How to Save Money at St. Paul 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.

Getting 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.

We really like taking our cats to see Dr. Zack Rieck. He’s got a very sweet domineer in addition to being quite informative. No unnecessary testing and the price for medications + exam was very reasonable. We’ve been coming here for years and we’ve also brought dogs. The only downside is the long wait time due to it being a walk-in clinic. However, once we were taken back, I feel like he really took his time with us and answered all of my questions with patience and compassion.

Best Vet I've ever been to. EVERY SINGLE PERSON who worked there was not only polite and accommodating but never guilted me about my very sick dog. They helped me find the funding to pay! Not one person I talked to at EVERY OTHER vet in town ever suggested care credit, these guys did. I was able to get my beloved dog the care she needed and was overwhelmingly satisfied with that care. Thank you to every one there. 4 paws up highly recommend.

My sick kitty and I waited 3 1/2 hours to see the doctor and still I'm giving St Paul Vet 5 stars. That's because the doctors here are very good caring people who do a great job. But they're extremely overworked because there aren't enough vets right now. The office staff does a great job managing the never ending stream of pets. I would recommend!

As much as I try not to be negative, I have speak MY truth about this place. I called on Saturday to ask if I can bring my puppy in for shots; the receptionist tells me no I cannot because they are short doctors. So, I ask for weekday hours and they tell me they close at 8:00 pm, to just go there and let them know when I am in the parking lot. So, today is Monday, I get to the parking lot at 6:00, right after work, and AGAIN, they tell me no, my puppy cannot be seen because they are short staffed, and they stopped taking patients at 5:00. Seriously? As much as I explained that I cannot be there any earlier, and that's why I came there because of they're hours, the receptionist did not care. She was so impolite, and rude to the point that she said if I did not like how they operate, that I should take my business elsewhere. I couldn't believe it; I thought that was a community clinic, and I was following all protocol. I arrived within the times specified on the phone, I called once I drove there, as I was told to do, yet, two hours prior to closing time they turn me away?! I don't get it. If they do not have the staff to operate, it should be listed somewhere, cut their hours, or see patients by appointment only, so people like me, who leave work as soon as possible to make it there within their hours of operation, do not end up wasting their valuable time driving over there. That's just pathetic!

I had to help my feline friend over the rainbow bridge today. Never an easy thing. Same service as the $400-$600 places. I paid $150. I deeply appreciate this place being there for my friend and I when we needed their help, they were nice to us. 😭😿
