How to Save Money at SNAP Spay-Neuter & Animal Wellness 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.

Brought our cats today to get spayed. Have used SNAP’s spay/neuter services as well as preventative, microchip and flea treatments since 2020. Everyone is always very kind, friendly, explained things in detail and are available for questions or concerns. This visit we were helped by, Christian. He was thorough on what to expect post-procedure as well as services provided. One of our babies is a rescue and we found out she might have a hernia that would need repair. He was up front to let us know that if I needed/could be fixed we would be notified and how much it would cost, as well as alternative recommendations or treatment if it was not a hernia. Luckily our rescue is okay. I cannot recommend them enough. Fair prices and excellent service.

I love coming here because it’s the most affordable spay/neuter clinic within a 2 hour radius and they also see you sooner than any other clinic. And the staff is wonderful!!! I love it so much that I’ve been here about 10 times already to spay/neuter my cats throughout many years. Know that you will be in traffic so look at the GPS for the day and time that you need to be there to plan ahead. Here is what you need to know about CATS’ spay/neuter.. -This clinic will charge $85 for male cats, $100 for female cats. Most places charge between $150-$300 whether it’s male or female. -This clinic can have available appointments in 2-3weeks! Most places have available appointments in about 2 months. -This clinic only asks for a $25 deposit. Most places ask for a $90 deposit. -You will need to bring valid rabies certificate IF you have one, or can pay $28 per cat for rabies vaccine during visit which is more affordable than other places. -Cats must be in a secure carrier. -You can book online to see the soonest appointment/fill out some quick paperwork about the cat. If you need help or have multiple cats to book, you can call the phone number on their website for assistance. (Sometimes they answer but they do reach back out when you leave a voicemail) When you arrive you will have to wait because there will be a lot of pets getting surgeries the same day. Please arrive between 7:10-8:30am, or they may not take your pet. I have seen people be sent home because they arrived at 8:45am. Wait times are usually 30 minutes to 1 hour and this time last time, it was 1 hour and 15 minutes. You check in, wait for your pet’s name to be called. When you are in the room to drop your pet off they will ask you if you want to add any additional services, which are the best prices around but they’re not necessary and these prices can quickly turn your visit up to $200 per cat. If you are interested in the additional services like microchip/other vaccines, ASK them how much is it before you agree to it because they won’t say it. What is necessary is the rabies vaccine which is $28 (if you didn’t bring in valid rabies certificate) AND what else is necessary is already included in the $85-$100 price, which is the surgery and pain vaccine. Cats do not need the cone/dislike the cone. Cats can start to act normal after 24 hours. After dropping off your pet, you will wait in the lobby again until they call your pet’s name so you can pay for the surgery. Then you can leave. If they don’t have many surgeries scheduled or your pet is ready to pick up sooner, they will call or text you for the option to pick them up sooner. If they don’t, you can come in 4:05-5:30pm to pick up your cat. YOU MUST PICK UP YOUR PET. There is no staying overnight option.

Very compassionate intake staff and exceptional vet. As a walk in, I was surprised how quickly they organized exam, shots, and the vet spent decent amount of time (did not feel like assembly line at the regular vet's office) asking questions and examining the dog. While in the waiting room, the technician walked in to update on how soon we would be seeing the vet. I am sad they had to put up a sign not to use profane language bc it must have happened to them frequently enough. They are doing the most with the least and actually saving a lot of animals by making the care affordable. The areas were very clean. The intake clerk was very focused and efficient. I respect what they do and how they do their work.

They got my dog fixed and he is doing fine on the next day of surgery, no pain at all. Update for day 5, is happy and strong.

I have had such a great experience here. Brought in my pet and quickly was greeted, was even available for a walk-in vaccinations, but let me make an appointment. I was late for my appointment and they were still kind and able to assist me. They take tap to pay, which is amazing. They genuinely care and even follow up with a call to provide me more information and concern. I cannot recommend them enough. I recommend them to my clients all the time and I am just so happy to have had the stellar experience myself to continue to be able to recommend them. Please support this profit.
