How to Save Money at Glenroads Veterinary Clinic, A Thrive Pet Healthcare Partner
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 have been taking my senior dog, Carla, to Glenroads Veterinary Clinic for about a year and they have been very professional and thorough while taking care of her. Even during the pandemic, Dr. Flickinger has been available for all of Carla's needs whether it be by phone or in person. The support staff is amazing in communication and scheduling and they are so friendly and welcoming. Carla fell asleep for the last time recently, but when I have a pet in the future, I will certainly trust Glenroads Veterinary Clinic to take care of him or her.

I. Love. This. Place. I called to speak to their resident grooming queen Andrea because I was experiencing difficulty having Zeus groomed. I’d been calling all over the quad cities and Andrea was the ONLY person who took the time to actually ask questions and try to understand exactly what Zeus needed, she made sure I knew the cost of everything and was in contact with the veterinary side to get all my appointments lined up. She even squeezed us in to her crazy busy schedule. The veterinary side is amazing as well. All of the girls that work there were incredibly friendly both with me and with Zeus. It was an incredibly refreshing experience! the vet and all the vet techs were primarily focused on Zeus’s safety and comfort (which I know can be a challenge when dealing with a nervous 70 lb pit bull). I could cry I’m so happy with the service and love I received in visiting this place and I don’t think I could ever go anywhere else. Thank you all so much! Here’s a photo of my handsome boy after his bath!

We have gone to Glenroads for a few years now and safe to say they are the best. I have been to probably 20+ vets for various animals over my life and have never had such high quality care. I am a health care worker myself and have crazy high standards. Appointments are never rushed and they get a full history on your pet. If you are a regular patient and are having an emergency, they will get you in the same day, maybe even within an hour if urgent (for us once!) Their entire staff seems to really care and their receptionist, Arielle, treats you like family. Highly recommended!

We have been using Glenroads Veterinary Clinic for about 13 years now. They have taken quality care of our cats and golden retriever. They are kind and supportive when your pet is in distress. All the Doctors are knowledgeable and all the support staff are patient and helpful. Excellent service and a good value!

I had an awesome experience the very first time calling to schedule appointments for both my little dogs. The front desk was extremely friendly and professional. Dr. Flickinger was extremely professional, caring, gentle and informative about how we can together insure the best way to keep my boys healthy! M Weaver
