How to Save Money at St. Francis Veterinary 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 feel very confident having our pets cared for at St. Francis Vet. Hospital and highly recommend them for their excellent service. Staff are professional and caring. They truly love what they do and it shows.

So many veterinary clinics everywhere you go, but it's so hard to find a clinic with compassion and empathy with our love and concern for our pet family members. Thanks so much for the truthful and genuinely attention and competence dedicated to my pets and myself.

I have been taking my dog to this vet for at least 3 years and they’ve always taken such good care of her. She’s super scared of strangers but loves everyone in their staff! Super recommend!

This place still in COVID phase where they only talk to u outside the front door when checking in. Have u not received the memo, all restrictions for COVID has been lift. It was cold out, so I was upset. I can't even go in w my daughter and my furry baby bc they only allowed 1 person. It's just ridiculous!!! I will need to find a better Vet. Oh and the front person is rude! Do not go to this place if u love your furry babies...

Dr. CC has given our dogs such incredible treatment over the last two years. One of our dogs has had a very bad case of IBS, and the other a persistent allergic cough. We have tried several vets across many years, and this is the first time we are actually seeing steady, significant progress. Our dogs health and overall happiness has increased tremendously. It’s very hard to find a vet who you can truly trust, and over the last two years we’ve seen Dr. CC be the most knowledgeable and competent vet we’ve ever had. A sincere thanks for taking great care of our beloved pups. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the office staff is very kind to us and our dogs, and always helps accommodate our crazy work schedules. They greet our dogs as if they’re their own every time. Highly, highly recommend.
