How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Northern Hope Veterinary Care
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

Penny and Caesar are patients of Dr Sara and Dr Sara Graber. Both dogs love visiting Northern Hope! We are very happy with all the services that both doctors provide. Penny has lots of health problems and receives acupuncture and chiropractic services as well as Chinese remedies for seizures. Both doctors are so gentle with our animals and very attentive to us. Very friendly receptionists, technicians and assistants. Northern Hope also carry holistic food that is impossible to find in the area except ordering online. We completely trust Dr Sara with diagnosis and treatment of our pets.

I took my little Bosley in to see Dr Sara and I was so impressed with her. She was the best vet I have ever taken my little guy to. Very informative and the care she gave him was outstanding. I am so glad I found her. Not only did her and her staff show kindness, compassion, and care for my pet, they also showed me kindness , compassion and understanding. If you love your pet like I love mine, you will be glad to have Dr Sara as your veterinarian. Thanks to all at Northern Hope Veterinary for your loving care for Bosley.

I recently had to put my dog to rest, I had never been to Northern Hope prior to this visit, but they were the only vet within the Brainerd Lakes and surrounding area that were willing to help me with my situation. I had been battling a lot of guilt and doubt, but from the moment I walked into the door, I had never felt more at peace with my decision than that moment. Everyone was great, supportive, helpful, friendly, and so comforting. From Jenny at the front desk, Dr, Sarah, and every one else that had a part in Homer’s end of life care, you all truly made the process easier. I can’t remember everyone’s names, but I will always remember you. Thank you for making Homer and I both feel at ease. I still find comfort in how comfortable and loved you made Homer. You guys will never know how much I appreciate your work. Northern Hope is the best vet in the area in my book and I will be transferring my vet care to Northern Hope in the future. Keep up your fantastic work guys!

Dr. Sara is a dream vet! My dog was mauled by a pit bull 4 years ago and in pain tight muscles and spasms. Jackie has acupuncture and has seen a Chiropractor and is doing so much better. She has a new diet and has liver happy, muscle sore is “smiling” (showing her teeth) when people pet her.
