How to Save Money at Jonesboro Family Pet Hospital

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.

We have been going here since relocating from Japan. Our Shiba Inu are OUR treasures as well as Japans! The Staff are very knowledgeable and helpful with us. They treat and care for Simba & Rhea as if they were their own. The exam rooms are clean. Once seated in the rooms everything is done in the exam room to include payments. Our little one needs special attention and they take care of her personally in the private doctors office! The is a play/potty area on the side of the building that is well maintained. The prices are a little bit more than what we are use to, however the service, quality and care are beyond approach! I wish there was another office closer to us! But they have everything you may need and want here. The boarding area and playground were clean and did NOT smell! This is a place of pride and professionalism where the continue to teach and learn across the board!!!! We thank you very much!!!

The staff and vets are the best here. They have always taken such good care of my fur babies and are patient when I don't understand something. They are so sweet to every pet that walks in their door, and make the whole experience great, even for those pets that don't care for the vet. Thank you all for all that you do!

I had an issue with this place of business, I am changing back to a 5 due to the issue was actually with the answering service that was a separate entity and the vets office has fixed the original problem. I have used this vet for over 20 years, and have only had 2 issues with them that they corrected very quickly. They care for your animals and you! All of the vets are wonderful with my animals! I do apologize for the original bad review. Thank you so much Jonesboro Family Pet Hospital and to Dr. Guntharp who cared enough to correct the issue!

Have used JFP for over 20 years. Always pleased with the care they have given my fur babies, thru simple yearly shots, emergency care, illness and especially the compassion shown when it was time for my pets to cross the Rainbow Bridge. I have recommended them numerous times, all that used them, became lifelong clients.
