How to Save Money at High Ridge 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.

I have been going here for years for my two female dogs. The doctors are AMAZING and my girls love them! My smaller yorkie just had surgery and had all her teeth removed. They treated her like a princess and explained every step to me. I would highly recommend High Ridge Animal Hospital for your fur babies.

We adore Dr. Shattuck and the staff at High Ridge. They are equally kind to both pet and owner. My dog Oliver loves the treats and attention he gets, and I’m so appreciative of their Fear Free approach to handling my little pup. Dr. Shattuck is so knowledgable, compassionate, and thorough, and she always takes her time in the exam room with us. I can’t recommend High Ridge enough!

We had a really rough couple of weeks with our dog after an IVDD flareup. I was so comforted and relieved to know that my primary vet was willing and able to provide maintenance meds for him. We are so happy at High Ridge where our boy gets all his care under one roof!

All of the veterinarians and technicians that we have worked with over the past 7 years have been very professional, knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, communicative, and helpful. We believe that the relationship between pet owners and veterinary staff is a partnership where we discuss the pros and cons of all treatment options and come up with the best plan available that makes sense for the disposition and well being of the animal - with their quality of life always being paramount. The office staff is equally professional, kind, compassionate, patient, and helpful. I believe that my beloved animals (and my husband and I as their parents!) are in very capable and caring hands at High Ridge Animal Hospital.

Every time I come to (or even just call) High Ridge Animal Hospital I feel listened to, taken care of, and that my dog will receive the best possible treatment. My dog is also incredibly anxious when coming to the vet, working himself into a tizzy every single time, and every single time he is met with compassion which does not go unnoticed.
