How to Save Money at Bedrock Veterinary Specialists

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.

Our 9 year old chocolate lab, Molly, had to have TPLO surgery for a torn CCL. Bedrock Veterinary Specialists was highly recommended to us by our vet and we couldn’t be happier that we took her here. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The facility was beautiful and clean. I love that they decorate the exam room doors with the pet names and made it feel so welcoming (for both Molly and me as an anxious dog mom). Dr. Batchelor performed the surgery and everything went so smoothly from the time we took her in to the time we were cleared/recovered. The team took excellent care of my girl and we were provided with great care instructions, they answered our (many) questions, and were available for us the whole time if we needed anything. I would highly recommend Bedrock Veterinary Specialists!

Our baby had to have surgery and we were very nervous. The staff was very professional and kept constant contact with us before, during and after the procedure. I highly recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Our girl is always smiling when we enter into the establishment. Great experience.

Amazing staff, amazing facility, and amazing support. My 1.5yo Aussiedoodle just had a SDF repair with Dr. Courtney Batchelor here and we could not recommend this office more. They provided ample support during surgery and recovery and my dog leaves with his tail wagging every time.

Nice facility & helpful staff. We had to bring our doggo for a second opinion separate from our vet. Very comfortable atmosphere, professional staff and the vet surgeon was very clear giving us info and options.
