How to Save Money at Lakeview 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.

Dr Baxter and staff are amazing. Been going to them for all of my pet needs for 15 years with dozens of animals and I wouldn't consider going anywhere else. We've had a few sketchy situations over the years and Dr Baxter pulled everyone through each time. We love Lakeview.

Not a big fan of this vet. After a brief conversation she became pleasant, but I just don’t think “your dog is going to die soon” is the best thing to open a conversation with. I understand her point, my dog is a a bit overweight, and I am doing the work now and taking her advice to help with this problem. But by the end of the conversation I asked if there was plenty of time to help him lose the weight and become healthy again and she said “Oh yes, plenty of time.” So I really don’t understand the cold opener to the conversation. The other staff were fantastic, very friendly and I can see they really love the animals. But I dunno if she was having a bad day or what but the Dr was absolutely not very pleasant. At all. This was my first time here, I may try once more down the road, but I certainly would not recommend her to anyone else, personally. Also, one other note I tried to point out a couple other problems I wanted her to look at and she completely ignored me. She made a comment but did not even try to look at what I was talking about. This isn’t trying to be mean or criticize the place, it’s just my personal experience I thought I would share, after some thought.

There is so much value in having someone you trust love your animal as much as you do. Thank you Dr Baxter and team!

I do not know about their care, but I was talked down to twice by 2 dames who worked there. I was told to sit outside to fill out the paperwork. I was shouted at twice if I had an appointment (to which I did). Besides being a place for animal care they need the business of the animal owner ($) and that is no way to do it. Heck with them, there is no shortage of vets in this town. Shameful.
