How to Save Money at All Creatures 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.

We are new to the area and not surprised that all the primary vets are overwhelmed. Our BC was running a low grade fever for a week and off her food. Dr. Ellen Frigo saw us that day and quickly ruled out many possibilities including Lymes and Blastomycosis. I was beyond thrilled with her knowledgeable assessment. Thank you so much for going the extra mile to help a new client!!!

Our dog fell sick while we were up in Northwoods. All Creatures was able to fit us in promptly, and provided superior care at reasonable cost. Very kind and caring staff, extremely grateful for the service!

You saved her life!! She’s going great. The other vet in Minoqua miss diagnosed her. Thank you so much. Con genitive heart disease and treachea problems. She recovered remarkably with the correct medication by this clinic. I’m so happy! Thank you so much! Princess is having a good time in Florida.

We just moved to the area and our dog needed her annual check up. She’s super shy, especially with men, since she didn’t have the normal people socialization puppies need because we got her in March 2020. The staff was so patient and took their time gaining her trust. It’s the first vet visit where she didn’t make a puddle!! I feel very confident that she’s going to get great care here. 🐶 I was also impressed by this sign (see photo) they have near their check-in desk. I also like the fact that they have a separate entrance for dogs and cats/all others. We have a cat too and she will be happy to not be in the same space as all the dogs when her turn comes around!!

We have been taking our dog to All Creatures since we got him a year and a half ago. They have always been very kind and respectful to us. Our lab has some anxiety issues when at the vet and sometimes barks at the other animals wanting to play, as he’s only a year and a half old. Sometimes we wait in the car until our time so as not to disturb the other animals or owners. While we were there this time, we had to see Dr. Rogers, usually it’s Dr. Amy. Last time he seen Dr. Rogers, he wasn’t his biggest fan. We think maybe because he was protective of me. This time, instead of the Dr coming into the little exam room, they took our pup back to the back in a bigger area, removing me from the situation. Dr. Rogers took his time and made our pup feel comfortable with him. He also listened to all our concerns and addressed anything that needed discussed. Shots were done and we were sent on our way. This staff is a great group of people, but it goes far to remember that you can also help them out. If your dog is like ours and is a little anxious, wait outside so it doesn’t cause distress among other animals or people. Thanks for being so great to our pupper!
