How to Save Money at Brookside Animal 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.

On Monday I had to say goodbye to my good old boy, baby Jude. The staff at Brookside Animal clinic was incredible through the whole horrific process. Jude was eleven when we rescued him from an abusive and scary life back in December of 2019. He had developed allergies and was miserable. He was a gigantic bear of a German Shepherd and weighed over 100 pounds. The staff at Brookside was awesome, especially during Covid when they would have to walk him without us, from our car in the parking lot. They were so patient and sweet with him as he had a very aggressive bark. If you are ever in the unfortunate situation where you have to see a veterinarian, I can’t recommend them enough. The prices is next to none. I have no learned not to “judge a book by its cover” because it doesn’t look like much from the outside. We had been going to a “bougie” vet out in Draper and it was a beautiful and pristine place, but the staff was cold and the prices were astronomical. My sister in law recommended Brookside Animal clinic because she had just lost their sweet dog and Brookside was the only vet available in the city who would let their family be present for euthanasia because of the pandemic. I arrived at Brookside Monday morning without my shoes on and our other baby dog in tow. It had been a nightmare of a weekend and I was exhausted and emotionally spent. The staff was so understanding and sympathetic to the situation and they were amazing with Jude during his last precious moments on Earth. I wish he could have passed away at home on his own, but he just kept holding on through the pain. It was an agonizing decision to make and the vet walked us through each step and didn’t seem at all bothered that we interfered with her lunch break. Thank you again to the amazing staff for taking such good care of my baby Jude!

This is absolutely the best veterinarian clinic anywhere. We've been taking our pets here since I was a child. They are knowledgeable and caring, and they are not just out to drain your bank account. They are absolutely the best vet I've ever gone to. Brookside, you guys rock... you actually care about the animals you care for, and that truly shows.. Thank you for what you do...

All of my family have been coming here for years. The vets are almost amazing yes they may not accept new patients but the ones they do have they treat amazing and are always honest when it come to treatments. Karma may have retired but the new vet that took over is definitely a 10 out of 10.

We have been going to Brookside for 20+ years. We've always loved Karma and the other techs, now there are more great doctors and techs to appreciate. I recently took my dog in at 5pm and they quickly got us in and diagnosed my pup's problem then we were out with some meds and he is great now. Thanks to doc Ian!
