How to Save Money at Coble 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.

I can't say enough good things about Coble. I was lucky enough to work for them for a few years before moving away. Dr. Saner & Dr. Nourie are so knowledgeable and have helped me tremendously with all of my fur babies. The technicians are amazing as well as the front CSR's - always kind and doing their very best to help. I've recently been taking my Bowie cat back there as he is getting much older and fragile.. and still to this day they treat us like family, and make sure to give us comfort and walk us through this next (very sad 😔) transition of Bowie's life. There isn't any other vet I would want to be there for us when it comes to my oldest boy. I would absolutely recommend Coble to everyone in Springfield!

If you go to this doctor you will never take your animal to anyone else. He is hands down. Absolutely the best. Always the best priced. Always the most knowledgeable.

Our family cat was unfortunately hit by a car and my son panicking, rushed to Coble with his shirt wrapped around him. He ran inside and staff immediately took over from there. They went above and beyond to care for our severely wounded kitty. It was touch and go for a bit, but they definitely saved him. This place is amazing and truly cares.

I know this place is pricey, but I think it's a reflection of the care given and pride taken in their work. While waiting, you'll see employees straightening pictures on the walls, dusting shelves, and taking care of the place. Everyone seems to genuinely care about animals and want the best for your pets. In the exam rooms, any treatment can be given options because not everyone has a thousand bucks to blow on a weekend. Don't get me wrong, there are lots of great vets out there, and many of them do a tremendous job for less, but Coble is close to home and the people really do care, so I have no problem taking our pets there.
