How to Save on Veterinary Costs at 4 Paws Animal Hospital
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

You're not going to find a more incredible vet than Dr. Dona in the NW burbs of Chicago!! She's a no nonsense but sincere and well schooled vet. We gladly go out of our way to have her as our sole source of animal care. We discovered her thru her selfless and committed act of Spay and Stay for ferrel cats in Lake County. Our little 8yr old Mini was how we found 4Paws. We rescued Mini from the farm property I work at. Mini was wild and kept a far distance from humans at under 1yr old and was coughing. Trapping her was no small feat. Dr Dona treated her for a respiratory infection among all the other things she needed, including a chip id. Mini now enjoys a snuggly, safe life as a solely indoor cat thanks to Dr Dona's serious, wise recommendation to do so after expressing her joy that we were not going to return her to the farm. That's an option you have when you go thru the Spay and Stay organization. She and other selfless vets in Lake County are making a huge difference in the slowing down of ferrel pregnancies by spaying and treating wild cats and having you release them back outside to live the remainder of their lives without making more ferrell's. We've since taken in 2 brother kittens found on the side of the road who went thru the same program. We recommend Dr Dona to many friends and family for their own pets. Every one who's taken that recommendation have traded in their old vet for her. She's a no nonsense professional who knows her job well and helps with the hardest cases without breaking your bank. Fair and honest. Literally, goes out of her way to make sure your furr babies are taken care of. She's met us on the road several times to make sure we had the medicine we've needed for our pets. Thank you for your huge heart and incredible animal wisdom, Dr Dona! We love you!

I called 4 Paws Tuesday, April 24 with a concern for my dog, I have not heard back as of today, Friday, April 28. She has been to this vet prior for treatment. A call back would be nice at least. I ended up taking her to another vet and she received proper treatment. For an animal hospital, this is not recommended for responding to needs, or concerns.

Dr. Donna is amazing, we need more compassionate people like her. As for her spay/ neuter? Absolutely amazing! The incisions are so tiny and the dogs don't even seem to be affected by a long recovery

Dr. Donna was amazing. The front desk employee was nice. This was our first visit with Dr. Donna, she was recommended by my dog's groomer, Josie. And I'm so glad and thankful she sent me her way. I am very pleased with how my XO'S (dog) visit went and how helpful Dr. Donna was. My fiance is the one that went to the appt. But I know he's a good judge of character, and he said he felt good energy and said nothing but good things about 4PAWS. Thank you Dr. DONNA ! You will be seeing us soon with my daughter's kittens. You have new happy customers, that's for sure.

The staff here clearly doesn’t care. Plain and simple. The front desk staff is constantly changing and is never friendly. They never answer the phone or return voicemails. Just cause your prices are cheap, doesn’t mean you should act cheap.
