How to Save Money at True North Veterinary 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.

The care & compassion here is genuine. Every visit feels like you are the only patient that day because there is no rushing. All questions & concerns are always answered, so when you leave, you understand everything. It's just a wonderful place for your loving fur baby. I wish I could find a Dr. For myself, like Dr. Kate. The staff is also just as loving & kind. I have been a client of hers for almost a decade & will be for another. Olive & her amazing doctor, Dr. Kate B ♥️

Dr. Kate, Dr. Goldberg who saw Lola, and the rest of the staff at True North are not only experienced. They are patient, dedicated, respectful animal lovers and I trust them to care for our most loyal companion on this planet. Thank you for always treating our pup with love and respect. She is never nervous during an exam and was even low wagging her tail while Dr.Golberg was trying repeatedly to draw blood. That speaks to the type of environment you provide at True North. Even the animals feel "ok" at their doctor's. Thank you!!

First thing I want to address is my poor veterinary hospital etiquette. I’m truly sorry that I let my new cat friend whom I just caught loose in your hospital lobby while 17 puppies were coming in for a much more important reason. (I really am sorry and have learned a lot about veterinary hospital etiquette and it was a very big learning experience. For all of us). I am truly thankful that you took time out of the very very busy day to help me out with my new friend. It means the world to me.

We trust Dr. Kate and staff fully with our two pups. They are amazing and it is such a comfort to know they are so well cared for.

I can not say enough good things about Dr. Kate and the staff at True North veterinary hospital. I have never met a kinder, more attentive group of humans in my life. Every time we come, we are warmly welcomed and I automatically know my dog is in great hands. Recently we took our dog in to be spayed. Tech Leah met us at the door and immediately put my nerves at ease. She scooped my dog into her arms and immediately treated her like her own dog. We were kept updated throughout the entire procedure, and Dr Kate called us personally to let us know that our dog went through surgery perfectly and was resting comfortably. When we arrived to pick up our dog, she was receiving all the cuddles from Leah. There is something to be said for quality care and kind humans and True north has both! This is the best vet in the area!!
