How to Save Money at Calm Animal Care
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.

One always wants a Vet who treats their pets as if they were their own! Calm Animal Care is that and much much more. You will not be sorry and your pets will be just that much better if you use them. For both general well being check up and the unfortunate emergency care they always give their best and make sure your that the cat (or any other animal) is treated with love, tenderness and the best health care that can be given. I will give a shout out for Rachel and her vet tech about going above and beyond what is expected. Her enthusiasm and thoughtfulness in explaining everything about your animal while listening and answering all questions was just perfect. Making suggestions and printing out guidance sheets was just the icing on the cake to make our "cat children" feel stress free and their lives maybe just that much better. Thank You for the care you gave to both Poppy and Jasmine

We've used Calm Animal Care since 2018. They took excellent care of our older dogs (Boston Terrier and a Border Collie). They took very good care of them, and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a veterinarian.

I have been taking my two Basset Hounds to Calm Animal Care for about 4 years. I found the clinic searching for a veterinarian who practiced chiropractic care. When I took Bella, she was really struggling to use her back legs. After a few visits for chiropractic care and acupuncture with Dr. Calm, Bella was just about 100% back to her normal self. The entire staff is wonderful. I cannot thank them enough for the love and compassion they give to my hounds and to myself.

Within a few months of moving to MT, we had to say goodbye to two of our shepherds, both very different situations. The compassion and understanding exuded by every single member of the Calm Animal Care team was above and beyond. When we brought our new puppy, every person was so genuinely happy for us that we got to start a new chapter, and that meant so much. The care our animals receive is wonderful (new puppy has already been in with an allergic reaction and is shortly going in to be spayed). I highly recommend Calm Animal Care- the entire team is wonderful!

All the staff at this company is amazing that take care of the animals. They saved my dog 2 times from surgery because he likes to eat stuff. But the Front desk lady I have never seen such very unprofessional and rude person in my life but as far as everything else goes the owner and all. The other staff are amazing thank you.
