How to Save Money at All Pets Vet Clinic

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.

I have been using Dr. Cruden as my primary vet for over 5 years now. It's great having a vet that can care for my variety of pets. He strives to care for the overall wellness of your pets through yearly testing, preventatives, and keeping vaccines up to date rather than doing the bare minimum. Even with inflation, cost of supplies rising, and the large demand for veterinary services, his prices are much more affordable than other vets in the area. They also accept new patients, participate with voucher programs, and have a 2-3 month wait time whereas other veterinarians are booking over 6 months in advance. Dr. Cruden and his staff greatly appreciate their loyal customers and are thankful for the kind clients who understand that the schedule is overbooked and the clinic is understaffed. If you're reading this review, please remember to be kind to those in the medical field and please do not get a pet if you cannot afford one. :)

M.B. Cruden has seen our beardie multiple times since he was a tiny thing. Crudens answers and assessments always checks out! He has a great personality and definitely can trust him with our bearded dragon. They are a great team. My family also goes there for cats. Very friendly and kind! Strongly suggested ❤️

Absolutely the best!!! Saved my dogs life when cp vets wanted 5,000.00 to do surgery to save her. All pets did surgery cheaper and actually cared about my dog instead of seeing money signs. I almost had her put to sleep because I couldn't afford 5000.00. Absolutely a place of caring and generous people.

Sadly changing my 5-star review from 3 years ago to a 1-star and honestly I wouldn't even give it that at this point... Dr. Cruden is becoming just like all the other vets around State college greedy and selfish and lie about the pricing. Pretty pathetic... Especially when I thought he was an actual decent vet and I used him for not only my own pets but feral cats and used to tell everybody how great he was. However he is definitely lost a very loyal customer today and I will definitely let anybody that I used to say good things about him to let them know as well. Lmao....the issue isn't the cost ..it's that you guys are liars! I was told $200 or under originally, then told it would be $375 if testicle didn't drop, I called today as his testicle did drop and was now told $300 or over. Ridiculous. You don't even have an accurate price to give people?? And I have found Allegheny pets who do it for $140...much better and I'd rather go to 4 springs than a liar vet any day! Thank you.

Our dog Jasper went to All Pets since we first adopted him as a senior dog. We had to have him neutered and all shots given because the previous owner did not do, or had no records of those things. I was nervous about how Jasper would handle the surgery and recovery at his age, but things turned out great. We also had an eyelid surgery done for his entropion. It brought him immediately relief and held up well. Between this and several dental cleanings we were very happy (despite nervousness around anesthesia) with the outcome of all the major procedures he had done. Jasper passed away this week after having some episodes in the past several weeks affecting his heart and breathing that were caused by a large, late stage tumor growing on his heart, which we learned after we brought him to Metzger. We are thankful that he had great care from Dr. Crudem while he was alive. The wait times for appointments can be long (usually 2-3 months for us) but I hear this is a problem everywhere.
