How to Save Money at Jonesboro Animal Clinic
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.

The staff is awesome! Dr Johnson went out of her way to take care of my dog. The clinic is clean and never smells. Very reasonable with price

PSA if you bring your animals to Jonesboro Animal Clinic in Hodge DON'T! Sabin is dead because of pure negligence of the vets office. March 23rd 2023 Sabin was brought in by his mommy to be neutered because she trusted the vets office to do what they're supposed to and take care of her baby. He was perfectly healthy prior to this appointment. It turned out that he had a testicle that was undescended so they had to make another incision to "fix" that. A couple days after he had been neutered he was acting lethargic, wouldn't eat, and started running 104 fever so we brought him to the emergency vet on March 26, 2023. The emergency vet said that he had an infection from the inside of the incision so they prescribed some antibiotics to fight off the infection. The following day on March 27th, 2023 he had his follow up appointment at the clinic in Jonesboro where she brought him in and was explaining what had happened, and all they had to say was that he just "doesn't tolerate pain well". Completely disregarded my sister's concern for her dog, and now a week later he is dead. He was lying on the floor, & been acting more sleepy when Sam went to check on him he wouldn't respond and started to show signs of having a seizure then went limp. I started administering emergency CPR immediately, and when I couldn't do it his mama did. We fought to bring him back for over 25 minutes, but despite our efforts we couldn't bring him back. All of this could've been prevented had the vet just listened when she brought him back explaining the situation, and instead the girl made her feel stupid because she "knew" what she was talking about and had done the surgery herself. If you love your babies please don't bring them back to the Jonesboro Animal Clinic, you won't regret your decision!

I brought my daughter for the veterinary workshop & we had a great time. This was a great hands on opportunity for kids that are interested in going into animal care. We learned lots of new things & my daughter is more interested in veterinary medicine than she was to begin with. The workshop was also free. Everyone was very knowledgeable about what they were doing & they were all happy to answer any/all questions the kids had. We are definitely looking forward to the next workshop.

we changed over to this clinic because I was driving long distance from our previous vet's office. We couldn't be happier. They are reasonable moneywise ...consider whether you care about your animal or not. (ours is our beloved baby. child)...We went there thinking it would be huge pain to switch and pain in the neck given we were moving over to another clinic. Thought would be so tough to switch but they went thru our fat folder from before. ....they were so caring about our experience.. and I know it took them a lot of time and effort to dive into those fat convoluted folders we gave them....I feel good about them.
