How to Save Money at Greely 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.

The Vet at this Clinic had USED TOOLS sitting around EVERYWHERE from OTHER PROCEDURES. EXTREMELY UNSANITARY!!! Not to mention.. even the VET HIMSELF had told us that… “my floors/space are NOT CLEAN & your dog can possibly DIE from stepping on it” the ladies at the front desk were even laughing… WHY WOULD YOU TELL US THAT OUR DOG CAN “DIE” due to YOUR FLOORS, not being CLEAN?! WHY WOULD YOU OFFER SERVICES KNOWING THAT YOUR AREA IS CLEARLY UNKEPT!? Not to mention, the even Vet deemed intoxicated… this is by far the most UNPROFESSIONAL CLINIC that I have ever walked in too, the VET HIMSELF even said… “I can lose my license over this” I would highly encourage everyone to refrain from bringing their Animal here. We had walked out due to the state that this place was in & the staffs treatment towards us in general… Not quite sure how it is even LEGAL for this Vet to have a LICENSE when it is that UNSANITARY/UNSAFE.

My family has always brought our pets to Dr. Straby and I couldn’t ask for anyone better! He took amazing care of my dog for her long 18 years and continues to do so for our other dogs and cats as well! Very knowledgeable, everyone on staff has a wealth of knowledge and resources to check out if they’re not 100% at the time. Over all great staff!
