How to Save Money at Idaho Equine 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.

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.

The staff here is excellent and caring. Liz Scott is the best reproduction vet I've ever worked with! They saved my stallion prospect who arrived with a broken ankle, and helped me say goodbye to an aged mare who was struggling, with kindness and compassion. Even though they are a large clinic, they have the feel of a small town vet that knows your name and treats you like family. Update: I had a preterm mare I rushed to the clinic this spring, and we were able to get to full term under I.E's care, so grateful! And today Liz confirmed 2 mares in foal for me! Thank you for excellent service again and again :)

Great place to take your horse when they are sick. They get very good care 24/7. Seems to work like a well oiled machine. Better than human doctors and offices. So helpful. They call you and keep in touch with you so you know what's going on.

While I was out of town, my neighbor had to bring my horse to Idaho equine. He had gotten stuck in their fence with barbed wire wrapped around one leg. The vet talked to me on the phone, my horse was very well cared for and everything was explained to me. Sutures and bandages on three legs. 10 days later my horse was seen for recheck and suture removal. The staff are very efficient and informative. Very, very pleased with the care and knowledge of the staff.

I've been here too many times to count. My horses and I have always had an amazing experience. The entire team treats you with respect and kindness. They truly care about our equines. Most recently Liz and team helped to save my pony's eye. He had a laceration and not the best chances, but we saved it. Thank you IEH! We are so lucky to have you in the treasure valley!
