How to Save Money at Pinnacle Valley WestRock 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.

Chose Pinnacle Valley animal clinic because my cat needed grooming and they ensured me that they could do a light sedation to get my somewhat difficult cat to comply. Then I was told the Lion shave would be so cute… 🫣…. First picture my mainecoon cat with her normal hair … rest of them after they got done with her 😢… look up a lions cut , one will see it does NOT look like that…. I could cry every day I placed my trust in peoples hands that would not reconsider NOT doing something they were not able to do… and making decisions without asking me again after they discovered they could not do the right thing….. and charged me 85 dollars for a chop job gone way wrong 😞😞

Great practice. The Lavergnes go above and beyond, calling to check on my dog when she has something complicated going on. Dr. Sonya has worked with me to keep my extremely fearful dog's visits short, kind, and efficient while still being thorough. Did a great job diagnosing her, too. I haven't known Dr. Rene as long, but I've known Dr. Sonya for many years and she's the best diagnostician I've encountered in Little Rock.

Words cannot describe the gratitude my husband and I have for Dr. Sonia. From the beginning of our beloved Maggio's diagnosis of osteosarcoma on July 3 to when she came to our home yesterday to assist him across the rainbow bridge, we don't even have the words. We were those dog parents that called with questions , and questions, and questions... She would always return our calls and provide us with answers. She even called at 7:30 in the morning once and 6:00pm another time. We are so blessed our beautiful boy was under her loving and kind care. Thank you. This is going to take us all, including Angelo, our other Aussie who was present at Maggio's passing, a while, if not forever to grieve. We will remember the happy silly things he did. Like how excited he got when the Bark Box arrived. We will also never forget your kindness and the support of your staff.

If I could do 0 stars I would. Terrible customer service. I called about a week ago and was left on hold for nearly 30 minutes. The prices have sky rocketed for basic appointments, and the male vet was very rude. However the female vet was very pleasant and understanding. I hope she takes the leadership role in this business. After being a strong supporting customer for nearly 15 years, I will be taking my business elsewhere. I should’ve figured something was wrong when all of the original vets and staff left. The staff that was there before this “take over” was caring and knew pets well. It’s sad to see what this place has become. Also to ownership: When you “merge” with a company the least you can do is send an email letting us know that everything is being switched over to new ownership. This felt like slapping the name of West Rock on Pinnacle Valley Animal Hospital. When really it’s just West Rock taking over.
