How to Save Money at Lauzon Veterinary 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.

I took my terminally ill cat to be euthanized on November 22, 2024. The process was very peaceful, but unfortunately the staff did not take the paw prints that I requested to have done. I understand that mistakes happen, however there has been no offer of reimbursement to rectify the situation. Obviously, the money is not important and we can not go back and get the paw prints now. I had to call a few times over the past few days to get updates on where the paw prints were before they finally advised me yesterday that they were not done. I was told that this is not a service that costs money and is one that is offered for free so if you are taking your animal to be euthanized, just be aware that there is no guarantee you will get the paw prints since it is a free service, and if those are important to you, have them done prior. This just added to an already stressful and difficult time.

I am disappointed with this pet hospital. When I think of a veterinarian, I expect someone who genuinely cares for animals and strives to provide the best possible care. A few weeks ago, I brought my cat in with a severe mouth infection. The vet said she couldn't examine his mouth without sedating him and charged $1,300 for the initial examination, diagnosis, and antibiotics. I was shocked by the cost but felt desperate to help my cat, who was in terrible condition. The estimate for cleaning and tooth extraction was almost $4,000, which I couldn’t afford. The vet showed little empathy, and the receptionist suggested asking family for help or considering euthanasia. Distressed, I consulted a different vet, who diagnosed my cat without sedation, explained that my cat's condition is common in Persian cats, and quoted $800 for the necessary treatment. The initial consultation was only $250. This experience made me feel exploited. It seemed that this clinic prioritizes profit over the welfare of my pet. Additionally, when I previously needed a heart worm prescription refill for my dogs, they refused to provide it in person despite having tested my dogs recently, insisting on another costly visit. In summary, I believe this clinic's practices are more focused on financial gain than on genuine animal care. I urge pet owners to seek alternative veterinarians who prioritize both the health of the animal and the financial well-being of their clients.

Thank you to Dr. G Reiss for caring for my cat that was ill. Dr. G Reiss was knowledgeable and professional and explained clearly what my cat “Pote” needed. From the initial phone call to the office until the end of our appointment I felt supported and my pet was well cared for. I wanted to especially thank the girls at the front desk and in the exam room for their kind spirit and the highest level of professionalism I’ve ever encountered in a veterinary clinic. You do not find customer service like that anymore unfortunately. The clinic was spotless, the wait time was minimal go early, it you don’t want to wait. I’ll always drive the hour it takes from my home to attend Lauzon Veterinary Hospital as it was a very positive experience.

A few days ago my parents in their early 80s took their cat Oscy in after signs of a UTI and vomiting. She was seen the same the day they called. Dr Singh was the veterinarian who cared for Oscy. According to my parents he was very thorough during his examination and explained all findings and treatment plan. They were very impressed with the doctors professionalism and table side manner. It's been a few days and Oscy is doing much better. Thanks Lauzon vet and Dr Singh!
