How to Save Money at Woodland 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.

Dr. Baldwin always makes sure to answer every question in detail. He will always recommend what is best in helping keep your pets healthy, and does not force anything you dont want; just helps educate on why such things are or are not important. He is very knowledgeable, and will not hesitate to share that knowledge with his clients. I can promise you, he is in it for our animals not just his pocket book! Thank you Dr. Baldwin for routinely taking care of my fur-babies for 2 years now, including their mishaps that have come along too! Keep up the great work, and keep doing what you love; helping out animals!

We are blessed to have Dr. Baldwin in our community to care for our animals. He is so dedicated to what he does, and so uniquely gifted with a combination of medical skill and knowledge along with intuitiveness and empathy. His staff is so kind and caring. They always help no matter what their schedule if an emergency arises. I'm thankful for Dr. Baldwin and his office! Pictured is a patient whose life he saved in 2020 at age 5, who now is enjoying the summer at age 7, all due to God working through Dr. Baldwin! God bless you!

Terrible odors immediately upon entering building. No parts of the facility that I encountered smelled clean or looked particularly sanitary, including the examination room. I was made to feel pressured and like there was imment demise to the dog for being past due for flea/tick treatment and a fecal sample, even though I repeatedly stated that I would relay this info to the dog's owner. No one respected that I was only there for a vaccination appointment (per the dog owner) and not a bunch of other services. The veterinarian was rude (see below response) and nearly argumentative. I did not like that the vet insisted upon removing the dog to a separate room, where I could not observe the vaccines being given. If this was my dog, I would have asked for an explanation and not complied without good reason. I would *never* recommend this vet in good conscience to anybody. Full vaccines cost over $350. There are several better options in this area, please do not choose this practice.
