How to Save Money at Plainfield Veterinary 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.

My fur baby, Lexi gets her hair trimmed every 4-6 weeks. She use to be sedated to be easier to manage…. It was hard on her. Since she has been coming to Plainfield veterinary clinic, she no longer needs to be sedated and she can get a trim and style rather than a buzz…. She is a ten year old mix, Snoodle and just adorable. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to treat their fur baby with live to PVC….

We recently tried this veterinary clinic out for the first time. I was so hoping for better results. I feel like they have manipulated our wants and needs for our dogs to their advantage. Revolution is difficult to find but we did find it online and they are making it difficult to receive the prescription. If they really had our best interest and my dogs at heart, they wouldn’t make it difficult. I guess I don’t trust them and that’s really not a good Feeling to have for the veterinarian that takes care of your dogs.

My family has been coming here for years for our dogs, & I just started bringing my cat in. Easily one of the best veterinarian offices I’ve ever been to; they are thorough & caring for your babies like they’re their own!!! I appreciate the support & education they offer (they always tell you why they are doing something instead of leaving you in the dark), as well as telling me all the options available while not being pushy. They are honest about what is necessary. There are hard working & kind people at this office; the staff has always been helpful & caring for me and my little guy! Thank you all here at this vet office for always being transparent & kind!!!

My wife and I had to put down our family dog. Not an easy decision, we were a mess and the level of empathy, compassion, and thoughtfulness we got through the process cannot be understated. They felt like a part of our family grieving with us through the process. I cannot thank you enough, shows the level of character and passion the team has for our furry friends.

Last Days

You know they have this Vet clinics and hospital. I first went to the Animal hospital in Tinley Park By my house. The facility looks absolutely gorgeous from the outside. I called and went in today because my cat has difficulty breathing. I send my daughter in first because I had to find a park. I told her to ask them do they see Cats that's is having difficult breathing. The answer was no because it was a clinic. Plus they was empty no patients They need more vets that see animals in emergency situation like this. I had to drive way to Aurora who was filled packed and had a 4 hour wait no matter what condition the pet is in. Plus they charge you 300 before you can even get your pet seen plus other extra charges. If I had it I would have paid it. Unfortunately I dint have it so I went to Plainfield Il was seen right away. The Dr was fantastic and the price was very cheap and the whole staff was very nice to us and my cast Misty. I highly recommend. I went to the Orland Park Emergency Vet for my cat Dough who had the same symptoms bas Misty and they first tried to charge me 1200 just to get the cat seen. But I talked them down to 600. And they still wouldn't see Dough until I paid in full. They did the same thing as the Dr did in Plainfield gave me a prescription and I had to pay $600 just for that. Then when we got home Dough got sick again they told us to bring Dough back if he started breathing bad again and when we did they turned us away rudely and told us that dough will die that night and urge us to take the cat out of his miserable since I dint have over $2000 to let him m stay over night . I was also told if Dough stayed over night it's a good chance he will die. That was a month ago and so far dough is still with us
