How to Save Money at East Valley 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.

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.

Started taking my dog here after adopting about a year ago. Very helpful and knowledgeable folks. I got a routine checkup/vaccinations about one month in, and it all went super easily for my dog. Recently, I scheduled an appointment regarding my dog's allergies and skin/ear issues, and was given many useful options to help him out. They were able to point me in the right direction to finding out where the allergy might be, and starting on some different foods to narrow it down. Booking and canceling of appointments was always very easy for me, no worries. Recommended by me and Toast, for sure. Here's the dog tax:

Been coming here for 8 years with different animals and have always had an amazing experience. When my 14 year old cat passed away 8 years ago they were so kind and even sent me a letter. They’re great with my new cats and have always been amazing.

We love East Valley Vet! We started going there at the beginning of this year and the staff have been wonderful. The vets and techs all have great bedside manner, and provide the best patient-centered care. I have never felt pressured to do a procedure or start a medication, and I fully trust that they want what is best for our dog. Recently, our dog fractured a tooth and they were able to triage the situation via a photo I texted them from home. Initially, the earliest appointment available was for 2 months out, but after personally viewing the photo, the vet was able to get her scheduled for an appointment 3 weeks out. They took great care of our dog and the vet even called me personally during the procedure to discuss removal of the broken tooth. She discussed the two options and honestly presented the pros/cons/prices. I felt supported in my decision and truly appreciated the open and honest communication I have had with this team. I highly recommend East Valley Vet!

My baby boy golden dood got neutered here. They treated him very well and he recovered perfectly. The staff is extremely nice. My only complaint was that when we went into the neuter, I indicated he might have a thyroid issue. They took his blood for the neuter, but they didn't keep it long enough ( roughly 2 days) before I asked for extra thyroid testing. So I had to bring him in for another blood draw. And they're very booked out just for those extra tests, which turned out to confirm my suspicion about thyroid. I'm glad we got him diagnosed, but it was quite inconvenient when they already had his blood from the first time I took him in for the neuter. With a little foresight, and with my suggestion, I would have preferred they tested him for all the thyroid labs with the blood they took in the first place, at least so we didn't have to go in there again and my dog didn't have to get traumatized by getting stuck by a needle another time. Again, the people there are great. The office staff and the doctors are super nice and great with dogs and all animals I assume, but it was kind of a rigmarole trying to get a blood drawn twice when their schedule is so booked.

I really love our vet. We got a rescue in March of 2022 and she had some pretty serious dental issues. Our vet literally drew on the whiteboard to explain what she thought was happening in our girl’s mouth & the decisions she would be making when they went in to do X-rays and surgery. Their team made me feel so safe and sure that they’d take care of our girl - it’s been about 8 months since she had some teeth pulled and she’s so happy and healthy now. Highly recommend this clinic ❤️
