How to Save Money at Fleur 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.

The staff and veterinarian responded quickly to an emergency we had with our dog. I called and within a couple hours we were there and my pup was being treated. They are thorough, patient and attentive. This clinic really takes the time to care. I would recommend

I have several fur babies, and have been trying different Vet Clinics around the DSM Metro. Fleur Pet Hospital is by far the best hands down! My family’s newest addition-Echo (a 6.5 week old Corgi) and I were greeted as soon as we walked in the door! He is usually scared of new places being a puppy, but they showered him with love and praise so he became very confident that this place isn’t scary after all.we got into an exam room very quickly, and they made sure that I knew what to expect during our first visit. They listened to any concerns I had, and made recommendations on a puppy health plan that they thought would work best for Echo and I. They genuinely made Echo feel comfortable and safe the whole exam. He especially loved the treats! Overall the visit was amazing and stress free. I feel confident in his care and will be bringing him back as a loyal patient along with my other fur babies. It’s very reassuring to know if anything happened to my fur babies that I now have a place that I can take them to get the best possible care. Another great thing about FPH is that the pricing is very affordable. I don’t normally write reviews, but If you were like me- searching for a Vet that truly cares about your animals health/well-being I highly recommend you go try out Fleur Pet Hospital! Thank you FPH for taking care of Echo today. He had such a great time getting spoiled, and I feel great that he is healthy/happy!

I had an amazing experience here with my 5 month old puppy, had all of my questions answered, & was met with professional and friendly staff. I wish I could remember the name of our Vet and Vet Tech, but they were the sweetest. Will be recommending to all my friends with pets :)

Before I moved to Des Moines 5 years ago, I interviewed several vets. Fleur Pet Hospital "won" hands down and I've been happy with them ever since. I recommended FPH to my sister when she moved here and she, too, thinks this is the very best place for her four cats and a dog. Top Notch and NICE people.
