How to Save Money at Lynwood 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.
Reviews from Google
In my experience, Lynwood Animal hospital is the very best vet in the capital region. They’ve taken care of my bunnies for 2 years and have always gone out of their way to provide exceptional care. Despite living 20 minutes away, I recently moved both my cats to Lynwood too, as I have yet to find any other vet that offers the same level of care and service. Each time we visit, vet techs and Dr. Flegel / Dr. Baird have been very thorough, knowledgeable, and pleasant. I (and the zoo) want to thank each and every staff member that has taken care of us; you are all awesome. I don’t know what we’d do without Lynwood Animal Hospital!!

The best vet that I have ever had. I bring my rabbit there and they have always been super kind and professional. They have always made efforts to ensure that I have medication or treatment in a timely fashion. I highly recommend them, especially for exotic animals.

We bring our African Grey Congo (CAG), Bean, to Dr Flegel, avian vet at this location. We have always been kindly greeted either by phone, email or in person, by everyone. The information we get is detailed and useful, from helpful emails that make sure the appointment with be useful and you will be prepared for the appointment to the very detailed invoice and the patience of Dr Flegel and Stefanie (sorry if I am getting this wrong!!) during the visit. They let us ask all our questions and thoughtfully give us the answers we need. With the help of Dr Flegel and Stefanie, our boy has overcome some minor health challenges this year, his first year in the world (low calcium [even for a CAG!], B12 supplement to improve the CBC results, switched to Harrison's for an improved balanced nutrition diet, tips on behaviours, things to look out for or keep an eye on specific to our bird, etc.). Highly recommended this specialty AVIAN vet (actually, they're not just an avian vet, they're an exotic animal vet) for anyone in the NCR with a flighted friend (can only speak to their avian services/knowledge). Thank you for helping us take care of Bean!

The vets , techs and front desk ladies are amazing. They take time to explain things and treat our bunny like it is their own. I can not say enough about the care that is given every time we come in. Thank you so much. Maeby, Jill and Carter.

I’ve been very happy with my experience with Lynwood Animal Hospital. All of the veterinarians that have cared for my ferrets have been knowledgeable about ferrets and take the time to answer my questions, and some went as far as to offer suggestions on dietary habits and preventative treatments. This vet is one of the few around Ottawa that have experience with ferrets and they are gaining our trust with each appointment!
