How to Save Money at Lane 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.

Thank you Dr Lane and his employees for being so kind and caring. Dr Lane was so patient with our Ruby girl. We went to Dr Lane for a second opinion and we are so glad we did even though we were wanting to hear a different option. Dr Lane reassured us and recommended what our next step was. Thank you all so much for being so kind. Our dog Ruby was so relaxed while being there because of the environment. So glad we made the move over. -Lindsey, DJ, and Ruby ❤️🐾

Dr Lane and his staff take excellent care of our most recent addition to our family, our chocolate lab Cooper and also our 3-year-old cat Abby. They are kind and compassionate and professional. I would highly recommend them.

I couldn't be any more pleased with the care that we've received from Dr. Lane and his staff. Everyone has been so kind, thoughtful and informative, booking appointments has been smooth and easy, and the day I had my kitten spayed, we went over everything that was going to happen before hand, and they called to let me know when her surgery was over and that she was doing really well. Everyone is wonderful and so professional and I can't recommend them highly enough!

I cannot express how thankful I am to have found this clinic. Dr. LANE has been a tremendous help with my Rottweilers and even Chickens, were as most clinics In the area don’t even see Chickens. They also don’t push vaccines on you like some other clinics do. They always have a smile on their face when you walk in, and they’ve always been very kind. I just wish I would’ve found this clinic sooner. I also appreciate that Dr. LANE takes the time and is always willing to try something new with my pets, when bringing up some information that I had researched. He doesn’t turn you away or dismisses you as if you had no idea what you’re talking about, just that in itself makes me feel so much more comfortable with this clinic.

Wonderful place to take our pets. We recently brought in 4 puppies to have their vaccinations done and while Dr. Lane was giving them the attention they needed the rest of the staff was giving all kinds of loving they wants... Even when some of them were screaming for more! I am so happy we found a vet that treats their patients like family!
