How to Save Money at Eastridge Animal 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.

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.

Truly caring people at Eastridge. Thank you Dr Loff for taking such good care of my cats. I've left there twice now with no charge! I will only go to Eastridge unless a late night emergency. Take your pets to Eastridge if you want the best care for them !

Moved here from our vet in Vancouver. Dr. Loh is very knowledgeable, caring, and honest. The service and care have been amazing so far and well worth the 1 hr drive each way.

Im so happy that my puppy got accepted at East Ridge as a new client in 2023. I only have great things to say about this place - Dr. Whitely and staff are amazing to my pet. Customer service is top notch. Recent had my 18lbs pup spayed - and the price is much much lower than other places here in Maple Ridge. Thank you East Ridge Dr. Whitely and staff for providing great quality care to Zoey. Appreciate all you do.

I have been a client since they opened, Dr. David Loff is the best veterinarian I and my fur babies have had the pleasure of dealing with. His staff is knowledgeable and kind. I have had some animals throughout the years that have had some difficult diagnoses, but they have all been treated or solved. I have also had to have some of my fur babies euthanized throughout the years and we as humans as well as them, were always treated with respect, dignity and a multitude of kindness. Dr. Loff keeps his knowledge up to date and I wouldn't want to put my fur babies in anyone else's hands.

I was catsitting and their team was amazing at handling her. Very informative and helped clean a mess the poor cat had in her kennel. I'm glad they were able to check up on her on such short notice. Nothing but good things to say about the doctors. Great support staff too.
