How to Save Money at CREST HILL CAT AND DOG

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.

The doctors are excellent. But one of the receptionist needs to be fired. I’ve been going for years with no issues but today when I brought in my two dogs she informed me that I missed my first appointment. They gave me an appointment for 10 and then 10:30. I arrived at 10:30 so I asked if I can just do the one dog and take the 10:30 appointment. She said No, that once I missed my 10 they gave my other appointment away. Makes no sense! Hopefully they get rid of her because the rest of the staff are great. Didn’t catch her name but I’ll Edit this when I find out.

I came from an all feline vet to the cat and dog vet. I was nervous about how my cats would react to having dogs near, but the cat room seems to be available for us to wait in which allows for a private area to let the cats destress prior to their exam. Steff is friendly and knowledgeable abd out vet listens well and addresses all my concerns.

Crest Hill Cat and Dog Clinic is the absolute best around. I am a first time dog owner and have lots of questions. The staff always answers my questions no matter how big or small the issue. My pup, Titan, got sick and they squeezed me in the same day. They provided the best care for him and are taking every step to figure out what’s going on with him. The staff has been so accommodating to make sure that my pet insurance has all the paperwork needed for my claim. I truly cannot say enough kind words about every single doctor, vet tech, front desk staff, etc in this practice. On top of amazing staff, the prices are reasonable. I am the utmost confidence in Crest Hill Cat and Dog Clinic.

I love this place. I take my 2 cats and my dog here. The staff is always so helpful and nice. They saved my cat's eyes with surgery that was cost-friendly. It would've normally cost over $2000! Highly recommend.

We adopted our dog from paws 4 rescue and we had her spayed here at Crest Hill. Everyone there was so pleasant and nice. Thank you for taking care of our baby girl.
