How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Emerald Hills 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.

Emerald hills is always attentive to my dogs’ needs, they treat us like family when we go in, and we’ve never had a single bad experience. The vets, techs, and receptionists are all communicative, honest, prompt, and thorough!!

I can not say enough good about this vet clinic. My boy is a real hand full to say the least. They are so good with him and always have his best interest looked after. I have no problem referring people to this clinic, from the front desk, the techs and the vets. Dr Mah and staff have gone the extra mile for him so many times. Sorry guys you are stuck with him :)

Dr. Smith and Dr. Mah are both wonderful vets. They are compassionate and gentle in their approach, and always get to the bottom of our concerns with our little dog. We are lucky to have found them!

We can not say enough about the staff and Dr Smith. We took our rescue pup, Piper, for a check up and to get more information on our girl. Dr Smith was very caring, gentle and compassionate with Piper. Dr Smith included us in assisting with the examination and provided us with valuable information to help us care for Piper. Piper was so well behaved at the appointment, this was because of how Dr Smith was with Piper throughout the entire appointment. We left knowing Piper will be in caring hands at future appointments.

We had been with another vet clinic since 2014 but found their level of service declining over the past year. Their COVID policy did not allow us to accompany our dog into the clinic when he became ill and unable to walk. We decided to seek a second opinion and chose Emerald Hills as it is very close to our house. Dr Mah reviewed our dog's file and contacted us on the day of our appointment to advise us that she did not believe she could offer any other options for our boy Django and did not want to charge us for a visit when we would hear the same diagnosis we had before. His health began to deteriorate and we had decided to have him put to sleep on a Friday. However it became apparent on a Wednesday he was having difficulty breathing and needed to be euthanized that evening. Emerald Hills went out of their way to accommodate us and even allowed myself, my partner, her son and my daughter and his boyfriend inside the clinic to be there when he passed. Dr Smith was absolutely amazing and showed the most compassion we have ever experienced which made the passing of our beloved family pet that much more bearable. They even suggested an amazing service to use for his cremation and after approximately a week we received the most amazing package with his ashes and the most heartfelt personalized sympathy card we have ever seen from a Veterinary Clinic. We have since gotten a new puppy who is now a client there as well as our other dog who is 6 years old. IF you are looking for a clinic that cares, has the most friendly staff and lets you actually come in (face mask required) while your pet is assessed by the amazing vets and techs please please please chose Emerald Hills Veterinary Clinic!!!
