How to Save Money at Vet At Blueridge

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.

The best vet I've been to . Very empathetic and personable. I have been in search of one for quiet a while since moving. I highly recommend . They have an app you can use aswel to contact them. I took my cat tubby here , they did emergency surgery. They are great with financial options too.The vets take their time to explain things with you and personally keep in touch . I couldn't speak more highly about them and always recommend. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't have my tubby and I'm so greatful

I really like Dr. Glenn, he was very nice and took his time explaining things BUT the girls up front have been so rude in the 2 years I have gone there, never a smile on their face , Hello or a thank you. They treated my Lab like he had the Plague. The dark haired girl got him from boarding and he was excited to see me so obviously he wants to run to me and she jerked his neck back and cussed at him. Never seen anything like it. Then they said he was banned from bathing with no explanation. He loves water!!He jumps into the bath on his own. Also I left a small towel for my other dog with anxiety, I could tell they never let him have it. Still smelled like Fabric softener and neatly folded. I was told it was the owner's decision to not bathe him, so I asked and never got a reply. I figure if you are going to be that rude to my dog in front of me, what will you do when I can not see? Too bad.

I have been using The Vet at Blueridge for over 20 years now. Dr. Glenn is top notch as is Dr. Jones. We had to put our 21 year old chihuahua down .Dr Jones met us within the hour and was very kind and compassionate. This meant a lot !!! We have had numerous other pets they have treated and are very pleased with the service.
