendliest care professionals I’ve ever known. Provided amazing end of life care for the last couple years of our older dog’s life, and are helping to keep our current kitties lives as fulfilling as possible. The atmosphere is always welcome and fear free for our pets, could not recommend them enough!

Super friendly staff & it genuinely shows how much they care about their clients. My wife & I have been treated like family every time we go with our puppy & couldn't be happier with them all. As a first time pet owner, I wouldn't go anywhere else. 10/10!

Dr. Goldfarb and the team at Indy's Place are the absolute best. We've had the best vet experience with them. Dr. Goldfarb is knowledgeable, patient, and caring. She really takes the time to learn about our pets and discuss suggested care. The fear-free approach was fantastic and exactly what our anxious cat needed. Can't recommend Indy's Place enough.

A great vet, our puppy had a good experience on her first visit. She played with a lot of toys and even found her new favorite targets - bubbles and I think she didn’t even realized she got two shots ;). We asked tons of questions and Dr. is so patient and gave so much care and love for our puppy. 5 star deserved!

This is my dog’s favorite place. My two and half year Shiba KK loves Dr. Goldfarb and Dr. Kerem. He has been enjoying the cuddles, kisses, toys and treats there since he was brought in first time at four months. Over the last two years, all examinations, procedures and treatments went well and we are so glad these were such positive experiences for my dog. I would definitely recommend Indy’s Place for their highly professional services, love to pets and timely help to pets’ parents.
