How to Save Money at Cornerstone 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.

We love Dr Burke and wouldn't go anywhere else. We had to send our sweet boy to the Rainbow Bridge🌈 yesterday and Dr Burke was so compassionate and I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to send him. He loved our Rocky too. Thank you for making this awful goodbye alittle easier. Dennis, Tina and Luca Webb ❣️

i have only been here twice but i always walk out of cornerstone relieved that my cranky dog is able to get the care he needs in one visit. i told them he’s very difficult at the vet before my recent visit and they promptly prescribed sedatives so i was able to have them ready the next day. i had avoided taking my dog to the vet for an issue in fear of breaking the bank but my heart skipped a beat in the best way when i walked out owing less than 150 for not 1, but 2, issues. i also spent less than 2 hours there when i had prepared to take the whole day off. dr. piper was great!! so efficient and did not passive aggressively shame me for waiting so long to deal with this issue. he thoroughly explained everything that was going on to me, complete with drawings and pictures of what he was seeing. i loved and appreciated that so much.

I trust Dr.Burke with my fur-babies lives! I moved out of state and couldn’t find quality care so I would often reach out to Dr.Burke on email and he has always been responsive and so helpful! He will never suggest meds that are not required and always looks for a holistic approach for pets and their quality of life. I’m fortunate to have come across Dr.Burke and established care under him.

Dr Burke is the best veterinarian we have encountered...ever! Knowledgeable, caring, explains comprehensively. Staff of techs and front desk are great to deal with.

Dr Burke is THE best. He's super honest and always makes sure your money is well spent. My family has been seeing him for over 20 years! We took our family dogs to him when I was a kid and I take mine to see him now. You can tell he still loves his job and all the animals even after all these years.
