How to Save Money at Memorial Drive Veterinary Clinic
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.

I loved the detailed holistic approach to pet care we got from Doctor Osborn. She fits our families holistic approach to health. Determine the cause so we can find a solution building on our own uniquely designed bodies. Our bodies/pets love homeostasis and I feel her approach will help us maintain that throughout our dogs life. Thankful to have found her.

Much love for Memorial Drive Veterinary Clinic! I wont go into the gritty details, but I was dealing with a pup that had emergency surgery. This was done at a certain 24 hour clinic in Appleton. The initial care was of curse satisfactory, but the front of house staff was rude and I was not getting the follow-up care my pup needed. So I tracked down Dr. Mansfield. She had taken care of my previous sidekick for MANY years. He has Addison's disease and Dr. Mansfield knew how to treat this via long-term care. So over the years, I appreciated her care, concerns and the vast knowledge and experience she had. I learned she was here at Memorial Drive Veterinary Clinic, so given a post-op scare involving a skin infection I called Memorial Drive Veterinary to see if Dr. Mansfield was working and if I could get him in, quickly. Yes to both! It was not a short visit, Dr. Mansfield was thorough and gave some solid recommendations. They have Blue Laser treatment, which I think may have had he greatest positive effect in reducing the infection. Because within 24 hours it was cleared up, too soon for the antibiotics to kick in I think. In any case, he is very much out of the woods. Signs of the kin infection are all but gone and his would is healing well. The staff, (thanks Hanna!) was super nice and knowledgable. They did accidentally charge me for two laser treatment, but they called pretty quick. I had it applied as a credit since I will be coming back!

Dozers first visit to the vet went very good. Everyone at the vet was super nice. Dr Mansfield treated my dog as if it were her own. The vet assistants were amazing. So glad that I chose memorial drive vet to be my new puppies vet.

Very clean, very nice and professional staffing. I felt welcomed by everyone. Reception was amazing! They remembered that I changed my cat's name ( when I forgot I did that). The vet techs handling my little girl were so great and patient. She seemed to be a handful but they treated her so well despite her little outbursts. I was well informed on how to treat my new cat's conditions. I had Dr. Dan and she was so helpful, patient and knowledgeable. She listened to my concerns and gave great advice. I told my friend about the visit and SHE remembered Dr.Dan from 10 plus years ago with nothing but positive things to say. I feel like I hit the vet jackpot. Thank you all at MDVC

We have been seeing Dr. Mansfield for our dog for the past 9 years. We have felt so much love and passion from all the staff members at Memorial Drive. Dr. Mansfield has always made us feel like Hank was one of her own. She is exactly who you want taking care of your fur baby.
