How to Save Money at Clinton 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.

When our 12 year old golden Jake recently passed we were obviously heartbroken but Dr. Lauren Price was wonderful with us that day and we can't thank her enough for all she has done for our dogs over the years. World Class operation!!! R.I.P. Jake, you were 1 special boy, we miss you so much!

I am so glad to have found Clinton Veterinary Hospital! The staff and doctors are warm and welcoming and just great with my dog. Dr. Price was kind enough to squeeze my dog into their schedule today and he received great care as he has with Dr. Santanelli for his physical and other golden retriever mischief. I had a wonderful vet for years, then I moved and it took three tries with other veterinary practices to find CVH. It feels like coming home -awesome.

I trust my dogs in the hands of the Clinton Vets; they are my family and they deserve the best! Dr. Ciok has cared for my dogs for 15 years and has spent so much time educating me and caring for my pets. Dr. Cosgrove just did surgery on my dog and it went so successfully he was able to be ring bearer at my son's wedding! I spend very little time waiting, all the staff is so friendly and helpful - they take the time to treat my dogs with compassion and a high quality of care!

First practice we turn to when we need help with pets. Ashley and Dr. Ciok, who most recently helped us with Daisy's suspected kennel cough, combined the visit to complete annual physical planned for September. Efficient and considerate -- one visit instead of two. They and other staff are great working with Daisy, who tends to be somewhat skittish, especially with "tall males." We chose Clinton Veterinary Hospital because of their professional help and friendliness of all staff. We've been fully satisfied customers for 14-plus years -- glad to have found them after earlier experience with other practices that were less satisfying.

Dr Price is always so warm and caring! She listens to your concerns, and is so gentle with all of our animals! I love when we get to see her and get her advice you can feel it’s advice she would use herself.
