How to Save Money at All Creatures 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.

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.

I got another cockatiel and needed the ID band cut off of her leg. My regular vet doesn't do birds and recommended them. I called and asked how much it would be to cut the band off and was told $52. Which seemed high. But I guess I could of done it. When I got there, not only did they actually not have the band cut off tool. They used a small pair of side cutters. But when I went to pay, it was $70. $55 for a vet visit and $15 just to cut the band off. I could of bought the pliers for under $40. At least she checked out health.

I'm astonished by how much they genuinely care for you and your pets. They really treat you like family. When my pet passed away, they sent a heartfelt card to me with messages and signatures from all the staff members, even though I cancelled my euthanasia due to my pet passing on her own at home. It wasn't even printed on, it was all handwritten. That was so incredibly touching to me.

Great staff and the veterinarian is the best! I take my rabbits here for routine check-ups and also had a 3 week old baby bunny emergency and they helped with no hesitation.

Took my dogs in for vaccines. All i asked for was vaccines and asked a question about a tooth extraction for one dog. I was talked to about and consented to the vaccinations, a nail trim for both dogs, and an additional panel to see if one dog was a candidate for anesthesia for a tooth extraction. I was charged for all the above stated as well as 2 exam fees ($57 /each), 2 fecal tests ($47 /each), and 2 more blood panels ($44 /each), none of which i asked for. I was also quoted at $10 /each for nail trims and was charged $25 /each. The blood panel i did consent to was quoted at $80 and i was charged $97 for it. All in all i was anticipating charges for vaccinations, nail trims, and one blood panel and was charged for much more. When i got to look at my bill at home i saw all of these additional charges that i was never asked about or consented to. When i called they were willing to remove the fecal tests but nothing more. Went home with a $568 bill when i had only asked for vaccines and one blood panel. Very shady that they aren’t transparent or at the very least even ask before doing something that they’re going to bill you for

Both our family and all of our pets LOVE All Creatures Animal Hospital!!! We have two dogs, a aging cat with a thyroid condition, and a bunny and they all receive the absolute best care I could imagine, provided with sincere love and affection by the staff and doctors, when we take them to All Creatures!!! I’ve had pets all my life, and have had experience with Vets all over the Mid-West and Florida. However, I’ve never found an animal hospital that I trust (and my animals love to visit! Truthfully, they do!) as much as All Creatures. ❤️ We will be customers for life with every pet we might ever have (especially since they do treat exotics and very few vets in this area do - but truthfully that is just a bonus).
