How to Save Money at Sonoma Marin Veterinary Service

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.

Does not service all of Sonoma County. Asked to come to Healdsburg, and was told they don't service this far.

We have used Son Marin Vet Services a few times for emergency call outs. I can't recommend them highly enough. Our last call out was in February, 2021 for a goat that delivered a stillborn, no placenta after a full day and a few other issues. Dr. Hannah Greene came out and was wonderful with the animal and with us! She took all the time needed to make sure the goat was doing well. This was not a rushed visit. She continued to contact us to place follow up calls within the few days after. When we contacted the office initially, the staff was great. I just can't see anyone having anything negative to say about the whole operation, and this is based on repeated services. I am writing this now, one month later because we just received the invoice for services. The bill was probably a 1/4 of what I though we should have been charged.

Can’t speak to their vet services but I did call to try to get a weekend appointment for a smaller animal. I was unaware they only handled large animals when I called. The woman that answered the phone was not very personable. It’s not a crime not to be personable but if I had a large animal and called for care, I’d probably move onto the next vet service. Again, can’t speak to their ability.

Dr. Meyer is so great. I have two Navajo Churro that are wild. They came to me 6 months ago from a ranch of 200 acres. I could not catch the mama and he lassoed the baby and gently took care of both my sheep. Wow......really he was kind and clear and I could not be happier. Thank you for treating my sheep and a great personality to boot!!!
