How to Save Money at Stevenson Ranch Veterinary Center
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.

Our experience was hands down the best experience we've ever had with a vet. Though we are new, Kona was treated like a welcomed member of a family. From making the appointment to being given a transparent rundown of Kona's visit it was a positive experience. We are so thrilled to have found a wonderful vet center that we can trust. Thank you so much for everything!

We had a wonderful visit. Katelyn was friendly and knowledgeable. Dr Ridel was very gentle when examining them. The cheese wiz is a great distraction for the dogs - genius!

We've been bringing our dogs to SRVC for years since moving to the area. While we were impressed by the online reviews & service we received at first, lately there has been a very noticeable decline in staff attitudes, not being able to see a vet when needed, and the inability to secure an appointment without weeks wait. But the events this week during an after hours emergency have broken all trust related to their reliability & effectiveness. One of my dogs was bit by another dog and was bleeding from his nose, head & eyes. I called their GuardianVets answering service (it was 7pm mind you, not the middle of the night) and it took several minutes for anyone to answer the phone. Even after I explained the situation (and gave my contact details), the response was "let me try to connect with a tech on duty." After several more minutes of being placed on hold, I finally hung up as I was already in my car driving to a new vet who was open late. My dog ended up needing 5 stitches & almost lost his eye. To this moment (4 days later) I have not received a single call back or message from anyone at that answering service, nor a vet tech or anyone associated with Stevenson Ranch Vet Center. We like to be loyal to businesses but are sad to say that we will be taking our business elsewhere. I hope SRVC finds a new after hours call service so no one else has to deal with the stress & anxiety of struggling to get ahold of someone here to help in an after hours emergency.

We had the best visit with Dr. Fox. Our puppy was cared for and examined in a way that left us feeling reassured and encouraged. All our questions answered, we have found the best place possible for our pets to be seen.
