How to Save Money at Soderstrom Veterinary
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.

Took our older Ridgeback here for two-part (major) abdominal surgery. The first thing we observed is that the facility is CLEAN, well-thought-out, and organized. The doctor and staff were very present at all times and understood the mental space we were in. They patiently and compassionately managed our expectations. The entire staff exudes calm competence. From start to finish, we knew exactly what to expect and when. I had full confidence in Dr Soderstrom & his team and they executed the surgeries successfully. Post-op care was absolutely solid and the two weeks to stitch-removal went smoothly, with them quickly addressing our questions as we managed his recovery. If your pet needs surgery, this is where you want to take them. Huge thanks to everyone there.

Had to take my fur baby for knee surgery. The availability of appoint and surgery date was convenient and quick. The doctor and staff have a great personality and great customer service. The $$$ was reasonable dis not break the bank. My fur baby recovered very well and back to her normal self. Thank you Dr. Soderstrom.

Dr Soderstrom is the best! My cat has had a mystery illness for a year. He has been so kind and patient in helping me help my poor kitty. I feel so lucky to have been referred to him. His office staff is also kind and amazing. It has made a stressful time so much more tolerable. Thank you Dr. Soderstrom and staff!

Brought my mom here her Pomeranian has a fractured paw, she’s tiny so the vet decided to cast her leg, instead of doing an expensive surgery she seems to be doing well, the vet is straight foward and explains everything clearly and the staff is very nice! Peggy is very nice and efficient

Absolutely do not recommend. One: You can never get a real person on the phone 100% of the time you call. What you get is Peggy's Voicemail, you leave a message to only never hear back and to have to leave another message. Our dog Charlie has an injury to his leg, so we went for a surgery consult with Soderstrom. Soderstrom said it had nothing to do with his leg and that Charlie had a Brain Tumor, so we bought into it and paid $1600 for a CT of the brain. After the CT was done we never heard back from him on the results, until I called several times 3 weeks later. Finally hear back from Soderstrom who says the CT was negative and then says Charlie has fluid around his brain, so lets put him on Prednisone for 3 days and I'll call you back in 3 days to see how he's doing. AGAIN, NO CALL BACK this was 2 weeks ago and after I left several messages on Peggy's voice mail and still no call back. In fact when I tried to tell Soderstrom that this is a leg injury he appeared over the phone to get frustrated with me, telling me he knows what he's talking about. My thoughts. . Well, I to do and nothing Dr. Soderstrom has done has turned up any answers. The issue is I accidentally stepped on my dogs hind leg in the middle of the night, it was dark and I didn't see him. I felt how hard I stepped on him, not once but twice. When he moved I moved and I stepped on him again. I tore the meniscus in my knee from this accident when I lost my balance trying to get away from him and not hurt him again. Just be very careful proceeding with this vet. He doesn't return calls and he may lead you down a path of financial hardship with no results. We are starting over with a new surgeon today and I hope Charlie can get the attention and care he needs.
