How to Save Money at Front Street Animal 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.

My dog Andy has a skin disease. Fortunately, this hospital accepts new patients. We’re lucky to meet Dr. Kimball. My dog was treated in a timely and fast manner without an appointment. Thanks to Dr. Kimball for his patient and professional explanation. Dr. Kimball used the mobile phone translation software to write down every word and guide me on how to take good care of my dog. Thank you very much for everything Dr. Kimball and her team have done!

I visited Front Street Animal Hospital on December 4 and was very happy with the kind, friendly, courteous, and professional staff that worked there who had chimed in to assist me. Kris in particular went above and beyond in assisting me with my corgi named Biscuit's issue. I got served with prompt assistance, support and knowledge on next steps and my options. This hospital genuinely has a passion and love for your fur babies. I would 10/10 recommend visiting if you are contemplating on a hospital. This hospital is not going to upcharge you. Thankfully, Biscuit is 100% better now with the feedback they gave me. I am so glad I found this hospital. Thank you for all that you do!

I recently had my kittens spayed at this hospital and was impressed with the service. The staffs were responsive and made scheduling easy. Dr. Jordy and veterinary technician Chris provided excellent care throughout the process, ensuring a smooth experience from surgery to post-operative checkup. Thank you!

We came to the clinic for regular checkup and vaccines. Recently, we were trying to locate our dog and cat across the pond. The vets and vet techs have been so helpful and patient while we navigate through the piles of paperworks and extra vaccines the animals need. They provided valuable advice and our pets, as a result, were able to join us on the other side of the ocean. Thank you so much. The animals say hi and we will all miss the staff @ Front Street.

After a very scary event that landed my cat in another animal hospital, I followed up with Dr. Kimball. I have been to several vets in my lifetime for other pets, but this is the first vet appointment where I was met with immediate compassion and empathy on top of her clear abundance of skill and knowledge. I am very grateful for the care we received from start to finish. Thank you Dr. Kimball and looking forward to your continued care. Kaitlyn and Goose
