How to Save Money at South Side Equine 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.

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.

One year ago today I took my Suffolk Punch part Draft Horse into Southside equine for the earliest emergency appt. My horse had all the symptoms of PHF, we asked him to test for it and repeatedly said he could have Potomac Horse Fever! He focused on my horses teeth and said he was going to pull all his front teeth on Friday Aug.12, 2022. He would not test for it or take our opinion in consideration and while my horse was under his careAug.10-12th I was told he was going to check on my horse after Dr. Bradley was done with field work on the 11th his assistant said before he closed at 5pm. I was with my horse 6pm-11pm (11th) nobody showed then I showed up at 7:30am on the 12th my horse was kicking at his stomach I called him for an emergency and no answer I left a message they started showing up 8:05am I asked Dr. Bradley if I should go to a Rogue or OSU because he wasn't getting the help there. Dr. Bradley Yelled at me telling me he only had 10mins to spend with his family and he needed time to look at my horse. Cruiser was the Love of my Life. I wish he would have listened to my mother and I from day 1 or day 2 .I could still have had my heart horse. We left at noon on the 12th to go to OSU and I spent 10k trying to save my horse he died Aug.19,2022 from the Potomac Horse Fever and Laminitis for not being treated Correctly....Here is some education You have to treat PHF within 3 days with Oxytetracycline in a drop saline bag. It turns into Laminitis which they can get better from but untreated in a timely manner if the horse rotates it's fatal. When you become a veterinarian or doctor your family should know what the work is. It's about saving lives and being Compassionate. I personally think Dr. Bradley should only practice in dental work. That seems to be what he specializes in. I wish Rogue was available or I would have gone there first.

ETA: I got a phone call this morning from Dr. Bradley. He was very apologetic about the mix up and went above and beyond to make the situation right, which included getting me back on the schedule quickly for a PPE and reimbursing the fee I paid to have the horse hauled to the clinic. I appreciate the effort to make the situation right. I will write an updated review after the appointment. Had a pre purchase exam scheduled for 8/3 at 1pm. Made the appointment a week in advance and called 30 minutes before the appointment to let them know we had trailer hook up issues and would be running 10-15 minutes behind. They said it was no problem as they were behind schedule as well. When we arrived they told us we were not on the schedule at all and they couldn’t do a PPE today. They wasted my time, the sellers time, and the cost I paid to have the horse hauled to the clinic. A disappointing experience to say the least.

Dr. Bradley was so compassionate when my friend had to put down her horse of 31 years. I called to become a client and the person that answered the phone was very rude and stated they aren't taking new clients after I asked about his experience with miniatures and dyscotia.

We have had to use them a few times in short amount of time. So friendly and very reassuring . Called back fast on after hours call. Wonderful vets. I have seen and trust that my horses get the best of care. If I could rate higher I would! I highly recommend.
