How to Save Money at Vet Partners Minneapolis

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.

EDIT 9/6/22: I had both my cats in for their annual exams recently. It was a great experience, my one cat has been fractious/aggressive at my last clinic, and he was able to be happy and eat treats during his shots and exam WHICH IS SO HUGE. Dr Blohm and her techs were so amazing. 5 stars. I had a wonderful first visit at Vet Partners. Everyone was friendly, the facility was clean and smelled nice, and the staff and doctors were clearly operating with Fear Free techniques! My foster dog even got to come with to the visit and have a "victory visit" which was amazing because she has never had a good experience at a vet!

Just transferred my two cats here as we adopted a new rescue pup. Old vet was just too far out of the city and was becoming more difficult to get timely appointments. So far we’ve had our puppy in with both Dr. Covi and Dr. Lloyd for a routine exam, vaccines and a separate hernia check. Older kitty was also seen by Dr. Lloyd for an ear injury and basic geriatric feline needs. They were accommodating in allowing us to bring both pets in at the same time when more urgent care was needed. Both experiences were very pleasant and both vets took time to answer all of our questions in detail. They were clear about pricing and didn’t try to upsell us on unnecessary procedures treatments, but were honest about possibilities. The staff and vet techs we’ve connected with thus far have been knowledgeable, patient and affectionate with our fur babies. The environment is clean, calm and professional. The PetDesk phone app is handy for making requests and updating records as well. Grateful to have found a trustworthy, downtown vet hospital, five minutes from home! Final puppy series vax is coming up and then it’s on to getting kitty #2 updated. Looking forward to more positive experiences here! Edit 2.3.22- had a post emergency eye check, follow up vaccines and heartworm for puppers and geriatric blood work done on female kitty to ensure her meds won’t interact harshly with her low grade kidney failure. Everything went well and we are extremely confident that the veterinary care at VetPartners is going to be a part of our family’s healthcare for as long as we are in Mpls.

We took our dogs to Vet Partners. All the techs and Dr. Lloyd were easy to work with, knowledgeable and incredibly friendly with our two dogs. Dr. Lloyd was wonderful in quickly diagnosing one of our dogs with Addison's Disease and supported our plan to find the best resources for her. Unfortunately we moved away from the area and have yet to find another vet as reliable, well priced and supportive as Vet Partners of Minneapolis. We miss them!

Everyone was so nice! Very competent vet and vet techs who knew what they were doing and enjoyed it too. 11/10 2 year edit: still go here, still love it. Dog not afraid to go to the vet. She’s had a tumor removed, had annual check ups, vaccines, etc. Worth the price.
