How to Save Money at Minooka Animal Hospital
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.

Great people and vets to take care of your animals. Thank you so much for all you do everyday; and thank you all for being so kind when my cat went missing and was found with some injuries. My animals feel so comfortable and safe with all the people there. 💝

I have a senior dog that has been a patient with Minooka Animal Hospital for the past 14 years. Dr. Tourville and Dr. Simon have always been so patient with me and nurturing to my furry friend. As he is aging and life is getting more challenging for him, they are providing me with the comfort and emotional support that we both require to adapt to his changing needs.

The most caring group of people you will ever have interactions with. I love Dr. Therese Simon—so empathic, patient and knowledgeable. She takes all the time you need with her and answers all of your questions and concerns. Takes time with your pet and does not rush to make all feel comfortable. Evaluations and tests are done in the examining rooms. I have been seeing her and her staff for over 7years—I have a reactive dog and they make sure the waiting room is clear before and after I arrive to make my dog comfortable in the setting. I drive over 30 minutes to go to her hospital. The online pharmacy is also super convenient. Pricing is in the ball park. A++++

Glad I came here with my old lady, Sunshine. The Doc I saw was wonderful and her experience and knowledge is apparent. The lovely ladies at the front desk were polite and welcoming. Thank you Minooka I know where the rest of my kitties will come.
