How to Save Money at Countryside 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.

Last week we unfortunately had to put our dog down and it was such an emotional time for us. This was the first time we have experienced this and did not know what to expect. Although our hearts were broken, I cannot say enough how wonderful the staff was from the person on the phone making the appointment to the vet and assistant that helped. They were so comforting, explained the process so we knew what to expect and the room was peaceful and private so we could have all the time we needed to say our goodbyes. Today I came home to a hand written card with a very sweet message to us and all the staff’s signatures- brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for that! I can tell the love you all have for animals❤️

My turkey and I are very happy with the care at Countryside Vet. It's hard to find a vet for farm animals, even a country vet to make home visits that are less than an hour drive. The clinic is a twenty minute drive for me and they were able to look at and treat my turkey. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. They handled Turkey with care and made sure to follow up with us after treatment. I would recommend them to family and friends.

I'm a fairly new client. Multiple Fur babies. So lately I feel like i've had multiple reasons to contact Countryside. I live rural with a very packed schedule. They have been very accommodating. Which has been a huge relief. Feeling very grateful to find such a great place.

We can't recommend Countryside enough to anyone looking for a veterinarian, they're the best! They have multiple vets on staff, which was the primary reason that switched over to them. Our previous vet clinic was staffed with only one vet, so if they were booked or out of the office, your needs had to wait. The flexibility that Countryside offers to us is wonderful - their hours are fantastic, they all love animals and you can tell that they treat them as if they were their own. We have two Bernese Mountain Dogs who exactly get excited when we pull into the Countryside parking lot! Thank you for all that you do for us and our puppies!
