How to Save Money at Campus Estates 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.

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.

When I moved to Guelph for school one of my first concerns was ensuring that I had a clinic experienced with exotics to bring my bearded dragon, Frankie, to. From the first time I took him there, I knew that Campus Estates was the perfect spot. I always left appointments feeling confident in the advice or treatment plan given to me. The whole team there is absolutely amazing. Dr. Alec Brown, in particular, always handled Frankie so gently and respectfully. I can tell he does a lot of research in his own time to better his patients. Frankie ran into some complications recently and we had to say goodbye to him. The whole team at CEAH handled the situation so kindly and I will never forget it. When the time comes that I’m ready to open my heart to another lizard, I’ll gladly take them to Campus Estates. I’m proud to recommend this clinic to any other exotic pet owners. The whole team is truly amazing.

Simply the best…better than all the rest! Best veterinary clinic in the area, with the best veterinary care, and the best staff! After being let down by our previous vet in Cambridge, we were welcomed with open hearts & arms by the entire team at Campus Estates Animal Hospital! A special shout out to Dr. Jess…she is FABULOUS!!! She exceeded our expectations by taking time out of her busy schedule to research the best treatment for our Nya, sending us home with educational articles and calling us personally to discuss her findings and updating us through the whole treatment process. She is knowledgeable, professional, welcoming, with excellent bedside manners! Bravo Team CEAH, we are your biggest fans!! 💕 🐕

I had to make the devastating but selfless decision to put my fur baby of 17 years down. He hurt himself on a Saturday and because most vets are closed on weekends, I had a hard time getting a hold of one. From the minute my call was answered, I felt calming. The receptionist/tech on the phone was super sympathetic and knowledgeable. They were able to get me in same day. When we arrived we were placed in a very nicely decorated room with a couch and a table for my pet with a blanket for my pet to lay on. Through the entire process everyone was very supportive and sympathetic. This was the first time I have ever had to put a pet down, and given this was my first pet… it made it even harder. The vet techs and veterinary were wonderful. I highly recommend this vet office. Thank you so much Campus Estates for your support. I will never forget it. ❤️

Called last night after my reactive dog ate a large part of a toy which was completely out of character. They are clearly trained in dog behaviour, were patient with me and my dog, and had no problem accommodating my requests and following direction to prevent a reaction. We ended up leaving with no reactions and a very positive experience!! The entire office cares very much about animal welfare. The Vet was called away from us for a more emergent situation and a vet tech came in to explain the next steps for the procedure, what to expect, and administering the medication.They were both extremely knowledgeable, kind and calm. Can’t say enough positive things about our first emergency visit! The treatment ended up being a shot right into my dogs vein in his back leg that induced vomiting. He started vomiting in about 2 minutes, threw up 5 times and clearly emptied the toy out of his stomach, and a huge burp and fell asleep. Our team then collected the vomit, went through it to collect the pieces of the toy and then brought it into the room like a puzzle to confirm that the entire thing was accounted for. We waited for ten minutes in the room and then went on our way. Amazing team from first call at reception (call ahead!) to vet tech, vet, and back again. They even have a quiet room that we didn’t end up using, a calm and quiet waiting room, and a washroom station right outside with bag disposal.

We were treated absolutely amazingly by the staff here after we lost our dog some months ago. They truly tried everything, and their respect and understanding throughout the entire process was truly something to behold. We will be taking all our future pets here as they truly showed they care and have an amazing set of staff on site. Thank you so much.
