How to Save Money at Jasper 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.

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 took our dog Niko there for 9 years before he passed, and the staff at Jasper Animal Hospital always did an amazing job with him (though maybe he was just an easy dog). Be it teeth cleaning, skin issues, and one major surgery, all the staff was always helpful. The front-desk team is responsive at getting things scheduled, and the techs and vets all have a love for animals. I appreciate the whole team there, and happy with the services they provided for my dog.

The vets and staff here are amazing! I’m new to the area and was specifically looking for a vet clinic that worked well with cats and I’m so glad I found Jasper Animal Hospital! I’ve specifically met Dr. Knox and Dr. Warner and they were both super nice and patient with me and my cat, Jackson. Also the vet techs and the front desk staff are super nice as well! Jackson is a senior kitty and had GI issues so I took him in and they were able to call me with the lab results the following morning (much faster than any other clinic I’ve been to). Then his issues got worse a few days later and they were able to schedule a same day ultrasound appointment. Unfortunately Jackson’s condition is terminal, but the vet was super kind and patient and spent quite a bit of time with us explaining our options. Even though the office was busy with appointments, they made time for us and I greatly appreciate it. Not once did we feel like a burden. I’m so thankful I found this animal hospital and I look forward to taking the rest of my kitties here!

Jasper Animal Hospital is wonderful! The Doctors and Techs have a sincere passion for for the well-being of the beloved pets in their care. They involve the pet parents in steps and clearly explain various procedures. I love that they have two amazing and accomplished Avian Veterinarians on staff. Dr. Yurich is family!

I have never used another vet since 1998. Wouldn’t consider it even though there are 4 vets basically within walking distance. I drive 20 minutes to Jasper. The best.

Jasper Animal Hospital has excellent, kind, caring, compassionate, knowledgeable experienced, intuitive doctors and staff. I feel like they are tuned into to each of my animals when we go there. They understand the nature of the breed and realize how to interact with their nature. My 1/2 malamute 1/2 Siberian Husky is a content poochie going there. She rescued me 9 years ago. When I first started going there with her, I had to give her a sedative 90 minutes prior. Jasper won her over after a few years of visits and wore her suspicious nature and flight or fight factor completely away. No sedative necessary now. On some level my eternal 4 legged child, Kierra knows she is being cared for and now tolerates the Dr and staff coming in to examine her with touches, poking and prodding and accepts it willingly. That’s a huge compliment coming from Kierra! I’m grateful too! If you’re looking for what’s described above, Jasper will not disappoint! Thank you Jasper Animal Hospital Staff and Dr Space!
