How to Save Money at River Region Veterinary Services
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.
Reviews from Google
It is very disheartening to see some of these reviews. We brought our puppy to River Region without seeing any reviews, and I have to say that EVERYONE at River Region has been kind, courteous, loving, and very knowledgeable. Who wouldn’t want someone who is passionate about the care of our babies. My Nico has received every service from them. He goes to the daycare, has been boarded, receives grooming services, and vet services. I’m from the Midwest and the prices here are very reasonable. He has been going here since we got him at 8 weeks and he is now 13 months old. He gets so excited to see everyone there. So please see for yourself because I wouldn’t take my Nico anywhere else. The attached picture was at River Region they had a contest for the fur babies 💜 ~Hudson’s

I love River Regions Vets - both Dr. Meyer and her staff. They love on my sweet girls and call after their appts to check on them. They are attentive and listen to my feedback and are as concerned with my cats as I am. They walked me through some digestive issues with my youngest, Gracie, and made my little girl healthy again. They are also very fair in their pricing and billing. I couldn’t ask for better care!!! ❤️❤️❤️

PAWSOME DAYCARE--My fur child has been attending doggie daycare for 3 months now and he loves it. Previously to coming here he was going to a daycare in Montgomery. I changed jobs so he had to change daycare's. I can honestly say that he is so happy in the mornings to be coming here he whines when we start to pull in because he can't wait to get out of the truck. He sure does love Niki, as I'm sure anyone's pet would she is so great with animals. This is definitely where your pet needs to come!
