How to Save Money at Eagle Ridge Animal & Bird Hospital

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.

Getting 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.

It is hard to express how amazing everyone that works at eagle ridge animal hospital are, they take so good care of my bunny every single time, I feel that they actually care so much about his well being. I have brought my bunny here for checkups and neutering and they kept calling to let me know how he was and then to ask me how he was doing at home. In July my bunny got sick on a Saturday and they were able to take him in immediately. I would not bring him anywhere else other than there. Thank you guys for being so loving and caring with snowglobe!!!!!

This place is wonderful! They always take such great care of my bunny. Every member of their staff from the vets, vet techs to the front desk are so kind and caring. Front desk team is always friendly, patient and accommodating. The vet techs do such a great job with nail trimmings and big thanks to one that took the time to teach me how to administer a IV (I think his name was Tristan). The vets always take time to listen to our questions and concerns. I never feel pressured to do extra procedures if it’s not necessary. Special thanks to Dr. Ong, Dr. Khoo and Dr. Hardin!

I felt compelled to write this review for Eagle Ridge Animal Hospital because they truly went above and beyond for our beloved Wyatt, an American Bulldog with a huge heart. Years ago, when Wyatt was diagnosed with bad knees, Dr. Ian Hardin was there to guide us through not one but two knee surgeries. The entire staff showed endless patience, explaining every detail and step of his recovery. It’s clear they genuinely care about animals and the families who love them. Six years later, we found ourselves back at Eagle Ridge when Wyatt began limping and seemed to be in pain. This time, Dr. Ong was the one who gently delivered the news that our boy had bone cancer. She explained the prognosis and all options with such kindness and empathy, walking us through everything patiently. After bringing Wyatt home and doing more research, Dr. Ong was there to help us one more time, going over every possible question and concern. Ultimately, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to our beautiful boy, Oct 29,2024. On that final day, Dr. Hardin was there with us. He sat with our family, patiently and without rushing, comforting us as we said our farewells. His words about how much we had done for Wyatt, and how special our boy was, meant so much. Wyatt passed peacefully, surrounded by love, and we’ll forever be grateful to Dr. Hardin, Dr. Ong, and the entire team at Eagle Ridge for their compassion, patience, and care throughout Wyatt’s life. RIP Handsome Boy!

Dr. Yip was very knowledgeable I can tell he knows his books, he has a well renowned degree in Sydney but I want to say as a patient of a senior dog, we need a bit more compassion, more soft skills, needs better empathy communications. While knowledge and science is critical and very important, communicating with a family member is another skill that is equally as important. Communications was very much like a computer diagnosis which is accurate but lacked compassion. Dr. Jeremy and other doctors would never speak in this way. The frontline staff is incredible, very empathetic, very caring and you can tell they have experienced this many times and know exactly what to say. 2 stars for knowledge, lacking soft skills especially when my dog is near her last days. Edit: We appreciate the personal note from Dr. Jeremy to reach out with empathy and to further understand. Thank you to the team for 14.5 wonderful long years with our dog Milly, the Yorkie.

I was a client of Dr Ian Hardin for over thirty years. First with my dog, Maxine and recently with my 8 year old cat Sweetie Pie. Dr Hardin diagnosed Maxine with anal gland cancer that another vet had misdiagnosed. He operated on her and she lived another 7 years. He also diagnosed my cat with a cancerous lump on her tail that he remove successfully. Follow up ultrasound show no spread. I recently moved to Mission and Sweetie Pie was seen by another vet clinic where she was diagnosed with two teeth to be removed. During the dental cleaning her trachea was torn by the tube used to administer anaesthesia. Sweetie Pie was rushed to the Boundary Bay Animal Emergency Hospital. She spent four days there in oxygen to decrease the buildup of air around her heart and stomach; and under her skin. The ordeal was horrific for my cat and I. I am returning to Dr Hardin for any future health issue. The two teeth I was told had to be removed did NOT have to be removed. The whole process broke my trust in the clinic in Mission and the thought of finding a new vet here is terrifying. For the safety of my Sweetie Pie, I will gladly go back to Dr Hardin at Eagle Ridge Clinic.
