How to Save Money at Gooding Veterinary Clinic
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.

Dr Parrish is excellent. I had a vet I used to live in Boise, but since moving I hadn’t found one I felt LOVED animals. Dr. Parrish does. She gets on the floor with my dogs, she takes her time with my cats and I felt she was very gentle with them all. It’s nice to take my pets somewhere that I’m not afraid to leave them alone with the staff, and Gooding vet is it for me. If only she was closer!

Worth the drive!! Dr Parish and her staff are amazing! They are compassionate and friendly and really take time to talk with you about your pet. Dr Parish is very thorough and it is obvious how much she loves animals. I never felt rushed into procedures or medications. She likes to be less invasive if possible. How refreshing! In addition to this, when my mother had an emergency medical episode, they were calm and quick in getting emergency responders to their office. They allowed my dog to remain with them until I could get my Mom situated. I am so impressed with this veterinary clinic!

I've been a Client at this clinic for several years. Dr. Parish and her team do a remarkable job "Loving to love our(my) Pets." I love that this team focuses on positive experiences. She has helped me during the hardest of times with the loss of a pet, and at the best times bringing pets into this world. They are very understanding, patient, and respectful of all pets. They are very knowledgeable and make sure that a client leaves with all the information they need. I'm very happy and so are all three of my Furr Babies!!

I love Dr. Parish and her team. They always treat my animals with great care and her prices are very reasonable. She spends time explaining every treatment and procedure, and is up on the latest treatments and medications. She is a very caring and compassionate person.

I love how nice the vet is when you can actually get into see her. Unfortunately, I can't ever get a person to answer the phone or call me back at this office. I have had to take my rescues and pets to Shoshone Veterinary Hospital and we have also been using Sawtooth Vet in Jerome versus being able to utilize a local vet option. I gave two stars only because of how educated and kind the vet is when you see her. However, I care for the health of each animal I care for so I need a reliable vet and this is just not a good option.
