How to Save Money at Lake Square Animal 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.

There is no way I could ever say enough good things about Dr. Gunderson and his staff! Dr. Gunderson was our baby girl Bella's (she was an English bulldog) doctor and he always took such good care of her. Everyone was so good with her, caring, loving and we just loved taking her there and new she would be taken care of properly, especially because of her breed. The cost of the services / medications I believe to be very fair, especially for the top-quality services they provide and the knowledge of the doctor and staff. Sadly, we lost Bella a few years ago and we miss her so much every day! Dr. Gunderson's office was so compassionate and helpful that it meant the world to us. If you are looking for a wonderful, loving, compassionate and well-maintained veterinary office that will take care of your fur babies like one of their own, then this is the place you are looking for. No greater staff and they will become like family!

Unfortunately our first experience with Dr. Gunderson and staff was to say goodbye to our German Shepherd. We were devastated when we walked in the door, but the entire staff wrapped us in a warm blanket of compassion. caring, and understanding that I've never seen from ANY medical practice (veterinary or human). They made a terrible day bearable and I can never thank them enough for their kindness and caring.

We had a sick 10 week old Golden that we just adopted during the holidays. Jo Ann was gracious to get Isla in and Dr. Gunderson took his valuable time to examine our lil pup. He taught me how to care for her as she grows. He's gentle, calm, and kind. So is his staff (Roberta and Rachel). Thank You!
