How to Save Money at Broadmead Village Veterinary Clinic
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.

My experience was get in and get it done, to get out. Yes I am new, it was a busy place that seemed clear. Health care strain on humans and animals as well in our province. Happy that my puppy’s needs were covered. Thanks to all.

Dr Wilson is very educated and has helped us find solutions for both our cats. She does wonderful things for Cats Cradle Rescue as well.

I have been taking my three cats to Dr Wilson for a few years now. Dr Wilson is brilliant, and is always so kind and gentle with them. The staff is lovely and I have no hesitation when I have to leave my animals in their care for procedures. I am always kept up to date with what is happening, and they fill my prescriptions so quickly (even though I know it can take up to 48 hours.) I am so thankful for Broadmead Vet Clinic and they have my business for a long time!

I don't normally write reviews but after reading the most recent negative review I feel I have to. I switched to the Broadmead Vet Clinic a few yrs ago after adopting a special needs cat (my youngest has Cerebellar Hypoplasia). The staff has always treated my cats with the utmost kindness and compassion. Dr. Wilson's knowledge about my cat's neurological issue is above and beyond and her suggestions for strengthening/re-rehabilitating exercises has meant she is living her best life. When my other cat needed several teeth pulled, they were amazing not only for the surgery itself, but for the post-op and follow up. Their professionalism and concern for animals is always evident. And while sometimes clients may not understand the rules/regulations of veterinary medicine (they are different than human guidelines-I can vouch for this as I have work in healthcare for almost 30 yrs) the staff at Broadmead Vet always do the best (within their scope and legality) for the animals even if that means inconveniencing the owners. I never question the care I get here and will continue to trust them with the lives of my fur babies.

They've been so kind and helpful with our two cats. We adopted a kitten who later was found to have parasites (and gave them to our other cat) and they were very helpful throughout her treatment. Our kitten needs eye surgery (she was missing an eye when we adopted her) and they've been very good about letting us know what the procedure will be like and how to prepare her for it and how to help her recover.
