How to Save Money at Millcreek Animal 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 you care about your pets you WILL only take them here!!! Dr Ellis and Sherry are the most genuine people you will ever meet!! They truly care about our pet children and have always made sure we’re all taken care of. They saved our cats life and she stayed in their care for almost a week. All while I received frequent text messages through the day and the night with updates on my girl. She had blood transfusions and had to undergo another surgery to repair internal bleeding from the previous surgery performed by a different agency. Our most recent experience was with our senior dog. Dr ellis did all she could to ensure our dog had the best chance at having a good quality of life and followed us and checked up on us for about three months. Sherry and Dr Ellis allowed us to bring two of our kids with us, gave us Oreos to feed our girl… allowed us plenty of time to spend with her. When the time came for us to say our final goodbyes Dr Ellis and Sherry were so gentle with our girl. Dr Ellis and Sherry genuinely understand and are always supportive and caring! My family and I can not thank them enough for all they have done for us. I will certainly continue taking our animals to them!! We are forever grateful for you Dr Ellis and Sherry and all of the amazing staff at Millcreek Animal Hospital! Thank you soooo much again!!

This is hands down THE best clinic I have ever visited. I’ll never go anywhere else. I would love to shout out to the best vet tech ever- kimmie. She’s so helpful, informative, and goes above and beyond. This girl needs a raise! This place has an amazing environment. They even have the cutest friendliest office cat named Walter. He’s adorable! Thanks millcreek for making sure my cats are the healthiest they can be. You always take such good care of my babies!

Dr Ellis is amazing! Her competence and kindness while providing care for my dogs have been truly appreciated. Without a shadow of doubt, I entrust her with my dogs’ care and even their lives. The genuine passion and affection she has for animals shines through in the exceptional service she provides. Thank you, Dr. Ellis, for your outstanding work and the love you bring to your profession! My dogs and I thank you!

Our dog had puppies and we brought them her to get their tails docked and dew clawed. They butchered our puppies. 3 of the 6 had almost no tail left. Just a bump. We even brought the mom with us and showed the tech her tail saying we wanted them about the same length. They were jack Russell's and the norm is the length of a fist when they are grown. We also told them that. They also charged us $50 more then I was quoted on the phone that they said is a normal visit fee. It took us longer to find homes for the 3 puppies and we ended up having to greatly lower the price on them. Will never go here again.

When people say these people kill dogs listen to them, it's true! Someone I know took their dog in because he was having potty problems (diarrhea). While the so called vet was checking him out up on the little table she started to squeeze his belly. The dog went limp in the assistants arms and was struggling to breathe. They rushed him back to try to save him from what the "vet" said but they couldn't. The vet said something about feeling a mass in the area of his spleen and sometimes their bodies react that way when pressure is applied to it or some nonsense. Regardless that poor baby died right in front of his dad's eyes and he was devastated. He had to walk out of the office while they were trying to bring the dog back because he couldn't hold it together and was crying. These people are HORRIBLE!! If you love your fur babies for the love of God DO NOT take them here! Pay a little more at another clinic and get better care! Have you ever looked at their website? They have one Doctor to countless assistants. Makes you think if everyone is getting the proper care, or if all the tests are really being done or if everything is being checked out the way it should be or does she was way too much on her plate and corners are being cut and the poor animals taken to that awful place are paying with their lives. Someone should shut this death trap down!
