How to Save Money at West Jordan Veterinary 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.

They took great care of my male German Shepard that had an accident running the fence. They took him that day when I called and explained what happened. Their intake and post care instructions are excellent and love that the Dr called me to let me know how my boy did and scenarios that I may or may not encounter with his healing. They consistently take great care of my boy. One of the very best vets here in Utah!

We've been bringing our dogs here for years. They have taken care of them when sick and healthy. Most of the time they are very competent. A few years ago an extended family member brought their dog here and received care that ultimately may have cause her death. We continued to bring our dogs and had a litter of puppies this summer, 2 of the 8 puppies survived. This vet did not have time in their day to do a c-section so they sent us home with meds that would hopefully progress her labor. Ultimately that delay may have cost the life of three little babies. We followed up with dew claw removal and a physical for the two puppies left. It was a 75% success rate for the dew claw removal. They now want to give is a discounted (down to $400) surgery to remove the dew claw that they messed up in the first place. Though it seems to me that we already paid them to remove it once and they couldn't do it completely. The quality of care is so hit and miss here. You may have a good experience...or you may not.

First impressions are pretty important ❤️ the visit with the doctor and the vet assistant was wonderful and they were very thorough about explaining everything that my cats needed. I'm really happy that your office accepts care credit because that was also a life saver. I am giving 4 stars because the person that checked people in could have been a little more welcoming as it kinda felt like I was just another dollar sign walking through the door. Overall, great place

Justin was very helpful. He explained what my puppy should and shouldn't eat and got her up to date on her vaccinations. They only charged me $80 for the visit and $31 for the shots. They are great staff and I'll be getting my puppy spayed here

I brought my cavalier kings Charles spaniel to West Jordan Veterinary Hospital for his annual wellness exam and vaccinations. Prior to the appointment, I emailed the hospital a copy of my dog’s vaccination records. I had to remind the doctor (multiple times) to provide my dog with his annual lepto shot…shot was completed. Additionally, I had to ask several times for a fecal sample…they did provide an at home testing tube. The doctor asked if my dog had completed a heartworm test and I informed the doctor that my prior vet completed full blood work on my dog the previous year. However, the doctor failed to complete a heartworm test during my dog’s annual wellness exam. Moreover, I had to schedule an appointment with another doctor to complete my dog’s complete wellness exam including a heartworm test. Response to owner response: You provided a tube for my dog's fecal sample (refer to picture) aka at home testing tube. I've chosen not to bring the sample into your office. I've tried to resolve this with you (via email) prior to scheduling another appointment with a different vet. I appreciate your response.
