How to Save Money at Riverton Veterinary Clinic

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.

We take all five of our dogs here and absolutely love it! They always call us back the same day with any concerns. We knew the previous owners and it's been a smooth adjustment to the new management. Couldn't be more happy with the care of our fur babies.

I've unfortunately only had 2 experiences here and both were end of life care for my cat and dog. The vets and techs there were very kind and understanding. The only negative was I couldn't get an out thebdoor price on the service over the phone because I didn't want a "package" and opted to take my animals home afterwards with me BUT they were able to get me in very quickly and again, they were very kind, They spoke kindly of my animals during the process and reassured me I was making the best choice for them. I hopefully won't have to go back for a while but when I have vet needs for my fur babies, I know who I will always call.

I have used Riverton Vet off and on for many years. They typically are a bit more costly so I don't use them as often for routine things. However, after several agonizing weeks, I decided it was time to make the appointment to put down my 15 1/2 year old dachshund. I have used them once before and thought they did a good job so I wanted to use them again. When I tried to make the appointment, they told me that I would first have to do a wellness appointment to confirm that this wasn't a "convenience euthanasia" and that if the doctor determined anything that could improve his quality of life we would need to try that before they would agree to the euthanasia. I was appaled, and incredibly offended. I have had this dog since a pup, their records show that, and to suggest I'd put him down for my own convenience is horrible. This struck me as a money grab, and "punishment" for using other vet offices, and to take advantage of an already emotionally charged situation, and as a result, would put my dog through, likely weeks, of unnecessary stress before reaching the same conclusion I have. They even denied my request to have his vet records sent over instead. I could understand this if he was a young dog, but sadly, he is not. Thankfully, we have found a more compassionate vet office. I can only hope Riverton Vet can take a hard look at their policies for others in similar situations.

When I first moved to UT I initially took my cat to Riverton Veterinarian Clinic as it was close to home. It was a nightmare. On my first visit the veterinarian wasn't even familiar with the very common medication that my cat was prescribed by our previous vet in TX. They said that they had never heard of the medication. (Even I had heard of it prior to my cat taking it because humans can also take it.) Instead, they were recommending a medication that my previous vet told me was found to be dangerous for cats hence the reason for the current medication my cat was on. They were obviously not up-to-date with the current medical care for cats. Also, they were unable to do a basic lion cut on my Persian. Poor kitty had a very bad haircut for months until it grew out! On my first visit there was dog poop on the floor immediately when I entered right by the front desk. They weren't rushing to clean it up despite the fact that they weren't busy & I was the only customer there in the waiting room. I quickly found Lone Peak Veterinary Hospital in Draper & I haven't looked back since!
