How to Save Money at Edgefield Veterinary Hospital, LLC
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.

I’ve been going here for a while now and I still stand by Edgefield. I love my vets at this hospital. They care deeply for my animals and always treat them well. They’re quick to help and offer sick appointments that you don’t need to wait weeks for. They also won’t hesitate to let me know when my pet needs specialty or emergency attention. They’re excellent for a general practice vet and I will always recommend them.

They make every effort to get your pet in for an appointment even if you have an unexpected, last-minute concern. Each time I go there I am NEVER RUSHED. "Dr. Paula" takes as much time as my cat & I need to adequately address my pet's needs (EVEN if it means running-over into the next person's appointment by MANY MINUTES!!!)

Very kind staff and vets, Doctor Emily spayed my bunny and she is doing great and her incision looks great! My family was very nervous but when we talked to Emily we immediately calmed down. Thank you for taking great care of Kara!

2.5 Stars My significant has always taken his dog here and they have been great. So when we got a cat, I said I'd take over those responsibilities. This is where the stars drop. Bean came from an adoption center where cats freely roamed. Her first meet and greet appointment she also had a cold which included running eyes, sneezing, and scabs on her face. Maybe stress from a change of scenery. Treated it, all is good. The scabs did not go away and we didn't have any treatment for those, so I put regular antibiotic ointment on it. But when some would go away, new areas would pop up. I've had many animals, this is totally ringworm. But being a nurse myself and not wanting to imply a diagnosis, brought Bean to be looked at again by pros. She was given a prednisone shot and I brought her home. An allergy was suggested but the lesions "could be anything". That vet was really nice but I got home feeling a bit defeated looking at my kitty and the bald spots around her ear. The straw that broke the camel's back was my third visit. By this point, I had gotten ringworm on my leg. I included that information to both the receptionist and the tech. Without even looking at Beanie, who was in a mesh carrier, the vet declared it a food allergy. Offered to sell me hypoallergenic food. Suggested taking her off certain foods for weeks to pinpoint where the allergy was coming from. I feed her the same food her foster mom and the shelter was feeding her, not like the vet asked. I interjeted in this allergy hypothesis and stated that I got ringworm, which she seemed surprised to hear, despite telling a couple people already. Finally that was enough to look at my cat. Still looking at the scabs saying it looks like an allergy but "we'll test it just in case". Over a month later (they said it would be slow for results so that's fine) I got the phonecall that- surprise. It's been ringworm this whole time. It's been four months and it has finally gone away and her fur has grown back thanks to OTC treatments. But after the confirmed diagnosis a couple weeks ago I never received the followup call regarding treatment options. Either way, three visits, nearly a grand later. Whatever, I'll pay anything for my cat's wellbeing. But months of getting nowhere while she remained uncomfortable for something so common and treatable is bananas to me. I am glad that this place gets good reviews, that others had good experiences and my dog will be staying. But nursing 101- do an assessment and rule out the basics first. Why would a diet change the first line of defense? Is there a commission on the food or something? But most of all- if a cat comes in with small lesions and you don't even look at the cat? What even is that?

I have been taking my dog Felix to this veterinary practice his whole life (11years). Before that, Dr. Barnes took wonderful care of my horse for fourteen years. I can't say enough good things about this practice. I highly recommend them. They are so great to Felix and they took wonderful care of my mother's dog Winston for his whole life with us too. They are an incredible team, from Janet or Robin who greet you when you come in, to all of the vet Techs, Cyndi, Marlene, Dr. Barnes, Dr. Lebiedz (Dr. Emily). I feel like they have helped me take wonderful care of all my pets, from vaccinations to tummy aches, and sore paws, the whole gamut of pet care. If only my Primary Care Physician was this good!
