How to Save Money at Chambers Creek 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.

I absolutely love this place!! Everyone is always so nice and extremely understanding! You see I have a very hyper and energetic pitbull-terrier mix and she just wants everyone to love on her. It can get a little crazy at times but with everyone being so nice and understanding and definitely helps ease my anxiety because like I said, I’ve got a wild one 😂. But not the main reason is the staff!! They are all so wonderful regardless of what the visit is! Thank you all for always being wonderful and cheerful even when I know it get rough! Keep up the amazing work!! ❤️

Excellent first puppy visit! Staff was great, it was easy to set up appointments & insurance. Comprehensive discussion with Dr. Erickson including breed-specific care/concerns and current new puppy medical practice. We made a general plan of care for the year and left feeling like our pup is in good hands.

All staff was really nice and considerate and caring. My cat was a new patient, and an urgent care appointment, and they were able to fit me in within 3 days (because of the holiday). My tabby is typical and can be "spicy", and they were very cautious and patient with him. They did ask for a semi-steep deposit, but it went straight towards the appointment everything was very reasonable in terms of pricing and accommodating. I would firmly recommend them ❤️

Love the team here at Chambers Creek!!! Everyone is always so nice and so kind and patient with our pups! We are unfortunately moving out of state and I am so sad to be leaving and finding a new vet that will be as amazing as Chambers Creek! Thank you all for taking great care of our fur babies every time we come in!
