How to Save Money at Coal Mine Animal 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.

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.

Love this vets office. My family used another vet for the past 15 years until the prices skyrocketed, the services went down, and they gave me the option of booking 2 months out, or waiting in there emergency department for 6 to 8 hours, when I told them I thought my dog might have broke her leg. That is when we decided enough was enough and started looking for a new vet. This practice has been amazing. They get me in right away, when there is an emergency, and get me booked within a couple of weeks for regular appointment. They are great with my furry pets and also have a reptile specialist for my bearded dragon. I am very glad we found them.

We bring our dogs here for dental cleaning and nail trims. They are super friendly and take good care of our pups. One time my dog ate chocolate from those chocolate turkeys you make at Thanksgiving. I didn't know how many she ate but was bet concerned. I called them late on a Friday afternoon and they had me give her some peroxide water to induce vomiting. I called back twice and they helped reassure me. It did work. Saturday morning thru even called to see how she was doing. I love them, great veterinarian established and so blessed to have them in our community. 08/01/2023 - Very response and friendly service.

I am blown away every time I visit this vet clinic. Dr. Brummel and all the nurses I have met are incredible. I wouldn’t trust anywhere else with my kitty! They speak very softly to ensure my cat is comfortable, they tell both myself and him what they’re doing, they are gentle, clean, and they even played some nice calming music as my cat Milo gets very anxious going to the vet! They are so incredibly kind and they always do what’s best for Milo. I am so so thankful for all of them so if you are looking for a new vet and want to be 100% sure your animals will be treated kindly and professionally, this is the place to go.

Dr. Brummel is one of the kindest most gentle sweet veterinarian and is so knowledgeable! I been taking my 15 year old cat to her for 3 years now & she is always so sweet to my Bailey. You can tell she really loves her job & loves animals. Any time I have questions, she will really take the time to explain in detail. Today she spent 20 min on the phone going over questions I had and I never felt rushed. I highly recommend taking your pets to see her as I know I can fully trust im getting the best care for my fur baby. Staff is also always so friendly as well!
