How to Save Money at Cornerstone Animal Hospital

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.

I’ll admit I’ve not taken the time to tend to my animals as much as I should. Dr. Lauren has had more patience than I could ask for. The clinic works around patients schedules to the best of their abilities and take patients feelings of urgency into high regards. Laid back staff and super knowledgeable! I have gone to a couple of vets in town but these people have inspired me to the best fur mom to my babies while I still have the chance.

Dr. Lauren and the entire Cornerstone staff are some of the best we have worked with. They are caring and compassionate, but beyond that Dr. Lauren was real with us and helped us through a very difficult few months at the end of our senior dog's life. They made him as comfortable as possible every step of the way. We felt total confidence in her treatment plan, and what we were charged was very reasonable. Getting an appointment was never an issue. After having less good experiences with other vets in town we wish in hindsight we would have come to Cornerstone first!

I have never been disappointed in these people! Some have come and gone, as everyone has life changes and job changes, but their genuine love and attention for our fur babies and us as the humans has always stayed consistent. I'll never forget having to call after-hours late at night, several years ago with my Corgi completely not okay and within 30min of several phone calls and advice from Dr. Lauren, she met us up there immediately and she saved my baby. We have a new Corgi puppy now and we saw a male veterinarian there (I do not remember his name, I'm terrible at that) but I am still just as impressed with the entire staff 🥰 They are so patient and make sure you leave feeling knowledgeable and comfortable

I feel that my Maggie (schnauzer mix) is getting the best of care from Cornerstone Animal Hospital. Very thorough, professional, knowledgable, and loving care. I highly recommend them. Update: in 2022, my 10 yr old Maggie underwent some very major surgery on her liver and had very inflamed gallbladder removed in the very capable hands of Dr Lauren. Dr Lauren and Cornerstone Staff went above and beyond to care for Maggie. Now six months later, Maggie is doing well and we owe so much thanks to Cornerstone for giving Maggie her life and our happiness back.

I recently adopted a cat and was recommended this place by a friend so I took her in to get a checkup and everyone was AWESOME! I’m a first time cat owner and they were very patient to answer all my questions and were so kind to both me and my cat and were very affordable! Definitely recommend!
