How to Save Money at St Paul 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.

Our family had to make the tough call to put down our childhood dog this week. Dr Jaz made this extremely hard process much easier on all of us, very professional & caring. She went into detail of what the expect as this was our first time having to do this. It seemed like a very peaceful experience for our dog & we are forever grateful for her & her assistant Megan. Thank you!

I cannot thank St. Paul Vet Clinic enough for the compassion and care they have shown my animals throughout the years. Our 7 year old gal had a very scary stint with pancreatitis recently and the staff were amazingly communicative, did their very best to keep our costs low as possible, and were quick in their recommendation that she see specialists in the city. I could tell the vet went above and beyond to research what was going on, share her findings with the next vet, and she saved us money holding off on ultrasounds that we’d be better waiting to get in the city. I also want to give an extra special shout out to Shania for keeping me in the loop with pictures of our little miss during her stay. Thanks a million St. Paul Vet Clinic!!!

Everyone is super nice there. Vet has been very helpful as my cat nears the end. Lelu has been such a good car but now is having issues & it's time to make a decision

I have had the pleasure of meeting both vets and they are both incredibly friendly, caring, informative and good with my dogs! I like that they follow-up with their patients and answer any questions I may have. Their pricing is very reasonable and their building and waiting rooms are nice, large, kept clean and sanitized. They have variety of toys, treats, coats, collars, food etc there. The staff too are all kind and great to deal with!
