How to Save Money at Companion 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.

Getting 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. Regina is so caring and helpful. My dog was neutered and then needed surgery for an infection on his leg. She treated him like her own. My dog is also excited to go to see her when we walk in the door! So I know they treat him well there. The front desk receptionist in Chadron can get busy and flustered easily. Which may cause her to come off as rude or uncaring occasionally. But I would recommend this place to any animal owner! The locations in Crawford and Chadron are both great.

Okay. First off, the receptionist has horrible customer service. I had to "greet her" when I walked in. when I told her the situation of why I was interested in the medication for my dog. She just stared and asked me to have a seat. I asked about how long. She stated she had no idea how long I'd sit. I heard her leave and talk to what must have been the "vet" returned and asked why I didn't go to my original vet. The reason was my vet don't open on weekends and I informed her of that. She made a comment of "ooh we aren't either" mind you it's Saturday. When she returned for the 3rd time she came out and stated "ma'am i don't know she's on the phone" I told her it was fine and got up and left. Horrible customer service, no help at all, waste of my time. Travel to Sasse Animal Clinic best vet in the area.

Came to get my puppy his shots. I scheduled an appointment several weeks ahead of time for 4pm on the only day the vet will be there. I confirmed via text earlier that day, and that would have been a great moment for them to let me know if they were overbooked! I arrived on time for the appointment. Stood there for 10 minutes before they even acknowledged me. After 15 more minutes they finally offered me a place to sit. Ended up an hour and a half after my scheduled time and I'm pretty sure the walk-ins that arrived before were helped ahead of me! What is the point of scheduling an appointment if you're not going to be able to help me when you say you will? They didn't try to tell me it would be over an hour, and I had to call my wife and have her leave work early just so we could pick up my kids. Next time if there's a freaking wait that long, maybe let the customers know? Terribly unorganized, and not impressed. I'm thinking of switching to the vet in Rapid city instead of ever dealing with this poorly ran crapshow again. I would have gladly rescheduled if they made ANY attempt to let me know this was an issue. Still debating if I should give them another chance in 6 months when my dogs next shots are... first impressions in a small town are important and you failed.

Would love to rate 5 stars but the the older lady (Pam I believe is her name) that works reception is beyond rude everytime we've had any interaction with her. She's always inconvenienced when you call or even come in. She could learn a thing or two about customer service. Considering taking our pets else where where they actually value their customers. Which is unfortunate because the other staff is very friendly and helpful.
