How to Save Money at Claycomo 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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.

This hospital has taken care of everyone of our pets I've had my entire life. They are personable and try to be cost conscious. I love the phone calls and cards you receive when your family member passes or is ill. They are very thoughtful and caring with their customers. Great with hard to handle cats. I'm sure it's not their favorite, but they do a great job making it as comfortable as it can be for all involved.

Susan, Emily and Dr Roach are absolutely amazing. I have been taking my animals there for 8 years. They are upfront and honest, always do their best to accommodate their clients and have a true passion for helping our babies live their best lives. I highly recommend Claycomo Animal Hospital for all of your veterinary needs.

Profoundly disappointed. We took our very sick huskador, Sierra, who had been vomiting for a month, to see Dr. Justin W. Roach, upon the recomendation of our regular vet. Our regular vet, Dr. Kathy J. Harris of Ray County Animal Hospital, lacked equipment to do any tests so we went to see Dr. Roach. Dr. Roach took a couple of x-rays and did blood work and could not find any issues. He also tested for Addison's disease, which came back negative. Dr. Roach advised us to get Sierra scoped at another vet, but he said that was going to run between $1500-$2000. We already paid him $1200 with no diagnosis or even an idea of what was wrong. The problem is we cannot afford to go see another vet and pay $2000 and walk away with no diagnosis or any possible treatment. My wife and myself feel cheated by the cost of service with nothing to show. I am glad to see all of the positive reviews for this vet, but we are very disappointed with with our outcome. What are we supposed to do now? I am not affiliated with any other veterinarian and have no reason to post this review other than we were ripped off.
