How to Save Money at Northbrook Animal Clinic

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.

New patient with my German shepherd and am beyond happy with the staff and doctor! We had an emergency that needed to be checked out and they got us in immediately as a news patient and took the time to go over our options and the next step! Our dog is doing better and didn’t need the surgery another vet had suggested… thank you again for the care!!!

I don't know where I would be without Dr. Korfist. She has taken such good care of my 4 year-old dog through all of the unfortunate accidents. Emergency tooth break, emergency dog attack bite wound that abscessed, blew out both of her doggie ACLs, gastrointestinal distress/foreign body scares, and just general preventative care (and premedication protocols). She has given us great referrals for my dog's surgeries and will follow up with the surgery place to stay updated on my dog's condition and add any pertinent information to my pup's chart. Dr. Korfist is very professional and will tell you things in a straightforward and easy to understand manner which my partner and I really appreciate. You can also tell how much she cares about the animals and it's nice to feel like my pupper is in good hands there. Especially since the staff is so excellent too. I believe we had Bianca for our last appointment and she was very kind and thorough. I'm glad she asked about any changes because it shows they care and want to stay updated on my dog's current health. We usually have Jade too and she's the best. My dog actually gets the happy wiggles when she sees Jade even though it means she's getting nail trims or shots. Thank you all, you are truly the best! 💚

We had to put our beloved golden down this week. Dr Jones and his staff were so compassionate. It made the difficult decision loving and peaceful . We are so grateful for their care.

My puppy gets amazing care here. They'll let us know when we have to come in and are happy to deal with things by phone as needed. A real convenience. They're totally on top of everything! If it weren't for their reminder postcards, I wouldn't remember to bring my dog in so I'm really thankful for those, too.
