How to Save Money at Woodington Veterinary
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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.

Moved from McCall to the Valley 3 years ago. Woodington vet was recommended to me. I can't believe how stressful this whole ordeal has been for my pup & my family. My pup had a mass removed from his torso. I had asked if it was doable to clean his teeth while he was under anesthesia. The answer was yes. The day before, his surgery I received & reviewed the paperwork online and signed off. Included in paperwork I signed off saying if teeth needed extracted to contact me previously to pulling. Yes, being under sedation time is of the essence. I knew this, so I kept the phone with me (I've worked in medical field 30+yrs.). We arrived at Woodington at 7:15 a.m. Front desk ladies asked about paperwork and said I sent it in the day before all good. When tech came to get my pup, she asked if I would sign paper. Told her already did. She replied, "No big deal,"just sign. " I again stressed I wanted to be notified if teeth needed extracted. I signed. 14 /FOURTEEN teeth were extracted! Two things I need to make people aware of 1. Woodington vet does not have Xray equipment to view the mouth previous or after extractions. I was lead to believe they did. 2. You would think the vet would of followed up with me concerning my pups mass or extractions. You would think I would of received paperwork "nothning". There is alot more to this ordeal. Everyday I question myself & what the @#@#$@ happened. Dr. Woodington said they had a new system and there was a glitch. So my pup & I are paying for the lack of communication within there staff. I do plan after my pup recoups taken him in for dental xrays. Fragments/roots still remaining concern me and who knows what else. Dr. Woodington said he would address that if issues came up. I am not a new comer to dogs and teeth issues. Teeth can be saved. As I said there's WAY more to the story. Hard lesson learned. Anything besides maybe booster go somewhere else, please.

Woodington Veterinarian Clinic is the best compasionately and professionally, from the front office staff, to the technicians to the Veterinarians, you feel very confident that your pets are being cared for in the best way. They take great time to discuss your pet's needs and your concerns and you never feel that your questions are silly or you are being rushed through an appointment. Highly recommend them. Dr. Woodington and Dr. Witt are the best.

I've been taking my dog to Woodington for 4 years and everyone is absolutely wonderful. From top to bottom, they are all exceptionally competent, friendly and compassionate. Wouldn't take Scrappy anywhere else.

We have been going to Woodington Veterinary for the past 4 years for our two cats and have been very happy with the care that Dr Matt and Dr Erin have given to our family. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend Woodington Veterinary in Eagle ID.
