How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Stonewater 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.

Today was our first visit for an emergency. They got us in quickly and didn’t hesitate on a plan of action. Dr Robinson and the entire team were amazing! They loved on my fur baby so much. They all did an amazing job of explaining everything and there were no unexpected expenses that blind sided me. We felt like we were family there. Highly recommend.

My dog's regular vet would not work him in during biz hours for an emergency (despite only well visits being scheduled) & instead offered an appt. 8 days later! And, my 6 dogs (& fosters) have been patients for over 15 years. I feel that's not compassionate or professional. I called Stonewater and explained that I was not a patient but had an emergency and they saw him within the hour! Now that's customer service and concern. Dr. Richardson and staff were wonderful. Thank you from Rip & me.

We love the team at Stonewater! When you walk through the doors, everyone is super friendly, and you quickly get escorted to your room. Dr. Barta is great at explaining all of the services and best plan for your dog. Our puppy loves it!

Our fur babies (Tabby Garfield and Oreo) love going here for their care. They are exceptional with both of them. The plug in they have in cat room makes them feel right at home. They like getting in the window to look around before seeing Dr. Barta. The front desk crew is super sweet and helpful. The techs Ryan and Melissa are wonderful. The cost is reasonable. Could not ask for a better place with people who really have a love for animals.

We are brand new to the area, we had already brought one of our pups to Stonewater and had a LOVELY experience. They are so unbelievably kind and TRUE animal lovers. On Friday we brought our elderly Boston terrier Cheese in (we had already known he likely had liver disease or cancer and was on borrowed time). They ordered blood work and addressed our concerns of his declining health and took SINCERE care in his well being. Sadly, Cheese’s health declined quickly over night and passed in my arms the next day. Today, I received a condolence card, with hand written messages from each one of their staff. I am without words for how thankful and touched I am for their commitment to their furry patients but also for going out of their way for the patient’s humans, particularly in their time of grief.
