How to Save Money at Fort Street Veterinarian
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.

Wonderful team at Fort St. Vet! Very thorough care from Dr. Smith and the entire staff is great. They call to follow up on how medications are working and the doctor communicates with the neurologist caring for my pet. I needed a vet when I moved and I chose Fort St. based on the good reviews. The reviews did not steer me wrong so I wanted to pay it forward and share my experience!

The entire team at Fort Street Veterinarian is professional and responsive, but most importantly caring for your pet AND you as their family member. I often wish the doctors that take care of my human family members and me showed the same level of care, compassion, and understanding that we have experienced at Fort Street Veterinarian!

Because of our constant moving we are primarily a Banfield family. But there are just some things that we like to have checked by a local vet. I'm so glad we took our little Buzz to Fort Street Veterinarian. For the first time since before Covid, I was able to go into the examination room with my pup. I know that was helpful not only for me, but for him too. They were very thorough and explained things in a way that made sense. When test results were back the dr herself called me to go over the results and potential course of action going forward. I just overall had a great experience.

Dr. Jones was able to take a look at our sick fur baby right away. Our hearts were broken with the diagnosis that was given to us. Dr. Jones and her staff were very compassionate and very caring. They went above and beyond to help with Winnie's end if life crossing the rainbow bridge. Many thanks to Dr. Jones and her staff
