How to Save Money at VCA Abri 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.

Fantastic experience---Professional--empathetic--had an emergency and they were the only vets that would see our pooch--Lola-- on the same day. "Sure we can see your pet." So kind and sweet--I called from parking lot---they checked me in over the phone--Allowed me to enter with mask-came out to get us...directed me to a chair 6ft away from examine table....also took care of retrieving my pooch's medical records --while I was there. and I remained 6ft away on a chair(already set up)...while the doctor provided a thorough examination--explaining and questioning as she completed the examine.In addition, the office was absolutely spotless. Prior to reaching out to Abri....I was completely disheartened calling around to vet after vet and being treated like they were doing me a favor by giving me an appt. 4 to 5 weeks out--or sending me to a hospital almost two hours away. Some had sick appointments but wouldn't see my pooch because I was not a regular (we recently moved here)--it just felt like something is really wrong with the way things are done today. Abri should be commended for giving care to whomever may need it...whether you are a regular patient-- or a pet in need. Thank you to the excellent staff at Abri Animal Hospital! Dr. Deissler--you are fantastic!

I have been bringing my fur babies to Dr. Robert Fitzpatrick for many years. He always takes the time to not only compassionately assess our fur babies health but he also goes above and beyond to fully research the current literature to assure best outcome treatment plan. Thank you Dr. Robert Fitzpatrick.

They are friendly and clearly care for my dog but as all vets are, they're expensive and they push as many tests as they can to pump up the bill as they also know we do what we have to for our pets! Then of course, they expect you to buy all additional medicines from their online store which is 30% more expensive than others online sites! Nail clipping the last 2-3 years has gone from $13, to $15, to $17, to $19, to $21 and finally the other day, $23.55! They have this thing about odd numbers? They don't even clip them that closely, in a week they need it again!

Dr. Fitzpatrick and his staff have taken excellent care of my lab for the last 12 years and I hope to continue to see them for some years to come with her. They are kind and gentle with my somewhat anxious pup. Dr. Fitzpatrick is very thorough and does not recommend any unnecessary treatments. I attribute their care of my dog to her great condition.
