This adds only what you enter. It is not a clinic quote or a prediction of your final bill.

Step 2 · Questions to ask

Take these to your veterinarian.

Start with these few questions. Your clinic can help you decide what is appropriate for your pet.

Add your pet and clinic name to the printout (optional)

What specific question is this test intended to answer?
Notes or the clinic's answer
Could the result change the treatment plan?
Notes or the clinic's answer
If we may see a specialist later, will that specialist be able to use this test, scan, sample, or procedure—or might it need to be repeated using a different protocol?
Notes or the clinic's answer
Could you confirm the preferred test or imaging protocol with the specialist before we proceed?
Notes or the clinic's answer
What could cause this test or procedure to be repeated, and is there anything we can do now to reduce that chance?
Notes or the clinic's answer

A lower price is not always the safest choice. Use these questions to compare medically appropriate options with your veterinarian and specialists.
