How to Save Money at UPS
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.

We were here yesterday and today with an injuried Nigerian Dwarf Goat and a pot belly piggy to be spayed. We initially called in over the labor day weekend holiday to discuss the injury to the scur and determine if the injury warented an emergency visit. Thankfully, we were able to schedule a non emergency visit. Since we were coming from Downers Grove all the way here, they allowed us to schedule the piggies spay at the same time. We are blown away at the level of excellence all around! From the emergency call and the ability to speak to a doctor and the front desk for scheduling. The student team of doctors and soon to be doctors and the surgeon. This facility is an incredible operation. Our large animal pets spent the night and were clearly well cared for and doted on by staff. Thank you for making a stressful time, an amazingly enriching experience! Kudos to the exceptional team that helped us yesterday and today!

The word colic haunts pretty much every horse owner especially when you learn surgery is the only option other than putting your horse down. The team at U of I Large Animal Clinic saved my 18 year old paint horse’s life. The surgeon Dr. Sara Gray, the residents, the staff and the students were absolutely amazing. My horse is a huge part of my life and my family and I couldn’t imagine life without him. Thanks to the wonderful people here, I don’t have to and I couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend this facility.
