How to Save Money at Northern 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.

When I adopted my first cat I had no experiences with any vet in Midland. I wanted to get established with a vet before needing emergency services so we had a relationship and somewhere to go. Northern Animal Clinic was able to take us in as a new client. The experience has been positive in every way. All the staff are compassionate, good communicators, and provide excellent care. Recently, my cat had surgery and they were able to explain what was wrong, what was needed, and what the outcome would be. Please note, when adopting a pet, it is a big financial responsibility along with caring for the pet. While things may be more expensive than what you want to pay, you still have the obligation of getting the best care for your pet. I found Northern Animal Clinic’s prices to be reasonable and in line with the amount of care that my kitty received. Whenever I was recommended a service, Northern Animal Clinic gave me the reason why it was needed, never in any way were they unnecessary. If you’re looking for a caring, competent vet and staff, go to Northern Animal Clinic. But please don’t wait until the last minute. You need to have a vet relationship established BEFORE a problem comes along. My cat and I appreciate their service and will use them again in the future.

The staff is incredibly nice, you can tell they really care about your pet. We just got a brand new kitten and they had so many complimentary treatments to get us started as well as a whole package of wellness materials. This is definitely our new veterinary home.

Excellent Star was so relaxed and just didn't move to get shots or nails trimmed. Plus, we got her microchiped.
