How to Save Money at Crestwood Veterinary Centre
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 like this clinic cuz I really felt as if the staff cared about my pet. They were really flexible and accommodating with the restrictions of my situation, disabled and husband away for work often. They had the wisdom of pet owners that complimented their clinical knowledge, and I felt I was getting really good care and understanding. The prices were standard, everything was listed and clear on my paperwork, and I didn't feel pressured to spend extra money on things that weren't important to me. Definitely recommend.

I am just amazed at how the team helped me today. My dog accidentally impaled himself with a large branch this morning at Buena Vista dog park whilst playing in the forested area. I rushed him through to Crestwood and they were fantastic. I am so grateful to them for what they have done. He was in theatre in under 5 minutes and is recovering well. Thank you thank you thank you

They did an amazing job with our dog’s surgery in his elbows and coordinating with our family as we are from out of town. Many phone calls, texts, and emails were sent- great communication. The best care!

Fantastic place. They took such amazing care of my cat and treater her so well. When your animal comes home and has no issues or anxiety you know the people care very much about your animals wellbeing. I've had some really negative experiences with my cats coming home from the vet (different place) completely traumatized. And this was not the case. Thank you everyone from Sarah and Little Godzilla who is doing very well after getting fixed 😺❤️

My dog started sneezing uncontrollably and blood coming out one evening all of a sudden so I rushed her to the nearest open vet which was Rosslyn. They advised me she needed a scope and flush so in the morning I phoned my regular vet who does not have a scope. FYI if this ever happens to your dog and they need a scope (or if they ingest an object and need a scope) what I have learned is that very few vet clinics have a scope. The emergency clinics all do but they quoted me outrageous costs. $6500-7500 is what guardian emergency quoted me plus couldn’t do it right away, boreal quoted me $3000 and up and couldn’t do it till next day, and pulse didn’t even quote me because they didn’t have anyone that could do it until the following week. By some act of god when I was frantically calling every clinic in the city to see if they could do a scope someone told me to try Crestwood vet and sure enough Crestwood got me in asap and the whole bill was $950. The vet tech I initially spoke to Billie was really great, very patiently and knowledgeable answered my questions which was probably no small feat because I was an absolute emotional wreck and hadn’t slept in 24 hours and at that point had wasted time going to Pulse emergency vet who said they could do the scope on the phone but when I got there and after waiting two hours said they couldn’t do the scope till next week, plus had called probably 20 different clinics in edmonton area trying to find someone that could do the scope, all while watching my poor dog just be in pain. . At the clinic the vet was Erica (sorry can’t remember her last name ) who was also great. They phoned me as soon as the procedure was done to let me know they did in fact find a big piece of grass and that my dog was ok. I can’t even describe how relieved I was to have found someone to do the procedure before the weekend as my dog was just really uncomfortable and in pain I felt so bad for her and was worried about her having to wait till Monday. Not to mention that coming to Crestwood literally saved me thousands of dollars. Thank you Crestwood!
