How to Save Money at ABC Animal Clinic and 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. Snodgrass and his assistant always treat us and our pets respectfully and compassionately. We have brought our cat for spaying and then our senior dog to this clinic and they have been great. Helpful and professional, we will continue to bring our menagerie to this place.

Dr. Snodgrass is AMAZING!! He had taken care of all my dogs with the greatest kindness I've ever seen. He's so gentle and takes the time to explain not only the big things my dog needs, but also the little things I can do to help her heal faster. He takes the time to remember my name and the names and conditions of each dog I've brought to him. Jupiter, my dog I had since I was 16, (I lost her when I was 31) had many health issues toward the end of her life and Dr. Snodgrass was so compassionate to me and Jupiter when I had to have my sweet baby girl put to sleep. (Oh and all the techs are just as gentle and caring. **EVERY TECH** came to the room to say goodbye, pet and love on Jupiter before she was gone.) She knew she was loved. Dr. Snodgrass fought so hard for her and even called after hours to tell me what was going on and how she was doing. And now he's taking care of my Sacha. He is such a caring, gentle doctor, and the techs are done pic the most tender hearted, loving people I've ever met. I will never takeany of my pets anywhere else! The solid white dog is Jupiter, and the one with little brown ears is Sacha

I had been going to Dr Snodgrass since 2011. He’s taken care of all my fur babies. Unfortunately, I will have to find another vet. Nothing to do with his skill or ability as an outstanding vet but because his employee and vet tech KAREN has hung up the phone on me three times during times of conflict. My schedule is hard to clear up to be able to make it by 3;30. Most vet’s offices stay open until at least 5. This is the issue. However Karen was EXTREMELY hateful and exhausting. CHOOSE ANOTHER VET. The customer service here is greatly lacking. My advice to ABC is to fire Karen. I for one and finding another vet solely due to Karen.

I had to wait about 15-20 minutes after my appointment for someone to come out and get my kitten for her first booster. The clinic was super busy and a long line outside when I parked. Prices are very affordable I was glad my fur-baby could get her nails trimmed. She did get a fever and was not feeling well for the next 24 hours but that was expected. I hope the next booster effects are not as bad. Thanks for taking care of my kitty.

This was one of the most positive vet experiences I've ever had. To say the staff and veterinarian was patient with me is an understatement. They really listened to my concerns and talked about options. The facility was CLEAN and they were transparent with pricing. I appreciate everything so much!
