How to Save Money at St Francis 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.

Dr. Beth Arnold and her staff have been exceptional with our dogs BLUE, SWEETIE, SOPHIE, and MARLOW. They show vested interest in the health and care of our furbabies.

Dr. Arnold has been my vet for many years… so thrilled that she is the new owner of Small Miracles Animal Hospital. Recently had my 180lb fearful Newfound in to prepare for surgery to remove a mass on his head. Everyone went above a beyond to make Ozzie feel calm and relaxed! The had a pup cup… or a bowl rather… to keep him happy and preoccupied while his pre surgery blood work was done! Dr. Arnold and her team worked so well together…they moved quickly and efficiently to make the visit calm and carefree. He will head back to have his mass removal in a few short weeks. I have no worries that I will be leaving my best pal in loving, compassionate,and professional hands.

The vets and techs are always so kind and caring, to both me and my cat! They use fear free tactics, which makes it a lot easier on my boy as well. The compassion they show and their willingness to answer questions (and I have a lot of them!) makes the choice to go to Small Miracles very easy.

My puppy gets very nervous they made him feel so comfortable. They took time an patience. This is Chip now an he is only healthy because this place takes the time to answer my questions an educate me. I'm so happy an grateful for all they do for me. I feel sometimes like a bad mom but they always are positive an reassure me I'm doing my best!!!
