How to Save Money at Meadowridge 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.

★★★★★ (10/10) Dr. Goulet and the team at Doctors Pet Clinic provided exceptional care for our 8-year-old Vizslas. The clinic has such a welcoming, home-like atmosphere that immediately put both us and our dogs at ease. The staff was incredibly pleasant and friendly, and you could tell our dogs were actually happy to be there - which says a lot about a vet visit!

Took my cat in for some blood work and an exam. The office smelled good and was very clean. Dr. Ishikane did a great job with my cat and was very knowledgeable of my cats condition which was a relief. Cheyenne was my room nurse, she was so kind and helpful as well. Ashley, a technician there, referred me and it was a very great experience for me and my cat. Sarah and the other woman working at the front were amazing too. Thank you to the whole team! Will definitely be coming back in the future.

We have been coming here for a long time. My husband and I have 12 animals and we take care of every single one of them like that are a sibling to our child. The staff is caring and knowledgeable. We had an emergency where our cat, Iris, was attacked by a coyote. They did everything including a miracle or two to keep her healthy, out of pain, and on the mend. She had a broken jaw...and now a week later she is eating on her own. I will recommend this vet over all others. Indefinitely. Dr koorhan and Dr brown are the best vets I have ever had the luck of meeting. It's good to feel confident in your vets when you have to leave your baby there for help. Also, a big shout-out to kimmy and the vet techs. You are the most helpful bunch, and I can not praise you enough! 🙌

On behalf of TAO my cat and I, We are forever grateful to Dr.Goulet and all the wonderful staff (especially Casey), that made the journey possible to obtain Taos international passport to Panama a Total Breeze.All documentation was accepted at the Panamanian Embassy perfectly. I was told that Flying with a cat (according to many)is a nightmare, but Tao did Beyond Amazing!! Made me so Proud. He behaved PERFECTLY. (I even forgot the sedation at home). Im guessing that the Feliway spray helped a lot. When we arrived to Panama they stated Very rarely are the pets H and P so thorough and Everything was done perfectly!!!This entire process was no doubt super stressful and we couldn’t have done it without You All. A Thousand Words cannot suffice our Gratitude. Thank you again Denise R and TAO
