How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Rimbey Veterinary Clinic

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Compare prescription pricing

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

Consider pet insurance

Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

A great small town vet that keeps it real. They will tell you the tests that are needed and ones that you can do if you want….with no guilt about what you “should” do if you care about your pet like at some big city vets. I appreciate the info without the guilt. All the vets are great but Ryan is my crabby dog’s favourite.

I will start by saying everyone at this vet clinic are very kind and welcoming. However my experience here was not the best. I brought my pup in due to a wound on his paw after a hike. I suspected something may be in his paw. The vet didn't even look at it before diagnosising. He prescribed antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medication and sent us on our way. Two days later I noticed something sticking out of the wound. I proceeded to pull out a long stick from the wound. I guess all I can say as a pet owner is to stick to your gut and ask for further examination. I believe this vet clinic is great, and we just experienced a rushed examination due to high volumes coming in.

Our pup needed surgery on both of her back legs for luxating patellas and after looking around at a few options we decided to go with Rimbey Vet Clinic and we are so glad we did! Dr. Grady was amazing at answering any and all questions we had and reassured us that he would only go forward with the surgery if he felt confident that he would be able to help her out. He was also one of the few vets willing to do both legs at the same time, cutting the costs of any other quotes by nearly 50%, and didn't try to "sell" us on anything that would be unnecessary. He was flexible with his schedule, knowing we would be driving almost an hour and a half to get there, and even came in on his day off to perform the surgery. Everything went really well and we were so appreciative that he was happy to answer any and all questions during the recovery process as well. 1.5 months later our pup is doing really well and the recovery process has gone very smoothly! We are so grateful for the whole team at Rimbey Vet Clinic! They were all really wonderful to deal with. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about Rimbey Vet Clinic. We've had our shepherd there on two separate occasions, for root canals. Dr. Ian is a truely caring person and is dedicated to doing the right thing for the animal. He is so knowledgeable and his work is incredible. Years later, his work is holding strong. The staff is amazing, place is clean and orderly. I would recommend them to anyone!
