How to Save Money at Chappelle Small Animal Hospital PC

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.

This place is so amazing! These people are so friendly, happy and kind. I took my cat in and had my two babies with me and they treated us all so well. They grabbed crayons for my kids and offered to help with the cat carrier. A lot of places treat you poorly because you have kids with you. The confidence and knowledge of the vets here make you feel right away you are in the right place. This place was so helpful and kind to my cat and addressed all of our concerns about our cat. The pricing is absolutely fair and parking is a breeze. Good people make good places! Thanks for helping us with our cat! We look forward to doing business for all of our animal needs/health here.

I just want to say thank you to all the office workers,nurses and doctors at Chappell animal clinic for taking care and looking out for our German shepherd Rex for 8 years. As well, I am extremely appreciative for warm words said to my family when Rex passed away.

This is by far the BEST vet/hospital I've ever been to. I've only used 6 in my life from WI to ID to CO and Chappelle is my favorite bar none. The doctors perform surgery and it's done very well, very cleanly, it's high quality work from what I've seen on my dog. Obviously, it's not only doctors performing work, they have assistance from their staff and so this speaks to the doctors and their staff at this business, they really take pride in doing their job extremely well. All the staff is always very friendly too. The front desk staff, the vet tech staff, all of them are amazing. We drive 40 minutes and pass many other veterinarians to take our dog here just because we love it so much. We've considered going elsewhere that is closer, but, after discussing it, we're just so happy with the service we receive from Chappelle. Thank you to Chappelle for always taking such great care of our furry 4-legged family member!

I couldn’t ask for a better clinic to be able to take my dogs to. Both the staff and clinicians are exceptional. In a difficult industry, they’re still compassionate and communicative and my dogs actually enjoy walking in the door of the clinic! I especially enjoy the updates if I ever have to leave one of the dogs for the day. It means a lot- thank you, Chappelle!

THIS is how veterinary care should be!! Beautiful campus with plenty of room to roam a little pre-appointment to do business and schnoofel all the smells. Efficient check-in process and very little wait time to be seen. Staff was friendly and went above and beyond to make the availability and appointment setting a breeze! Vet tech was personable and made the process comfortable. Veterinarian came to us in the exam room and was very friendly. She was down to earth, very knowledgeable, answered all our questions, and completed a thorough exam. I highly recommend Chappelle Small Animal Hospital and will return if/whenever needed. Thank you for a great, no sales pitch experience!!
