How to Save Money at East Valley Pet 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.

I've had a difficult time finding a good local veterinarian. I'm so happy to say I've found one. Dr. Troxel is kind, honest and gentle with the animals. She helped my 12 year old German Shepherd over the rainbow bridge awhile back. Each staff member made the experience the best they could considering the circumstances. I was so greatful to a place that would allow me to be with my girl as so many places expect you to drop them at the door. I would not drop my sick child with a doctor and I'm not f going to do that with a pet for any reason. Also I just took our new puppy Alfie in for his wellness exam and again a wonderful experience with Dr. Troxel and staff. You can also get an appointment here within a reasonable time, or walk in bit be prepared to wait. They are reliable, friendly and affordable. Thank you.

I highly recommend this veterinary practice, they were so kind and compassionate when I had to put my poor Sadie to sleep. I appreciate the front office girl Elivea who was so comforting to me as I dealt with this heartbreak.

I had to take my beloved cat in to be euthanized. The staff was compassionate. They made a horrible day better and provided me with a private exit.

My dog was a patient of Redlands East Valley Pet Hospital since 2011. She'd have her yearly check ups and care for whatever shenanigans she'd get herself into. On July 24th 2021, my dog unexpectedly passed away. I was heart broken. Learning that they offered cremation arrangements through a third party, my Husband and I brought our dog here for the last time. Upon arrival I was crying my heart out. My family member, my baby, had just passed away. I got zero compassion from the Vet. In fact, she told me, "there are other dogs out there. You can get another one." I asked her to please examine my dog because I was lost for answers. Why had this happened? I wanted some kind of understanding. The dr left, came back, said she believed it was heart failure. No where in all this is she ever showing any compassion. There was one woman at the front desk who was decent enough to ask me if my dog had a bad cough. She was at least trying to get me to feel like I was being helped. I can't stress enough how upset, heartbroken, and crying my eyes out I was. It would have been a completely different experience for me if the vet wouldn't have acted like this sorta thing happens all the time. No big deal. I'm sure as a Vet she had her share of animals passing away, but this was my first and I seriously needed to be consoled and I was not. Where was the kindness when I needed it most?
