Testimonials

<div>At Blue Springs Animal Hospital and Pet Resort, we take pride in offering the best care to our patients and their pet parents. You can expect that we will:</div><div>- Provide the most modern, progressive care through a team of highly educated doctors and staff. Our doctors and technicians each attend continuing education conferences and meetings every year to make sure we are on the cutting edge of veterinary medicine.</div><div>- Provide an estimate for the care we are recommending. Finances are always a difficult part of any pet care conversation, and we can provide/will offer different care options when needed.</div><div><span style="background-color: transparent;">- Communicate your pet’s diagnosis clearly and answer your questions to the best of our ability.</span></div><div>- Be open and honest about how your pet is responding to treatment and the expected prognosis. Open communication is vital to providing the best possible care.</div><div>- Be empathetic. Our pets are like furry four-legged children, and we know how hard it can be when they are sick. - We empathize with you when they aren’t feeling well.</div><div>- Provide a clean, comfortable environment for you and your pet.</div><div>- Accurately inform you of hospital and Pet Resort policies and procedures.</div><div>- Make every effort to be on time for your appointment. If emergencies or other unforeseen circumstances will make us delayed, we will inform you as to when we will be available. If waiting is not an option, we can offer an appointment with another doctor, or to admit/drop off your pet for your doctor’s first availability. We can also reschedule your appointment if that is most convenient for you.</div><div><br></div>

<div>Since pet care is a partnership, our clients also have some responsibilities. As a client, we ask that you help us in the following areas:</div><div>- Treat our doctors and staff with respect.</div><div>- Express your concerns so your doctor knows and can address them directly. Communicating your and your pet’s needs before, during, and after an appointment is critical in providing the best care.</div><div>- Disclose relevant, accurate, and complete information about your pet’s health and history.</div><div>- Make prompt payment. Our costs are incurred as services are rendered. In order to continue providing these services we must cover those costs.</div><div>- Follow administrative and operational protocols such as on-time arrival for appointments, health requirements for Pet Resort services, leashing requirements, and visiting hours.</div><div>- Recognize that medical care is rarely 100% certain. No medication or medical procedure is always effective, and complications can and do arise that are beyond our control. We will work with you in following up with any complications and will always act in both your and your pet’s best interest.</div>

<p>Here at PETS Referral Center, we accept many different payment options, including all major Credit cards, Cash, CareCredit, Scratchpay, Trupanion Vet Direct Pay, and other major insurances.</p>

<p>It goes without saying that we embrace dogs, cats, and other companion animals as full-fledged family members. Many of us scrutinize pet food labels to pick healthy choices, scour the pet supply store for just the right bed and delight in treating them to oodles of toys. Yet, as concerned as we are about their health and well-being, many of us don’t have the finances in place to care for our pet in the event of an emergency of a catastrophic event. That’s where pet insurance comes in. You don’t have to have that awful conversation with your spouse, “Do we pay the mortgage or Fluffy’s surgery?” Many insurance companies have low monthly payments with reasonable deductibles. Some companies can approve claims in a matter of minutes while you’re standing at the front desk of the emergency room with Fluffy waiting in the back. Please note, most animal insurance companies require a waiting period before coverage starts.</p><p></p><p><strong>A Few Benefits of Pet Health Insurance:</strong></p><p>Empowers pet owners to not have to choose between their financial stability and their pet’s life. Relieves pet owners of stress and allows them to focus on the ongoing health of their pet, rather than the costs of their care. Some companies pay for life-long medication that is associated with a covered claim. In an emergency, some deductibles can be supplemented with CareCredit.</p>
