How to Save Money at Glanbrook Veterinary Services
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.

I have had good customer service with the vets and technician s and the girls at reception always friendly ,polite . Help me out even in stressful times. I had to put my cat down in July and Dr. Weaver was there all the way with me and my Abby . Whenever I have questions they take time and are helpful don't rush me off. Services are great. I have been to quite a few vets and so far this one is the best by far. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🐻🐾💯🥰

The team at Glanbrook continues to impress us. Our three year old golden retriever always receives the kindest, most thorough care imaginable. The veterinarian and the vet techs take time to explain, educate and break down next steps in the best way possible. Everyone is SO kind and friendly. You can really tell they care about each and every animal that comes through the door. Today we had to leave our pup for a number of hours for sedation and x-rays and I didn’t once feel uneasy about leaving him under their care. I truly trust them. It was a welcome surprise to see Tabitha (vet tech from our previous clinic) working there now. She remembered our boy which was so sweet. Thank you so much, Glanbrook!

I love this place so so very much. 10/10 Recommend, exceptional services. The most heartfelt and respectful business. These people are INCREDIBLE! Sadly our pet crossed the rainbow bridge but this team made it such a beautiful, special and peaceful moment. For something so difficult they deserve so much respect. They created a beautiful atmosphere to help you through the process. I also have a very popular negative review for another vet and their euthanasia process. This business tops every single vet I’ve ever been to. So I’m at a loss for words expressing how grateful I am to be a client of theirs. GO HERE! regular apts and daily pet needs are always met and their love for animals shows. They will always treat you and your animals with kindness and the respect everyone deserves.

The team here has provided excellent care and services for my beloved Jack Russell. She’s been at her pinnacle health ever since we’ve been coming there when she was a puppy. Now at 13? Just as wonderful thanks to their caring and professionalism. The team made a huge difference during our time in Hamilton and their kindness has never been forgotten. My family and I thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

I am beyond satisfied with this vet. We moved to the area just over two years ago and struggled to find a caring and compassionate veterinarian doctor for our two dogs. I was driving an hour away to our old vet. After switching them to someone local, I was very unhappy as the new vet did not even make an attempt to be friendly with my animals, but came out with a muzzle and would not let us in the room with them. I switched to Glanbrook veterinarian on a whim after one of our dogs got sick. The care, the compassion and the love that was shown to our dog was amazing. I felt as though we were at our old vet’s. They put our dog’s health and comfort above everything. I highly recommend ***** 5 stars!
