How to Save Money at Shadow Lake 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.

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.

I've been using Shadow Lakes for 23 years and I always recommend them. They treat your pets as they would your own (yes, they have pets), and have convenient pricing arrangements for aging pets. In 2011, we had an aging dog that needed major surgery, including two blood transfusions with a slim survival chance. She not only survived but lived another two years. We have aging dogs again with arthritis, running like puppies thanks to Dr. Cooper's advice and the other great doctors on staff.

All 3 of my dogs go to Shadow Lakes Animal Hospital for their care The front office staff are friendly and knowledgeable and they make you feel like family. You can tell they love animals. Dr. Cooper always explains in detail any concerns he has regarding my dogs health. He addresses all of my concerns and gives me solutions and options so that I can make an informed decision. He and his staff really care about the animals and their families.

I Highly Recommend!!! What a great experience with Dr Cooper and the office staff. We are in Florida for the winter and our 11 year old lab had tumor that needed removed. I had so much trouble finding someone who could see him anytime soon let alone do the surgery and/or a lot of offices are not accepting new patients. I continued calling and was recommended Shadow Lake vet office. Sara The receptionist was so kind and so helpful. I had an appointment a few days later on a Friday and she said if they found they needed to do that surgery the doctor would change his schedule around for it. Arrived on Friday And it was decided he needed that surgery, and the doctor did the surgery in between other patients on Monday. Again I highly recommend!!!! Thank You Shadow Lake Animal Hospital .
