How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Minnesota Veterinary Hospital

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.

I switched vets about a year ago and I'm glad I did. My doberman had a mass cell tumor on his back. The professionals at Minnesota Veterinary Hospital were quick to assess the situation and get him in for surgery within a few weeks. I'm very thankful for the entire team. They helped me out tremendously. The care, cost and quality of people here will keep us coming back. I'm proud to say Hank is doing well and fully recovered 💪

It’s been a few years but this STILL makes my blood boil. But I found out the front desk was telling new clinics I tried since moving from the area that I did NOT pay my boarding fees and talking crap about me, I realized the money I paid was taken without actually paying for my services like it was suppose to. Jeff let me take my cats home before paying, I thought he was being nice since at one point I did work here in the boarding area. He told me when I received my tax money to let him know and pay for the boarding. As soon as my money arrived I let him know, he literally took me to the bank to get the cash out. He took the money which I guess never was used to pay for my boarding. It’s totally unacceptable that I had to be humiliated because your staff spread false information. I PAID!

I've been taking my dogs to MN Veterinary Hospital for a number of years. They have been great with both my outgoing dog as well as more timid pup. I do not feel pressured into additional services, and they made my sick dog's euthanasia experience smooth and calm. I can only express my gratitude for their dedication to our furry family members.

Have used Minnesota Veterinary Hospital services three times. My first point of contact was Kelly, who was awesome. So knowledgeable and caring. Our first appointment was for a checkup with blood work prior to neutering our 18-month-old farm rescue cat. Initially the appointment was scheduled two months out but Kelly was able to move that up to a week out. After dropping our cat off for neutering, I had second thoughts and called the hospital. By wonderful coincidence, I spoke with Jeff, the son of the founder of the MN Vet Hospital. Calm and professional, Jeff reassured me that we were doing the right thing. Ten days post surgery, our beloved indoor/outdoor cat is doing just fine. The business is managed efficiently, and the staff is caring and professional. As a first-time pet owner, I am pleased to have found such a skilled and professional group of animal lovers to care for our beautiful Siamese Manx Bobtail cat. Thank you!

Our dogs have received excellent care here and Dr. Freed saved our very sick dog’s life. He lived happily for another 7 years. The care for both our dogs has been the very best, as they are AAHA certified. The costs are very reasonable, as well. We cannot thank the entire staff enough for going above and beyond in our dog’s care. Their display of compassion is immeasurable and rare in today’s world.
