How to Save Money at Northeast 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.

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.

Here’s the deal, this clinic is the BEST veterinary practice I’ve ever taken a pet to. One of my friends suggested them after another vet in Kokomo manhandled my first dog during an exam for an ear infection. (She was a senior dog. Who does that?) I promptly switched her to Northeast Animal Clinic, and they treated her as if she were her own and even took care of me when that dog passed away. They give my current dog that same love and care and have since I adopted her a few years ago. I’ve recommended them to multiple people who have loved them as much as I do. They’re knowledgeable, friendly, and very respectful to everyone (animal and human) that comes in their doors. I moved out of county last year, and they still let me bring my dog to them. They also helped me to find a vet close to my home should I ever need one for emergencies. They have taken on care of my friend’s dog that has a lot of medical issues as well and work hard to make sure not only does she get expert medical care but that they also work as a team with my friend to treat her dog and do it quickly. I love everyone at the office, and so does my dog. If you need a vet in the area, give them a call. They’re literally the best.

I'm disheartened and vastly disappointed that I'm typing this review. Up until this point,I've always been pleased with the care and service NE has provided. Our family pets (8+ dogs and cats)have been patients with the clinic for the greater part of the last 20 years. My mother loves her dogs more than anything and has always made sure to provide the very best of the best for them. Our 15 year old poodle started experiencing some strange symptoms late Friday evening and we stayed with her around the clock making sure she was in fact okay and not in pain or distress. As you can imagine with any animal of that age it's painfully emotional to know your time with them is coming to an end. My mom trusts the Drs at the clinic and prefers to not have to go elsewhere for anything outside of a true emergency. We waited and called first thing this morning hoping and praying they would be able to fit our beloved pup in for what we were sure would be humane euthanasia. Unfortunately, upon calling we were told there just weren't any time slots open. My mom, (heartbroken) called to let me know that she didn't know what she was going to do, we had been so sure we could count on them like we always have in the years past. I called and spoke with the office just to make sure my mom had understood correctly, partially because I was in disbelief. She understood correctly, as did I. This post isn't to bash or say anything negative about the care received, it's much the opposite, in fact it's proof that the world just isn't what it used to be. After decades of appointments and vaccines and injuries and illness with our four legged family members, today I can truly say they have dropped the ball and let down not only our family but our pup as well. I truly thought they would help in any way they could and thought their compassion would be more than appointment times and availability, I do understand business is business and when you make exceptions for one it has to carry over. I guess I just expected more. I don't know that we will be able to return after today. I guess we will find out due to the fact we must see another vet. I'm thankful for the many years of service they provided for our family but, this just really has given me a change of heart.

Highly recommend. This are the most kind, caring knowledgeable staff. They went the extra mile with us & our dog that had terminal cancer allowing us all the time we needed with him, & options available. We've also taken our cat there, they always give an excellent exam, diagnosis & treatment while keeping cost in mind. They are military vet friendly also .

They were more than willing to help me when I couldn't get into another facility. Love and respect shown to Copper!
