How to Save Money at State Ave Veterinary 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.

I came in since my little girl (dog) was unable to jump on the bed or even climb the stairs one morning. They were able to see me the same day. They did bloodwork and an ultrasound and couldn't fine anything wrong. They gave her pain medication which helped a little. The next day I brought in her fecal sample and they were able to make time to see me and administer the proper medication. I wanted to thank them for being attentive and helping her. Hopefully this is her much needed treatment 🙏

I was a client of State Avenue Vet but after tonight, I will no longer be one. Called after hours emergency and spoke with the on call vet who was clearly annoyed to have been disturbed while in bed. So sorry to have been concerned about my little dog. Maybe I didn’t have an emergency, but it would have been nice to speak with someone who at least sounded like they cared.

My wife and I are new to dog ownership and brought Maple our Miniature Daschund to get her vaccines/microchipped and be seen today. We were very pleased with the services we received and they were great with our little 🐶. If your looking for a great Vet this is the place! Also on a side note the facility is top notch and very inviting.

Take your loved pets anywhere but this vet. Too many horror stories and too many mistakes/misdiagnosis and way WAY too many deaths. These people need to be reevaluated by whoever gave them their licences to practice veterinary medicine. Go elsewhere save yourself the money and the heartbreak. Horrible that a vet continues to be in business the way they are. **** And yes, of course you would not have any record of me coming to your hospital because I did NOT come into your hospital, I had spoken to you three times on the phone (which was more than enough for me to make up my mind about never trying to use your services and then especially after hearing all of the horror stories from other people in Dickinson about your practice) as I was trying to pick up a $40.00 case of prescription food for my two pugs as I had just got back into Dickinson from Canada and staying in town for 6 months again... so no this was NOT "cyber bullying" or "odd" as you are trying to cry and whine about, this was and IS an actual legitimate complaint and I still stand by everything I have stated. I took my business to West Dakota Vet, who were more than willing to help me with my dogs prescription food for their pancreatitis. ******* just a fyi.... with a perscription written from the dogs regular veterinarian... you can in fact purchase perscription food at pretty much ANY other vet office. Id suggest you and your staff brush up on the actual laws concerning this... unless of course..as I see...you'd rather keep on arguing with clients and turning them away simply because you dont even have the first clue before speaking and arguing. It really makes your business and you look even more incompetent and pathetic... but of course you already knew that from all of your other generic anger filled replies to other legitimate complaints. Have a great day.. and good luck with your future business.
