How to Save Money at Vondra Veterinary 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.

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.

During Covid they started doing drive ups no biggie, pull up drop your dog and they take care of it. You wait in the car, but something seemed off about this place. The last time I took my dog in I called and asked that I wanted to come in, and the reception lady got all stuck up about it. She said “it’s not necessary” but I insisted. When I got there the gentleman that came up to my car door said “wait I’ll let them know your coming in” why, idk? Anyhow, I go in there and all staff is standing in the front door just starring at my two dogs and me. Awkward! They just pointed and told me to go wait in the room straight ahead so I did, and the gentlemen that came up to my car door, came in room. But it seemed like he had switched up his attitude. He was rude af he took the leash of my hand and started man handling my dog, and my dog got scared and ran to corner where he was shaking. I instantly told him to “stop what are you doing” that’s when I knew this place was not it! Eventually the vet lady came in but she was in a mood as well. Didn’t answer any of questions I had, and everything she said was with an attitude. This PLACE IS NOT IT PEOPLE! My lady keeps insisting we go back cause there “good”. Personally me I’m not going back where people are rude. I was told by another person to go in cause he had the same experience, but I wanted to witness for myself cause I trusted these vets at the beginning when they did drop offs. Super disappointed on how they treat animals and people there! DONT LET YOUR ANIMAL ALONE IN THERE

Dr. Vondra has been taking care of my little Coco for 16 years since she was a puppy. His compassion, kindness and calm energy are unmatched. He has a special gift and I am so grateful to him and his practice, for their care and immense compassion. Exceptional care of our pets which are part of our family. Thank you, Dr. Vondra.

We have been to Vondra twice now and we are so happy they were recommended for us to start taking our fur baby to. They have been very attentive and listened to all of our concerns. They really care about their patients and it shows in how they interact. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!

Nice place, very helpful people, they come out to your vehicle and pick up your pet then return your pet to the vehicle when they're done. It works out very nice not having to control your pet around other pets in a small waiting room. They take care of everything from emergency care to nail trimming and bathing. Always call ahead first. will continue to go for years to come with all of our pets
