How to Save Money at Lane Veterinary - Elmhurst

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.

Very kind staff!! Was able to get an appointment the same day and exam was very thorough. Very sweet of them to offer various treats and toys for my dog at the appointment. Prices are reasonable for the area and a new vet. Would recommend Dr.O’Reilly 🙂

Really happy with this practice. I used to go to a practice in the city that always a bit crowded and bustling with animals (which tended to stress my cats out). Any time I step into this practice there is a calm energy and they greet me by name. I’ve had a great experience so far with Dr. Weber (she has performed dental surgery on one of my cats and done a wellness check-up on the other) and practice manager Erika has gone above and beyond to help track down medical records and information related to my cat’s allergy treatment and previous specialist visits.

Lane Veterinary in Hinsdale has an incredible team of veterinarians and support staff. I have known Dr. Baker the owner for over a decade and she has always provided the highest quality of veterinary care to patients. Highly recommend!

I’ll never take my little Zoey anywhere else. They came HIGHLY recommended from Hinsdale Humane Society and I can see why! Dr Weber and the entire team are truly amazing and so compassionate, friendly, professional, thorough, smart and just overall great people. It feels like you’re interacting with family ❤️ Everything was so clearly explained and they’re so happy to answer all of your questions. You don’t feel rushed out of there like I have felt at other vets where you feel like just another patient in a revolving door of patients. I cannot say enough good things about them! Thanks so much for everything you’re doing for me and all the other fur babies who come into your office ❤️
