How to Save Money at Fort Smith Animal Emergency

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.

They charge $200 to take x-rays, then have the nerve to tell me I need to pay another $159 to send them to a radiologist that actually knows what he is looking at. Then I had to call them three times to remind them to e-mail the X-rays so I could take them to a vet that could read them. I recently had x-rays on my foot at Mercy, and only paid $96 and they were able to read them. I left paying $396 and the diagnosis was that I need to go to another, more competent Veterinarian

Very compassionate team. My sweet 10yo Ruby was hospitalized for 4 days. We received the best care and urgencies to treat was present. I received the best phone call, letting me know my baby was finished with treatment, and ready to be picked up. I definitely could hear the love from her voice with news. I trust the Emergency team but hopefully wont need them anytime soon. Thank you for caring.

Drove 2 hours from Little Rock to bring my boxer here when she got sick on a weekend night. The emergency clinics in LR had over 6 hour waits and certainly lacked friendliness over the phone. If I wanted an alternative then I was looking at Fort Smith or Memphis as the next closest options. I am SO glad that I reached out to this clinic!! The young woman who answered the phone was very kind and helpful immediately, which alone convinced me that I was about to make the drive. When I finally arrived the staff met me at the door and immediately walked us into a room without any wait whatsoever. They were gentle and attentive to my girl and were expedient yet thorough with their clinical processes and testing. I was seeing dollar signs as they described the tests and medications they were recommending but I was very pleasantly surprised at the total. I am convinced that I would have easily spent twice the amount in Little Rock. I can not speak highly of enough of the techs and the veterinarian who saw us tonight. Hopefully I won’t have a reason to see them again, but if anything does come up outside of business hours and I need someone who I can trust with my animals, there won’t be any question as to where I will take them - It was well worth the drive! I highly recommend them to anyone.

I took my cat here after he had an elastiration.On his stomach , they were able to stitch him up and give him pain medicine While I was there My biological father That had taken me to the vet and then I did not have a great relationship with decided It was a perfect time to cause a scene And yell these ladies The situation very Professionally and swiftly. After he was asked to leave They talked to me assured me Everything was fine and that they could give me a ride home if i needednone. Long story short i came back to get my Cats stitches out and it was only 10 minutes before he was done. Can't recommend this place enough love it!!!!!!!!!
