How to Save Money at Bergman Veterinary Medical Center
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.

Dr. Moore takes great care of our pets. He's caring and honest and won't mislead you. I will continue to bring all my pets to him. I appreciate all of the office staff there as well. The girls are always on top of things and very personable.

I wanted to share a quick review of Bergman's. My daughter found these folks and has been taking her dogs here for a few years. As her little fur baby family has grown, her and my son-in-law now have 3 Shar Pei dogs, a Frenchie, a cat, and our own Chihuahuas have received excellent care. Their kindness, compassion, and bedside manner take the anxiety out of the visits. Over the last week alone my daughter had a freak accident with her newest addition to the family in which urgent knee surgery needed to be performed after a visit to an after hours emergency clinic. An estimate of over $5000 to complete in a Ft. Wayne animal clinic! My daughter gathered her thoughts after this scare, contacted Bergman's and shared what had happened. Surgery was scheduled and performed quickly, at a much more reasonable price, and the new pup is home and recovering nicely! I am happy to recommend the team at Bergman's to anyone looking for a partner in their fur baby care.

We've been taking our pets to Bergman's for years. Dr. Moore and Dr Murphy and all the staff are awesome and helpful! They go above and beyond most establishments. I Would and Will Highly recommend them to anyone!

They have taken care of my dogs and my granddogs and are always kind and caring. Recently one of my grandddogs fell off a bed and spent all day Saturday, on a holiday weekend at the emergency vet to find out he needed to have surgery. My daughter contacted Bergman after the holiday and they worked him in right away and did an amazing job! Not to mention I think their pricing is fair and affordable. Thank you Bergman, we appreciate you.

Had taken my dog there for over 10 years. Had no problems until Dr Murphy. A simple mix up by her receptionist was explained (I confirmed day/time of appointment, showed up on time, only to be told it was the next day, even though I confirmed on the phone) and she freaked out with attitude. I, being taken back by this, tried to diffuse the situation, and I just wanted my dog seen for what I called for. She is unprofessional, unstable, and I definitely would never take our four legged family member to them. Sad for the other two Vets on staff, because she is giving them a bad reputation. I have talked to others concerned about her behavior as well. Do NOT take your fur babies there!!! Editing to add: I did bring up my concerns to the doctor as well as the receptionist, but when you’re being attacked verbally, who else as a patient do you feel you can go to when the DOCTOR is acting like that? She left a wildly false report on my dog’s medical record. Others have clearly had issues with her attitude as well, if you look through the other reviews. There are others who I’ve heard bad reports of her, but are too scared to speak up, out of fear of not being able to get their dogs in with the other vets on staff. The fact that she is kept on payroll after so many complaints is wild. I would hope whom ever is in charge will take a long hard look as to the reputation she is putting on the business.
