How to Save Money at Lowell 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.

Love that this hospital is walk in based and that I can check in on the app to minimize in lobby wait times. All the Dr.'s are compassionate and listen to my concerns with my pet. The new building with the drive through pharmacy pick up window is perfect to swing on by and pick up my pets meds and/or preventatives. We will be a life long clients. Thank you LAH 🤍🐾

They got me through the deaths of my boys and now they are amazing with my troubled rescues! I cannot say enough about them! Most of their staff is amazing. The girls in front are the very best. They are so busy and handle it like champs! And I love the vets I've seen!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Lowell Animal Hospital. Dr. Wise and all of the staff were incredibly compassionate when we had to put our 17 year old dog down. Even though he was so old, we were not expecting to have to do it the day we went in, but Dr. Wise definitely made me feel like I was doing the right thing for him. I had both my two and three year-old toddlers with me, and their staff made it a very beautiful experience for all of us. They brought in chocolate raisinets and other treats to feed him while we said goodbye, and when it came time to put him down, one of the techs came in to help them make goodbye letters to distract them from what was going on. They gave us a little bottle with a bit of his fur and recently sent a very sweet condolence letter. The care we received was amazing and I recommend them without reservation.

It's a long story, and it still bothers me on how we were treated. It's good to have insight on what really goes on. Just wanted to let you know I had an appointment with another vet due to my days of work but cancelled it because I wanted to be faithful to Lowell Animal Clinic, and this is how they treated us. I called, and I was told I couldn't get my 3 dogs nails cut unless they had another procedure done because the issue needed to be more serious due to covid , It's been over 8 months, and their nails were growing into their pads. I can't do it. So I said what procedure? She suggested getting their anal glands checked. I said, "You need to stick your finger up my 3 dogs butt so they can get their nails cut because of covid? How ridiculous. After talking about it, she said: never mind, just come in and mention that it's curb side. No problem. I arrived there, and a tech approached me at my car to get dog number 1. Then they had just finished dog number 2, and suddenly, a doctor came out storming, yelling at me for being here. I explained that the receptionist said to come in, and they had already finished 2 dogs. I said I wouldn't be in your parking lot nor would they have finished 2 dogs already if i didn't have a phone call appointment. My son and I just looked at each other in shock. I told the doctor again that I was told to come in or I would be sitting here, and they wouldn't have already taken care of 2 of my dogs. Still puzzled at all of this, I was handed my 3 pups medical records and was dismissed forever after they finished my 3rd dogs nails. I believe the receptionist made a mistake and was looking out for herself and blamed me for being there. The other vet said there was no such rule because of Covid. I still can't understand why they served 2 pups with smiles, and then the staff turned into monsters. So! Everyone, keep paying for that new building. I found a doctor who really cares.

LAH staff & Doctors have always listened & discussed our dogs needs & concerns all the time anytime. The dogs were comfortable coming in & always greeted. We had 1 dog that has seizures that they monitored & led us in the right place (Purdue) for further testings. She is being takin care of with meds. The other dog had a lump on throat they biopsied & will be further evaluated at this time. However, the Doctors would call & advise of what would need to be done in the best nature of the dog. I have nothing but praise for them all!! I have referred them before in an emergency situation that they saved the life of a small dog chocking. She is doing fine as well!! So that being said LAH is great for your animals & the best bedside manner!!
