How to Save Money at Coon Rapids 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.

I've been going to this clinic for several years, my cats were always taken very good care of especially Charlie. Dr Johnson is a very good doctor and did dental surgery on him twice, as well as treating him for all of his other issues over the years. I've spent a few thousand dollars there over time but today I am angry. I have a new kitten (charlie passed last september) and I made her first appointment to have her spayed two weeks ago, the appointment is on monday.(7/22/24) I got a call from them about an hour ago (7/19/24) and was told that I needed to give them a deposit $50. I asked why and the girl said that they needed deposits for all surgeries. I have never left that building owing any debt. I have always paid in full, we are talking many visits. when you patronize a place for as long as I have, you tend to get a little pissed off when they treat you like a new customer. no care or concern for my objections, no care or concern for my cat, and no care or concern for anything but the payment. I cancelled my appointment. told them to delete me out of their system and let them know that I would like for Dr Johnson to call me so I could voice my concerns, we will see what happens. but I am looking elsewhere for pet care. 4/5 years ago this place was amazing, I remember all the staff changes over the years, right now this place is hurting...

I had taken my baby there many times. Told them I was very concerned my cat was head pressing and eating cat litter she kicked outside the box. Something was very wrong. They did blood work and X-ray and physical exam. Said it could just be allergies. I asked at an appointment if it could be something in her brain. They reassured me that she will be fine. Took her back in multiple other times and got the same opinions. One day they were booked when I needed an emergency visit and they gave me 2 other locations to try that could fit my description of needs. I brought her to Plymouth and not even 5 minutes of seeing her they called me and said she has cancer spread throughout her entire body and needs to be put down immediately. I was devastated. I should have gotten a second opinion. I regret ever going to this place. As they were very friendly and welcoming, this should have been caught long ago. I will never recommend this place or ever go back. I wish I could get my money back for the cost of my family’s life. She was the best cat I could ever ask for. She loved everyone and didn’t deserve to suffer for as long as she did.

Do not use! Run the other way! These people do not care about animals or their clients! They Cause trauma to your pet and then do nothing about it. Stay Away! Stay Away! Stay Away!

I took my puppy here for all of her puppy shots. They also quicky indentified other illnesses as they came up and got us on a routine that helped get us back in good health. All of the staff was very knowledgeable, patient, and caring! I knew my dog was in good hands. The bills did get a little hefty but that seems to be an issue at most vets in the area.
