How to Save Money at Wabash Valley 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.

I’m shocked at the horrible treatment we received from this place. My pup wasn’t feeling well and so I decided to call and make an appointment. Nope! They couldn’t care less and the soonest they could see him was months out. After begging for them to see him and them offering zero solution we called another vet, who OF COURSE saw him almost immediately. Guess what? HE HAD A HORRIBLE EAR ACHE IN BOTH EARS. What condition would my BEST FRIEND be in if I woulda waited 3 months for this horrible place to find the time!?!? They were probably hoping for it to get worse so they could suck more money out of me. The way the front desk spoke to me, with absolutely zero concern, assured me that I will NEVER return and I’m telling EVERYONE. People’s pets mean a lot to them! Act like you care or get outta the business. Shame on you animal hospital. SHAME.

My lab has gone there since he was born 18 mo. ago. I try to get him in to see the vet I think he has an ear infection or something is wrong .They informed me it would be two mo. before they would see him. I informed them he could die by then they seem heartless.I ask if they ever had emergency’s they said it would be two mo. I informed them We WOULD never be back . They did not care. I called brown they were so understanding and I got us appointment immediately.We all love our dogs take my advice do not take them to the animal hospital!!!

They saved our aussie pup's life. I'm forever thankful for everyone there. After an emergency trip to indy over the weekend we were told our aussie had a 25% chance of surving parvo. I brought him home at 2am with an iv and cathedar in place praying i would be able to find a local vet in the am if he survived the night... they worked us right in when NO ONE else would that morning. He was hospitalized for a few nights, still unsure if he would pull through. They kept us updated multiple times a day and nursed our baby boy back to health. Sure enough day #3 he had a total turnaround and got to come home on our son's 1st birthday. I will forever take all of my pets here. Thank you to all of the staff that we got to meet and helped bring Benny back home to us. He is back to his wild crazy self chasing the kids around thanks to you 🥰

We were enroute in our motorhome from California to Pennsylvania, when our little elderly Yorkie, Abbi, became very ill. It was very late in the day as we approached Terre Haute so my wife started calling Vets to see if we could be seen. Wabash Valley Animal Hospital was the only ones willing to squeeze us in. They were extremely helpful and caring but unfortunately little Abbi passed on. There is and will always be a very special place in Heaven for the Doctors and staff. Thank You

Just called to get my dog in for an ear infection. They would not see him, I was told they only have one doctor on staff and they are not excepting new patients. This is an animal hospital?????
