How to Save Money at Riverside Park 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.

Love love love my vet. Not quite so happy with office staff, but it's a busy office so maybe I've caught them on some off days. Parking and access tight, but super care for reasonable fees.

Got my pup in and did not charge an extra "emergency visit" fee like some places. Saved my pups eye.

Went to their clinic today to pick up some medicine for my elderly dog. I arrive and call and get an answering machine stating that they are with other customers and to leave a message or text the same number I called. So, I hang up and wait 5 minutes then call again. Same thing happens, answering machine. So I hang up and text the number stating that I am in the parking lot and need to pick up my dogs meds. I'm the only person in the parking lot at this point, but over the next 20 minutes no one comes out of the vet office, and no call back or messages. during this time 5 other customers show up, I sit there and watch as all call the phone number. Finally, a person comes to the door of the vet office and unlocks the door. then proceeds to take a person standing by the door in. At that point, I say from my jeep, "Excuse me, I was the first person here and I would like to be the first person served." the woman partially turns and yells "I'll be with you in a few minutes!" and then closes and locks the door behind her. Well, Im done. Taking my dog to a new vet and that place will not get good words from me. Service is a thing! and theirs is worse than the DMV: At the DMV, you get a number so you know you will keep your place in line and you have an idea how long you are going to wait.
