How to Save Money at All Creatures Great & Small 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.

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.

If I could give more stars I would. Dr. Davis and her staff are top notch. They are always willing to help and are great with animals. My gliders have been going to her for a bit and when it was time for one of them to cross the rainbow bridge her and her team explained everything in detail and you get as much time as you need. If you go to any other vet you will be doing your pet a disservice. She will now be the only vet any of my animals will go to from now on. Thank you Dr. Davis and your staff.

I took my cat in for a visit and to get her vaccines, total came to almost $200. Not sure if that’s expensive or about what the prices in the area are, but it was super convenient. My girl gets car sick and the drive was less than 5 minutes, so that was perfect for us. When we got there she was able to get seen pretty much right away. It was very “get to the point” with them and it wasn’t a friendly feel for us. I’m hoping it was just that one visit because I really don’t want to have to drive farther and make my girl get sick.

Been meaning to write this review for some time now. We noticed a lump on our baby Thumper’s belly and was searching for a vet that would see her asap. After NUMEROUS calls and declines, All Creature’s great and small said yes to us and made her an appointment immediately. Dr Davis and her team were amazing with Thumper! They were gentle and knew how to handle her. We Found out it was cancerous so they immediately scheduled her surgery. They kept us updated the entire time with her surgery. After some time the cancer came back and our sweet girl passed away in September. One thing we appreciate more than anything that Dr Davis was straight with us about the cancer and the possibility of it coming back and how much time we had with her. With knowing that information the time we had with her was spent together with my wife and I letting our rabbit know she is loved and she is a fighter. Our rabbit was pushing 9 years of age. Even her being an older rabbit there was no hesitation for doing immediate surgery, Which we are thankful for. But we know Dr Davis and her team did everything they could to take care of our Thumper and we will always appreciate what they did. So my wife and I recommend Dr Davis and her team at all creatures great and small because we know they will take care of your animal and do everything they can to make them better.

I am so grateful to Dr. Davis for her and her staff’s sincerity, kindness and caring today; and for squeezing us in at the last minute. My sweet cockatiel became suddenly ill, and knowing how quickly birds can take a turn for the worst, Veronica made time for us. We had already called through 9 other avian vets, who either weren’t in the office today, or were booked solid. The situation with “Squeaky” was very complex, but Dr. Davis was ‘cautiously honest, yet hopeful’ — characteristics that made her easy to trust. No one wants to hear that their beloved pet may not make it, but her gentle candor helped to set my expectations, and prepare me for the coming hours in terms of how intense my efforts to save him will need to be. She methodically, and deductively ruled out the usual suspects, and helped derive a plan based on how much we thought Squeaky would be able to tolerate. Additionally, you can tell their kindness comes from a deeper office culture, as evidenced by their Sticky-Note rainbow of positive affirmations framing the bathroom mirror. I’ve included a pic for reference. Now, I’m off to do everything in my power to help him recover. Thank you again, Dr. Davis, Vanessa (our vet tech) and Veronica (taking care of the admin).
