How to Save Money at Garden Valley 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.

Everyone at Garden Valley (from the front desk to the techs to the vets) are EXCEPTIONAL. They always take the time to explain everything clearly, never push unnecessary treatments, and genuinely care about what is best for the animals in their care (even if it doesn’t make them a dime). They’ve provided the best care possible.

For one thing, my dog sings very happy.When I pick him up he's not upset or anything.He's seems to enjoy being there and he's stayed in the boarding twice now. I've also used the grooming and they've done a great job with him.He's a very not social dog but he seems to get along with them very well which makes me glad

We have taken our 3 dogs to Garden Valley vet hospital for 2+ years now and we trust all the vets (and their entire staff) completely with our furry kids. Vet services, grooming and boarding - all good experiences and they proactively give us the opportunity to streamline services when possible so we can reduce the number of individual visits. Love that! They are always genuinely interested in making sure each dog is as comfortable as possible in every appointment. One dog is always terrified and wackadoo ;-), one dog is blind and always unsure where he is, and one dog always loves to go in and wiggle up to everyone in sight. Still, each one gets extra special treatment. I can't say how much I appreciate that kindness. The one dog who gets grooming runs in like it's a playground. We rarely board our dogs, but now feel completely confident that they are in good hands when we have to. We couldn't ask for better overall care for our 'brat pack'. :-)

Finn went in to updates shots before boarding. They are always very kind and helpful when we go. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a vet in the area.

This is the first review i have ever written, and i hope my last one. I hope i save you time and money. I brought my kitten in the day after i got her from petsmart, i have had a lot of cats in my life so this is protocol for me since shelter animals usually have something. Brought my other cat in with her, got told my kitten was fine even though she had eye discharge and it was partially swollen, meanwhile my older cat had really bad eye mucus/ discharge that was every color of the rainbow and got told and charged $70 for them to tell me she has allergies. Took my kitten in the next week to get her shots. They then diagnosed her with a slight URI, an eye infection, and worms, i think this bill was around $300. So now back to my other cat with “allergies” a month after that visit her eye was swollen shut and pouring out liquid, she had conjunctivitis. Got the eye drops those “allergy” eyeboogers they initially claimed never came back. That visit was probably around $150. My kitten with worms the fecal sample alone was $70 which is pretty standard. They gave me a dewormer for 1 week and said to do another fecal sample. When i transferred vets cause my kitten still had worms this vet told me that it takes usually 10-14 days to clear the kind of worm she had. These vets also told me they have never seen a case where it was transferred to another cat, guess what it transferred to my adult one.They consistently misdiagnosed my cats and i had to keep brining them back for them to get diagnosed for something that i already knew wasn’t right in the first place. Seems like all they want is money. For my cat to get dental cleaning and teeth removed they quoted me roughly $1400. Went to a different vet and got quoted $800. From July to September i spent close to a $1000 which shouldn’t have been the case cause they should have diagnosed my cats in the first place. When we switched vets the new vet was mind blown that they never showed me my kittens paper work or my older cats bloodwork, apparently that’s a standard that garden valley doesn’t hold.Not to mention back in 2016 they told my mom her cat had a non cancerous tumor and my mom had it removed, her cat died and i believe it was 98% survival rate. This cat was four years old, even with new owners and vets they’re still terrible.
