How to Save Money at Christin Finn DVM
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.

Christin is AMAZING!!! We are SOOOO grateful that she was able to help us, specifically our 14 year senior rescue who couldn't walk without assistance. I literally was in tears thinking I was going to have to say goodbye to her in the coming days. She immediately responded to my desperate messages asking for her help within hours (after hours!) and asked for a couple of videos so she could immediately assess if she would be able to help. Boy did she help! She improved tremendously after one visit!! We continue to see her and couldn't recommend anyone else more than Christin! Thank you sooo very much for saving our girl!

Dr.Finn saved my American Bulldog from back surgery. She is amazing at what she does. She cares about every one of her patients and gives amazing advice and constantly looks at new ways to help. My dog is 7 years old but after seeing her for 6 months he is like a puppy again. I could not recommend her more. If your pet is having any medical complication go see her before you do any surgery. She may have a better way.

I brought my 6 year old Border Collie mix to Dr. Finn because he was limping and favoring his hind leg. Dr. Finn determined Poppy has a ligament injury and has worked so well with him to help him heal. We have undertaken a course of injections, PT, Laser Therapy and a collagen supplement. I am happy to say at this point Poppy will not need the potential surgery that had been an option. Dr. Finn and Katie and Alex have all been wonderful, friendly and compassionate toward me (with all my questions) and Poppy. I am so grateful they are in our community!

Working and/or elderly dogs - this clinic is a MUST. You will be happy you found them! Dr Finn gave mobility, a better coat and nose, brighter eyes and a smile to my 14 year old Samoyed "Ellie". Ellie now "moves" when she walks instead of being a stiff block of fur. The simple, easy diet changes Dr Finn recommended moistened Ellie's dry nose, made her tongue red, softened her skin, and her eyes bright. Ellie is much more engaged and involved in everything around her. It really is heart warming to see my dear girl look and act years younger. I first visited Dr Finn with my 3 year old male Samoyed's mysterious resistance to right turns and slightly off gait. Dr Finn quickly found the problem. After just 1 treatment, my Sammy was back to happily herding sheep, hiking, and running the ring! I HIGHLY recommended Dr Finn and her wonderful assistant, Chelsea. I don't ever want my dogs to be without them.

We have a 7 year old black lab mix who was in constant pain and was diagnosed with bulging disks and compression in her spine. She was in constant pain, struggling to get up and limping. She was headed towards probable surgery when we were referred to Dr Finn. Through a combination of laser treatments, massage and hydrotherapy as administered by Dr. Finn and her team, we have our puppy back! She is off her pain medications, moving freely again and clearly feeling much better! She is back to her mischievious self and we couldn't be happier! Thank you Dr Finn!
