How to Save Money at MN SNAP

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 forgot to charge our portion and only collected 10$. I wasn't even paying attention. I was focused on my pup. Got a call 2 days later. Make sure they get all the details wrapped up. If they keep dropping the ball like that, this unbelievable service won't be available long. Thank you all!! Belle T. is healing nicely.

The price is good and beneficial to people who can't afford an expensive clinic, but when you schedule an appointment time, just be aware that is not the actual appointment time. That's check in time, and they won't do your pet right away. Your pet will sit in the surgery room with other pets all day! Probably why they say it's okay for your pet to eat before surgery. You also will be waiting almost all day as well. And after the surgery, my poor buddy, was also sent home with a his blanket peed on with a fresh wound from surgery. You think they would supply a new blanket for the cages if they're soiled, especially if they're going to leave animals at their clinic all day without bathrooms for them. I would've given this place a 3 star because the price was perfect and I'm just glad I got my pet fixed. But it was the soiled blanket for me (soiled blankets and fresh wounds can cause infections) on top of it, I could've brought my pet in at a scheduled time vs waiting all day just for my pet to be next in line. Felt like the DMV but for pets.

I've been there before with my first cat Squirt. They treated him with so much care. They said he was adorable and well taken care of. He has passed over a year ago and still very sad of the loss in my life. At that time they had grants for animals but not much any more. They may have some money now but not sure if how much. They are a wonderful organization and would recommend anyone to take there pets to MN SNAP. I was really nervous when I went back to get Squirt after his surgery, but they reassured me he would be fine in a few days. Just keep him quiet and he will be ok. No jumping up and down and all around they said. Made me smile. Love the volunteers and staff. Wonderful people and place for pets to be well taken care of. There is a picture of Squirt II. He's such a living, adorable cat. Just recently I took him back to mnsnap to be neutered and they did a wonderful job. They called me promptly when he was coming out of surgery and that he had ate a little and it was such an adorable cat that when he came to the gate when they would open up the door on his little box the thing that he would come right to the door and want to be snuggled and hugged and petted and stuff like that they said he was such a good cat while I was there. I ended up having to get there late because I'm getting a ride to be there on time but the person who stayed there was there till almost 6:00 by the time I got there but I want to thank staff the volunteers very much so with his neutering because he healed well it was a great neutering job they're the best. I also want to thank the volunteer Nancy who gave me the or the follow-up to go to the program that's over off of 25th and minnehaha where I was able to obtain a voucher for squirts the second neutering.thank you again Nancy and all the volunteers and all the staff for doing the work that they do for all the animals here in North and South Minneapolis and for wherever other people are coming from. I've also added a picture of Squirt the one who was just neutered
