How to Save Money at Stonehenge Veterinary 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.

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.

I took my dog to Stonehenge vet for 8 years and the majority of the staff were so helpful and compassionate but the lady at the front desk was very abrasive and lacked compassion for me or my dog. Not sure how someone who seems to not like pets is able to work in such a position. She pretty much threw my dog’s ashes at me and offered no condolences or compassion for the loss of my pet when I picked up his ashes. It’s been a month since my loss and I am still mourning his passing and will never return to Stonehenge as long as that lady is still working there.

On January 6 of this year, my wife and I came home to find her elderly cat, tango, unresponsive in her cat bed. She was breathing, but barely clinging to life. We brought her to Stonehenge veterinary, where we have taken her for most of her life, as well as our other cats. They brought her in back and told us they were going to prepare to put her to sleep. So we sat in the waiting room. After 20 minutes I asked them when we were going to go back there to put our cat to sleep and they said that they took care of it already. “I’m sorry, we’ve already done it,” was what the vet tech said as she retreated to the back. The vet “misunderstood.” Is it not normal for people to go in the back when they put their pets to sleep? Again, my first two cats, also have gone through this at Stonehenge, and we went into the back. I don’t see where the mix up was. My previous two cats who they handled at this moment in their lives, they allowed us to watch or at least be in the room. They must’ve thought we were just dropping a random cap off or something. In any case not only did we not get to say goodbye to our cat, but they somehow mistakenly up charged us for the more expensive box for cremating. By $200. Again, the first two cats were giving their simple boxes after cremation of approximately $30 worth. When we got the invoice, we were being charged $200 for a box with a gold nameplate. Which we did not ask for. Now, for the first cat who went in. In 2017 our cat Meeko, went I for his annual. Dr. Smith said he was fine. A week later, his kidneys started to fail. We paid her $250 or something like that for her to tell us he was fine and then him literally start pissing blood a week later. Clowns.

For the most part the vets here do a great job and explain everything with clarity. However whatever you do, do not get your animal spayed or neutered here. I was charged almost $800 to get my dog neutered. I should have asked the price before hand, but according to Google the high end cost of getting your animal neutered is $500 on average, so I don't know why they charged me so much. I have no complaints about how the procedure was performed, but still I feel this was a fairly unreasonable price.

We have been taking our pets to Stonehenge Veterinary Hospital since 1982. They are an exceptional facility. The doctors and staff are all wonderful. This spring our husky was seriously ill, and I will never forget how compassionate Dr. Smith and the staff were with him and us. She is so very patient with our strong-willed husky, not to mention brilliant as she definitely saved his life. We are forever grateful!
