How to Save Money at Lake Street 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.
Reviews from Google
I started coming to Lake Street Animal Hospital when I followed my amazingly wonderful groomer, Molly, after Jimminy Clippers had closed. First off, the staff at LSAH is so kind every single time I drop my boys off for a groom. I haven't had much interaction with their staff outside of the ladies at the front desk, but, they are always so welcoming and kind. So I can only imagine the rest of the staff is the same way! : ) But, Miss Molly, I can't say enough about this woman right here, SIMPLY THE BEST EVER!! I drive roughly 25 minutes one way to LSAH and I would follow her wherever she was grooming from!! She has treated my fur babies like family since day one. She has been grooming my 3 dogs (well now 2, Bella crossed the rainbow bridge July 2022) for many years. One of my senior dogs, Bella (Pomeranian), required extra care because she would twitch a lot and her little peanut head was crooked from several strokes. Bella would get sleepy easily and Molly would do anything to make sure she was comfortable. Including grooming her from her lap and taking as many breaks as she needed to when Bella's health issues were flaring up. Bella would literally fall asleep in her lap because she was so comfortable with Molly. Talk about treating fur babies as her own family.

This review is on Lake Street’s groomer. One word…AWESOME! If you’re looking for a professional caring consistent groomer, Molly is the one. Molly has been our one and only groomer for years just for that reason. We can’t say enough good about her. The care and love she has given our yorkies is truly appreciated. We can count on a consistent experience every time. We highly suggest booking an appointment and do it quickly because she books up fast.

Dr. Jeremy Caseltine Is THE BEST!! We’ve seen him twice and had a great experience each time. The staff is super friendly. We’ve never had a bad experience there.

Always a pleasant experience, short wait times, friendly front office staff, great vets, great communication through email and text messages. We love Dr. VanDerWal, but had a great experience with other vets as well. Highly recommend Lake Street Animal Hospital!
