How to Save Money at Burlington Pet 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 have been going to Burlington Pet Hospital for 20 years. The doctors, Ben and Yvonne Kordenbrock, are the absolute best! Always patient, never rushes me out of the exam room until all my questions and concerns have been addressed. Very knowledgeable, compassionate and truly kind individuals. I recently had to put my 16 year old cat to rest. Mr. Kordenbrock made the most difficult situation easier for me by his explanation of what was happening, how it will happen and what to expect as Buddy breathed his last breath. The office staff coordinated the cremation and called us when the cremains were ready for pick-up. The doctors and staff sent a signed card expressing sympathy for my loss and made a donation in Buddy's name to a veterinary college. These small acts of kindness is but one example of the kind of doctors, kind of humans, they are. I will not trust my animals to anyone but these two excellent doctors. I want the best care for my dog, Bart and they deliver quality care every.single.time! Also, Bart doesn't mind going to the vet - He knows the doctor will give me a healthy snack while he is being examined. The cost for flea and tick medicine is at their cost - So there is no need for me to shop anywhere online, or in-store for a cheaper alternative. The office staff is always pleasant, always helpful, always friendly. They are very organized and greets my dog by his name. Here is Bart. He's happy to meet you.

Been taking our dogs here for more than 15 years. Our newest pup just had a successful spay. I attribute her quick and uneventful recovery to the team at Burlington Pet Hospital.

We have been bringing our dogs to Dr. Kordenbrock and Burlington Pet Hospital for 30 years now. Have always been treated with kindness, respect, and patience. They take their time when explaining diagnosis and treatments, and answers all our questions. When 2 of our dogs passed away of old age, they showed us great compassion. We will never take our pets anywhere else.

My first visit, staff was so friendly and helpful! And although I could only speak with the vet via phone, he explained everything going on with my pet! And topping on the cake? Great prices, felt like I could provide my pet with great care and not have to empty my account!! Highly recommended! My new vet!
