How to Save Money at Bridgeland Vet 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.

This is my first vet clinic in Calgary and I did not regret my choice! The staff is so friendly, my pet needed time to get used to the office and they provided it for us. Dr. Ashley was incredibly sweet with my cat. This place looks clean and amazing. I will definitely come back here :)

Every visit to Bridgeland Vet has been a positive one! Every staff member I have spoken with has been very knowledgeable, friendly, and compassionate. I can't stress enough how much I recommend this veterinary clinic. Dr. Rachel is exceptionally thorough and provides detailed explanations, ensuring all my questions are addressed. I feel fortunate knowing I have such a fantastic team providing care to both of my boys! (One more frightened than the other)

Amazing! Recently switched my baby Spooky to this Vet clinic as I've heard good things about them. I am extremely particular about my dogs care and I've been here 3 times now and they have been nothing short of amazing. As he's getting older I wanted a veterinarian that I could connect with, and someone who truly cares about his wellbeing and health. Dr. Kelman has a very positive energy about him, and my dog who is usually quite reactive loves seeing him, which has never happened before! Vet Tech Erin also goes above and beyond for us, is very kind and sweet, and explains everything in detail. The front desk staff are also very accommodating. Their prices are significantly better than my prior vets, and they are always transparent and upfront about costs and estimates. I am so happy I took the chance and came 🩷 Spooky sends you all the kisses and tail wags 🥰🩷

Bridgeland Vet Clinic has been absolutely amazing with my mini wiener dog, Gigi! The staff is incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable. They always take the time to answer all my questions and make sure Gigi feels comfortable and cared for. It’s clear they genuinely love animals and go above and beyond in their care. I couldn’t ask for a better clinic for my pup! Highly recommend!

I’ve been taking my sweet Angelica to this vet for a long time. Recommended by a friend when I wanted a second opinion on her dental issues. Everyone is super friendly here and they like to call Angelica a princess. They have room designated for cats only and it’s always super clean. My cat has had a lot of medical issues and Dr. Boyer has been really good with her. He did her surgery to extract some teeth due to resorptive lesions and he was very kind and answered all my scared questions. They recommended a lot of different tests like bloodwork etc before surgery which the previous vet at a different clinic didn’t. I felt like dr Boyer was very thorough and took every precaution to ensure my kitty had the best chance at a smooth surgery. Yes extra testing does cost money but he explained exactly why these tests should be done and are recommended. Surgery is very risky. And really important to take all precautions before having your animal put under. I appreciate this. I wanted my baby to get top notch medical treatment and she did. They also have a lovely lady vet nutritionist who specializes in home cooked recipes and a more natural approach to feeding your cat. Dr Kaylan. She worked with me and Angelica to formulate a couple recipes for her to have for her meals. She’s thriving off the food and has gained more energy and is way more food motivated then she used to be. She struggles with gut issues/bowel issues/ fic/ asthma/ recurrent infections like ear infections so this is supposed to help her build up her immunity. It’s a slow process but shes getting better. Her bowel movements are more consistent and her fic flare ups are way less. Shes a very happy girl.
