How to Save Money at Wisconsin Community Veterinary Center

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.

THEY KILLED MY CAT!!!! I 100% do not recommend bringing your animals here for any service. My perfectly healthy 2 1/2 year old cat went in on 6/5/25 to be spayed and told me they would place and IV Catheter for her. That was never given, I picked her up and they had stated that her gums were pale and to keep an eye on her. She was barely breathing and couldn't keep her head up. Her carrier had feces and pee in it. I rushed her into UW veterinary hospital where she was anemic, blood in the abdomen, and in shock... she was prepped for surgery and died before they could begin. I reached out Friday morning and was told a manager would call me Monday. 6/9 waited until 4:30PM for a call that never came. I had called them and they couldn't get a manager or supervisor on the line so they said one would call me back. I received a call at 5:45pm and it was an intern vet calling to say sorry. I asked if they were the one that performed the surgery or a manager? They said no to both. I asked why they were calling and not a manager or supervisor. They didn't have an answer. She had 0 answers to any of my questions what so ever. So now I am supposed to receive another call tomorrow. Hopefully getting closure and answers. What a terrible place that mutilated my perfectly healthy cat....

If you haven’t been here, I highly recommend going not only did. The staff was amazing. I was running late like and I mean like 15 minutes late. They were so acceptable and nice about it and then when I got there, they had this giant shelf of all donations and they didn’t make me feel awkward or weird or ashamed about helping you

I used them for neutering my puppy. I liked the initial call but I never received the Zoom call that was scheduled with the vet. My puppy was still active after his surgery and they couldn't get the protective cone on him. He was able to lick a little on the ride home. So I took him to a local vet for a follow. He told me the placement of the procedure should have been done differently. His sack should have been pushed up instead of making the cut right on his sack. I understand it's a teaching facility. So this is just my review, saying that it should have been placed in a different area so he wouldn't be in so much pain. Now his healing time will be longer. The price was fine.

Probably fine for a immunization or something really small but this place is a joke. They can't seem to run properly or remember anything from one day to the next. If you like waiting a week for a call back or playing phone tag while your pet is ill, then this is your place! I personally have been having the worst experience possible with them and all they say is sorry. Sorry doesn't really help in my pets situation. Now has wasted over 2 months of my and my cats life having us wait. Can't seem to test samples correctly, keep samples safe and not LOST!!! Waited hours to speak to an actual person to be told wait longer, then to lose important samples before testing or simple review. Can't even remember what happened 2 days ago. So make sure you get people's names and document everything! Also one time harassed me for $12 I never owed. These people don't care about you or your pet. At least they don't seem to care about me or mine. Really think before going here.

I am heartbroken to write this, but I feel it’s important to share. My dad's 3-month-old kitten was brought to your clinic for a neuter surgery. He came home extremely lethargic and barely able to walk. He wasn't eating or drinking. Tragically, he passed away within 24 hours. After he shared what happened, I remembered that others had very similar experiences with this place, some losing otherwise healthy adult cats within a day of being treated at this clinic and others losing kittens.These aren’t isolated incidents. I’m writing this not out of anger, but out of heartbreak and concern. If you’re considering this clinic, please take this into account and ask questions about their protocols and post-op monitoring. I wish we had known to do that sooner. please do your research and give your pets a chance at life.
