How to Save Money at North Bluff 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.

Everyone at this practice is kind but I must give a special review to Savannah. I had a bad scare with my cat Piper today and I must have phoned her ten times in a few hours. She was unstintingly warm, patient, and knowledgeable. She made me feel safe and seen. Thank you!

Amazing practice and would definitely recommend them to anyone. When we took our cat to see them, he was unfortunately in the very late stages of kidney disease, so there was not much that could be done for him, but they did everything they could to make him as comfortable as he could be in his final weeks. When it was time to put him down, the care that they gave for both us and our cat was amazing. It is such a difficult thing to have to put an animal down, especially one that has been part of the family for years. They were extremely compassionate and helpful during a process that is unimaginable and painful. You can tell that they love and care for every animal as if it is their own. I will always be grateful to them for the love and care that they provided to us and our cat during that time.

Sooo happy we listened to a friend and came to this vet. We moved to south surrey from Richmond about 10 years ago and have been to several vets out this way. Not the best experiences. North Bluff animal hospital was an excellent experience . Did not feel pressured to experiment on my cat, quite the opposite! Good old school vet feeling. Great prices aswell.

They are THE BEST! The vet techs are such sweet hearts with the animals and the vet is AMAZING. he took so much to explain everything and answered our many questions. He doesn't over charge us for things we don't need and we never feel pressured to buy something. The way he handled our cats, you see that this is true love for the animals he cares for and it is really reassuring. Best clinic please visit them if you need! ♥️
