How to Save Money at Campus Commons 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.

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.

My kitty Luna has been sick for a little while. I called around and Campus Commons was the first place I could find an opening within the same week. The staff there was super nice and so were the customers from the ones I saw. Dr. Patton was caring but also informative and realistic. She told me it didn’t look good for my sick kitty and that she was sorry to have to tell someone she just met something so sad. She still ran some tests the next few days, and let me know my options (and that it looked better after getting the results). I’m now looking into a specialist but Campus Commons will likely remain my primary care for Luna. Really glad I found this place!

Always great help and friendly staff. Top care for my cat going through major surgery. After care amazing as well since his recovery hasnt been perfect. Edit: this original post has been up the past 4 years and guess what? 3 more cats later I still com here! No matter where I live in the area, all my cats go here to Dr Patton and team. Everyone is amazing, caring, and hard working. I've been coming to this place for about 10 years now, through severe medical issues and minor checkups, and everything is always handled with care and respect for even the most difficult of my pets (and one is VERY difficult and they still love him). Go here for excellent care, communication, service, and beyond.

Dr. Patton and her entire staff are always so friendly and helpful. I have been coming here for over 20 years with a number of cats for service from routine to serious and wouldn't consider going anywhere else. They make you feel welcomed and respected.

Junior our boxer just loves the staff at Campus Commons Pet Hospital, he just gets so excited to go there. He is a happy healthy boxer; and our 4th dog to have received life long care from this pet hospital. That means we have been coming here for a very long time 25+ years now and we would not even consider receiving care from anywhere else. This place feels like home to us and all my dogs have been happy coming here. Thank you for the excellent care you provide our fur-babies.

As a local Dog Trainer I’m always working with vets. I’ve had five clients in the last year from this hospital and they all have amazing things to say.
