How to Save Money at Grant 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.

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.
Reviews from Google
I’m a new resident to Missouri. I was having trouble adjusting to this new environment. I’d had a terrible experience with my initial contact with a vet and sitting service for my dog. Then, I found Dr. Ellie at Grant Pet Hospital after another long google search. I totally hit the jackpot! I was pleased with EVERYTHING about them. They were very professional, kind, compassionate, and supportive people who cared for my fur baby. In addition, my vet gave me loads of information to help my pup adjust to apartment living. This was the best decision I’d made since arriving here! I LOVE GRANT PET HOSPITAL!!

I had an emergency or what I thought was an emergency and they were able to get me right in. They were very nice, caring and helped me with the issue. The cost was a bit higher than I expected but I do have a Great Dane so that could be why! Overall I'd highly recommend them especially if your vet is closed or overbooked and you need emergency care.

a few weeks ago we brought our dog in from the emergency vet , she was in a rough place when we brought her in but they did absolutely EVERYTHING they could to keep my girl comfortable… we did end up having to send our Nala girl to heaven & the way the staff was so gentle & caring during this hard time for us , is something I will never forget… losing a pet is never easy & although this experience was completely heartbreaking they handled it so well … A HUGE thank you to everyone who took care of my baby, she was one of a kind & I know in my heart she felt loved when she left us … We had Nala cremated & it only took about a week to get her back . They even made her a box for her ashes which is absolutely beautiful, some print outs of her paws that we will cherish forever. I can’t thank the staff enough for their gentle kindness, & grace. As tough as this situation has been for my family, I am grateful for how this was all handled. I seriously recommend this place for anyone who needs a place to take care of their furbaby…. THANK YOU SO MUCH GRANT PET HOSPITAL.

Thank you Dr. Ellie and all the wonderful staff for your diligence and care over these last 6 months while Max was recovering from an illness (and for the years of care you’ve provided to our other pets as well!). You helped save his little life and we are so grateful for you 🥰

Our dog, Kelly, received surgery for obstructed bowel on 12/12/24. The care she received was excellent! We’d like to thank her surgeon, Dr Tom Rouse, the nurses, techs, and the front staff. All were very friendly, professional, took the time to explain everything to us, kind and compassionate to Kelly and us! We highly recommend Grant Pet Hospital!
