How to Save Money at North Star 410 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.

Getting 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.

Everyone is so nice, the front staff acknowledged us right away, we were updated on when we'd be seen. The guy in front went above my expectations when my pregnant Sable had an accident and he cleaned it up with such niceness and understanding. All the techs and Dr. Ramsey were extremely nice and I'm always treated well along with my fur babies too. I was super excited that I was able to see my Baby's babies in her belly, that was amazing for me. It's my dogs 1st pregnancy and my 1st time experiencing this as well. I thank the ENTIRE staff, keep up the great work! 💙🐾

Very friendly staff that obviously cares about the animals. I’ve been with Dr. Ramsey for over 20 years. Having him back in his old office has been great! Meeting lots of new faces and every one has a big smile on it! Adriana up front is a great asset to the team. Didn’t catch the tech’s name, but she was great with my two babies and they both have quite a bit of Diva in them!

We had a wonderful experience. They got me in same day. The staff was wonderful. I love the veterinarian. They gushed over my dog telling me how cutie was, lol! I recommend them 10 out of 10 stars. They were fantastic.

Phenomenal Veterinarians, Technicians, and Staff! We had a kitten emergency, and then the same week my older cat had an open wound. My vet wasn’t unavailable at the time and we got referred here. What a stroke of luck! This is definitely the place where all my pets will be seen. My daughters and I were welcomed with open arms and the staff showed so much patience for my little ones. I’m so blessed to have found this place!

Thank you Dr. Sarah Grose for your excellent care and compassion for our Jaxson. The staff, extremely kind/considerate, and the set up for helping Jaxson cross the rainbow bridge was private / and quiet to allow the time we needed with our boy. This is just one of the “hard parts” of being a veterinarian. Dr Grose handled it perfectly. If you want an educated, honest veterinarian - I highly recommend her. We need veterinarians to help our furbabies live their best life and leave it with the comfort/care they deserve.
