How to Save Money at Riversong Veterinary Clinic

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.

Cannot thank Dr Anne and her team enough for all the loving care they gave our Golden Retriever Jake over the years. Jake was found unresponsive in his crate Monday morning and Riversong immediately admitted him for CPR to try and revive him. Sadly, it was too late for Jake and he passed in our arms - but we know that Dr Anne, Renee and Hannah did all they possibly could for our sweet boy. Their determination and commitment to try and save Jake was second to none and it has given us such comfort that they went above and beyond. Riversong are wonderful and the best vet practice I’ve trusted my Golden Retriever family with over the years. Brevard is extremely fortunate to have them!

I've been searching for a vet for awhile, hoping to find one that treats the whole dog and doesn't just throw drugs at a problem. So glad I found Riversong, and they do just that. Dr. Maggie was so gentle and kind with my fearful senior dog that we were able to have pleasant vet visits and even do chiro and acupuncture. I'm glad I've found someone I can trust with all 3 of my precious dogs health. The practice is also very clean and quiet.

This is such a great clinic with exceptional staff. I was in the area from out of town with my elder dog and needed some unexpected care. They took very good care of my old girl, treating her with gentle respect. So glad they were available and I didn’t need to make a trip to emergency care. 100% recommend these folks.

Dr Anne and the team are the BEST! We adopted a golden retriever puppy over the weekend, and needed to get him checked at short notice as he an eye irritation . Riversong were able to fit us in the same day, and provided him with the best possible care. His eye is already improving and the puppy is thriving. Highly recommend them - my golden family of three (Jake, Maddie and Finn) are in great hands!
