How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Oakridge Veterinary Clinic

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Compare prescription pricing

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

Consider pet insurance

Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

My spouse and I have been taking our sausage dog, Nigel here for over a year now. When we started taking him everything was great. Techs were really nice, on-time, Nigel loved going, and overall great experience. Lately our experience hasn't been so great. The last two appointments we have scheduled for visits (vaccines / blood work) for Nigel have been cancelled last minute, including one this morning. I was told at 8:00 a.m. that our 8:30 a.m. appointment was cancelled because the technicians didn't show up for work. This is after waiting 3 weeks for the appointment! 3 weeks from when the last appointment was scheduled!! When I asked about when we could come in, the lady told me they were backed up for another 3 weeks. SERIOUSLY?! If you are cancelling on a client at the last minute (for the second time, or even the first), you should accommodate your client and make sure they can be seen faster than your next available appointment. We're scheduled to have our dog neutered at the end of the month and now I'm wondering if that will be cancelled too. We've already paid the deposit or we'd take him somewhere else.

The staff at Oakridge Veterinary Clinic are very attentive and caring. I never had to wait long when in the office. My cat had stitches in her ear and it went very well. Dr. Munoz did a wonderful job with the surgery! All of the pre-op and post-op instructions were clearly laid out, making the process as easy as possible. It was obvious that the staff and doctors (Dr. Munoz and Dr. Griscom) very much care about the animals they are treating. Plus the clinic's prices are reasonable and fair.

The Oakridge Veterinary Clinic team were the most compassionate, professional and attentive team when I had to say goodbye to my beloved cat, Jasper. They treated him with compassion and love. They guided me and my husband through the process of saying goodbye. Jasper was our first pet and we love him so much. It was hard to let him go but without their help, it will have been a lot more painful. Thank you so much! From the bottom of hearts, Estela and Enrique.

Dr Murdock and her staff were great!! Even though our dog was not a previous patient (our Vet had retired) they took him in as an emergency and gave him excellent care. He is now home recovering with the advise of Dr Murdock and some extra TLC.

Finding a vet for a bearded dragon isn't easy. Oakridge was fantastic and was able to fit him in and treat him right away. Lester is our classroom pet and they treated him like the very special pet that he is.
