How to Save Money at Lancaster 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.

Getting 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.

They have been tending to the needs of my golden retrievers first several years. The staff is always very friendly and more importantly, with feelings regarding you and your loved one. Recently, I lost two Golden retrievers due to age. I can't tell you how that feels, but they understood the love I had for my little one's and the emotional challenges of those losses. The doctors and the staff, for me, are fantastic!

I love this vet for our cats! Dr. Greg made my cat so comfortable she was walking around the room with her tail up high! Dr Greg and Dr Leigh really care about your furry family members and treat them as their own! They actually take their time and listen to all of your concerns (even if it is a thousand questions because you are a crazy cat parent). The cost even isn't that high either! We are so happy we have such a fantastic and trustworthy vet. The vet techs are so amazing too!! You can tell everyone really cares about the fur babies! Absolutely amazing!

Lola and our family are so thankful and happy with the services Dr. Gallegos and his wonderful staff have provided. Our poor baby dog started having some kind of allergy problems and her whole body was red, itchy, painful and inflamed. She was miserable, Dr Gallegos prescribe the perfect therapy that quickly helped her get better. She is still having to take ongoing shampoo therapy but she is so happy and back to being her beautiful happy self. The staff and Dr Gallegos communicated with us constantly and were very polite, professional and attentive to the care of our baby. Price wise was worth every cent because of the quality care they provide.

vanessa the front receptionist has ZERO customer service. She rescheduled my appointment for today only for me to show up and got turned away saying that i didn’t have an appointment . I was explaining that she booked my appointment and i even missed a day of work to make it to my appointment and with zero consideration she kept denying she booked me an giving me a lot of unnecessary attitude! never once apologized or tried to accommodate the mistake on her behalf definitely not returning here

I picked this place based on all the good reviews and I’m really happy I did. Both receptionists I spoke with were very welcoming and thorough when answering my questions. The vet and assistants were also super helpful in going over what procedures they wanted to do and explaining possible medications. The best part was that I didn’t feel pressured by anyone and I didn’t feel ripped off or like they were suggesting things I didn’t need. In fact, they suggested that I wait on some things until after my upcoming move which made me so comfortable. Their prices are fair and very much worth the service you get. 10/10 would recommend Thank you for taking care of my Panda!
