How to Save Money at Mid North 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.

THANK YOU! The staff and Dr.Egan at Mid North Animal Hospital are nothing but friendly, attentive and caring. They took to the time to help answer all our questions when it came to our new puppy, and ensured my husband and I were comfortable. Milo is so lucky to have a caring team like all of you to look after him. Miriam, Carma, Sean, thank you for all your help and reassurance! We’re working on switching Milo’s food and Sean even went above and beyond to type out instructions for us. Thank you all for all that you do!

Mid-North has been my go-to vet for 15 years. They are always professional, caring and efficient. Dr. Schnoor and Dr Egan have both been fantastic to me and my pets. Miriam at the front desk is extremely thorough, attentive and professional. I trust them 100%.

The BEST vet in the entire city and I’m not exaggerating. Mid North was the best thing to happen to my cat and I, they literally helped me save his life from FIP!!! They’re so responsive and quick to schedule visits, the staff are very professional and friendly, and the doctors are just amazing. Dr. Schnoor and Dr. Egan are so knowledgeable and experienced yet so compassionate and patient with both the pets and the owners. I never felt too intimidated to ask them a question and they do an amazing job delivering the information in a way you can understand. As i mentioned, this entire clinic was my biggest support when it came to saving my cat’s life as every second counts when you’re dealing with FIP. It’s hard to diagnose but Dr. Schnoor was very quick to suspect it and push for further testing. I’m so grateful for her. Even throughout the treatment process Mid North consistently checked in with us on updates and remained accessible for questions and concerns which i truly appreciated. Finally, BIG shoutout to the Miriam! She’s truly an amazing human who was of immense help and just overall support and understanding. Mid North is extremely lucky to have her. But yeah, the service quality, price transparency, professionalism, knowledge, and compassion i experienced at Mid North is outstanding. I 10000% recommend them and will remain a client for as long as i can.

The staff at Mid North are extremely friendly and helpful. I felt validated in my concerns and they did a very thorough exam, asking many questions and giving great explanations. It’s clear the well being of their patients is the top priority there and it felt good to know my dog was in such great care! I will continue going back as long as I live near mid north!

I came to Mid North because they are the vets who work with Feline Friends, the organization from which I rescued my baby kitten, Fiona (Fifi). Fifi was so tiny when I adopted her after she was abandoned at the pound that they couldn't spay her prior to her coming home with me in July. By the time she was ready in September, based on her energy, attitude, and major, major growth spurt, we all figured this would be an uneventful, routine procedure. It turned out Fifi had an abnormally high liver enzyme in her pre-surgery labs the first time, and again, the second attempt, a few weeks later. Rather than just going forward, the vet completed further liver tests to ensure Fifi's liver functioning was normal, and after determining that it is, the third time was a charm and my little girl is now spayed. The reason this is so extraordinary as to be worthy of 5 stars is because first of all, Fifi's spay was included in the adoption fee, but I received no bill for the extra testing they did. Even more importantly though, the staff, especially Miriam, were so kind and always so patient with me, even when I was going crazy with a kitten in heat marking in my home. She answered every question and every crazy email sent at 3 am after I found pee in my bed, and even after the spay, followed up to recommend a special recovery onesie for my sassy kitten who couldn't tolerate the cone. All told, this is a wonderful place, with people who truly care about each and every animal--and each of those animals' pet-parents--who comes through their doors and if I didn't already have a vet I adore, I would absolutely go back here as my regular vet. Thanks so much everyone at Mid North!
