How to Save Money at MedVet Chicago
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 unfortunately had to put my baby down today. As soon as you walk in you can tell they care. From the beginning to the end of the process I felt the kindness of the staff. They made it easy to go through this and more comfortable by providing a private room for us to say goodbye to our baby. Even while explaining the process and giving us time to say goodbye they were very understanding and showed us compassion. They gave us all the time we needed and ensured me my baby frodo would be in a better place. It was not easy to do but they also showed my baby some love before she passed and that's the type of empathy that I love when I go to vets. It meant a lot to me that through all this my baby was given all the love from me and the friendly staff here. Thank you for making a already hard task a little easier for me through the process.

Amazing service, caring doctors and staff. Every single person we came across was amazing. Our dog needed life saving surgery after another dog attacked him. Dr. Knox was wonderful at admission, Dr. Wyatt was an amazing surgeon, Dr. Pearson and Dr. Delgado were loving and caring critical care doctors. The ICU staff (Margaret, Autumn amd Molly) were taking care of our dog as if he were their own. We strongly recommend this place for any of your pets needs.

Took my 6 month old kitten here after waking up one morning and seeing a pin sticking out of her leg from a previous surgery, a very scary image. Rushed her to MedVet. They took her back almost immediately, made sure her vitals were good, they contacted the vet that did the surgery to get records, were honest about pricing and made sure to let me know before continuing with care. I was able to ask all the questions I needed. Everyone was very patient, kind and caring from the front desk to the triage nurse to the vet that saw her. They also take Care Credit which is big for me since vet bills can be expensive. Hopefully I won’t need to be back anytime soon but if I need to this is the emergency vet I would go to!

I cannot begin to explain my gratitude to the wonderful, caring, and compassion staff at MedVet. They gave my girl incredible care and explained everything to me clearly every step of the way. Yesterday was a rough day – for me and my cat – but it was so much better than it could have been, thanks to MedVet. ❤️🐾
