How to Save Money at Bergheim Pet Hospital & 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.

Our older dog passed suddenly last week and the staff was amazingly helpful after our regular vet really let us down when we needed them at 5pm on a Friday. Their kind and swift response has won a customer for life - we are switching all vet care over to them going forward!

They’re so friendly and take good care of my cat ZZ. They take time with her exams and send me home with information about her care.

Ok I have three dogs! One that I recently acquired (adopted) and took him to a vet near by on Friday. He needed his annual vaccines. I thought if this is a good experience I’ll move the other two since it takes less than 5min to get there!! It was fine.. then I took my other two to Bergheim as I always have today (Monday) half an hour away for me! Let me just tell you, I will do the drive.. every single time! The level of care, knowledge and service is TOP NOTCH! I love them! My dogs love Dr. Fradkin, and Caden! It’s different, it really is!! Bringing a new guy next time Bergheim!! Thank you for being wonderful and taking care of my babies!!

We have an older dog that is nervous about vet appointments. He needed a thorough checkup, vaccine, and to have his teeth cleaned. He went to Bergheim for the first time, and, very unusual for him, he did not get nervous at entrance. Usually he crouches under us to get away from the front office situation. But here, the front office had a warm and friendly feeling that obviously calmed him. A lot of that was due to Dr. Christina Kresser, who made sure to consider his nervousness, his age, his allergies, and that he was comfortable and well taken care of throughout the whole appointment. And also the receptionist and the technician were very nice, engaged, and competent. When we picked our dog up, he was calm and has recovered without any trauma at all. This is an unusual experience for him, and so nice for all of us. Today, the next day, as you can see from the picture, he is moseying around completely normal. He is bright eyed, and with beautiful teeth!

Dr Fradkin came and sat with me and explained my dog’s condition to me in detailing with the treatment options, the risks… it was better care delivery than most human doctors offices!
