How to Save Money at Corner Vet of Sterlington
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.

Today I said goodbye to my best friend, I will forever love you Timmy! Thank you to the staff for the wonderful experience, you guys made the whole process seamless for us. You'll always be loved Timmy 10/08 to 4/6/23 I'd like to iterate how professional and loving the staff were at the vet. I can't believe the quality of service and care they provided us. Month before today's visit, they educated us on Timmy's prognosis, gave us options in advance and prepared us for what was to come. When the time came to bring Tim in, they prepared us again, gave us a room, sat down and comforted us, and gave us plenty of time to say our last goodbyes. At the end they surprised us with paw and nose prints of Timmy so that her memory could live in our homes forever. They shared so many uplifting and warm messages throughout the experience and even shared relatable stories with us. A teacher of mine once said you don't get praise for doing what you were supposed to do, instead you get praise for going above and beyond what was asked of you and I can say the corner vet of sterlington deserves all the praise. My cat was 14 and half years, she's been with me through so much, I couldn't imagine her being with anyone more loving and caring than the staff here, so yes I highly recommend this vet.

Dr. West and team have done a great job taking care of our dogs. They always take extra time to talk to us and make sure that we are well informed and fully understand everything to not only care for our pets but help to make us better owners too.

We have found our home at Corner Vet of Sterlington! We expect our vet and the staff to treat our babies like the children that they are to us. Every time we’ve gone, our girls are taken care of wonderfully, we are treated like family and our girls are spoiled and loved on by everyone! We could not be happier and honestly, when it comes to our babies, we can be very hard to please. When they had a routine dental we were called by staff to let us know their procedure went great and that Dr. West would be calling shortly. Dr. West, in fact, called and was very thorough and informative. She is wonderful, the staff is wonderful and the facility is wonderful!

I had visited several other clinics in the area, and felt right at home with my Yorkie from my first appointment at Corner Vet. The staff is courteous, knowledgeable, and they genuinely care! If you’re looking for cleanliness, and prompt professional service, you won’t be disappointed!

The team at Corner Vet has been wonderful to our cat! She’s had several health problems including severe respiratory infections, an eye removal and a broken leg. They have taken such great care of her! Dr. Baessler has gone above and beyond for her and has been so good about giving us updates daily, explaining the procedures and risks and trying everything he can to make her well. I can’t say enough good things about him and the teams at this clinic in both locations. They treat your pets like their own!
