How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Redding Veterinary Hospital

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

I was visiting the area and my dog needed emergency care. I had my vet send all of the records they had in Baltimore to the Reading clinic. They were so ready for us when we arrived. After a complete exam and lots of conversations, the doctor gave me new medication, stopped two of the medication’s that she was taking because they could be aggravating her digestive track. And suggested a new food. The new food is the only thing she would eat for over two weeks. Now I have to go buy some, but I’m not sure if it will get here before I leave to go back home. All I can do is try. I wish this veterinary clinic was in my neck of the woods. I love my Vet, but I love this Vet more!.

FINALLY! A clinic that understands pets and pet parent needs. Last summer, we moved to Ridgefield and I've been to two other practices before this one dissatisfied with service/care/diagnostics/etc. I've been in the veterinary industry for 10yrs as a technician and vet sales rep. I know the good clinics from the bad ones. Dr. Phil Bolton spent an ENORMOUS amount of time with me and my dog Sumo this afternoon (over an hour!) to go over multiple medications and treatments. He was also nice enough to extend to me a technician/professional discount (which I so appreciated bc neither of us are in this industry for the money!) I cannot wait to take my other two dogs over to him in Dec and understand why everyone has raved about this clinic for so long!

Excellent doctors. Excellent staff. My cat, and all of my pets that I have had in the past, have always received the very best of care. I have complete confidence and Redding Veterinary Hospital. My cat is healthy and happy (after having been subjected to less than desirable conditions, prior to my officially adopting her). I am most thankful.

I cannot express how wonderful they are - Dr. Bolton is so kind and gentle, as well as extremely knowledgeable. He once came to work on Christmas day to help my cat. The whole practice is amazing. Just love them!

I moved from Connecticut to Rhode Island and miss a few things, one being Dr. Bolton and his staff. I am doing the car trip of almost 3 hours because I trust Dr. Bolton. Patience, expertise and kindness that is why I do this trip.
