How to Save Money at Canandaigua Veterinary Hospital
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.

Such a caring staff. I recently had to put my 15 and a half year old pug to rest. They made it as peaceful and comforting as possible. When I get a new pet, I hope to have them as a vet.

Dr.Jarnot is amazing and the staff is wonderful!! I have crippling anxiety and everyone is very patient with me when I have any questions or concerns about Dolly and Niro. I feel blessed to have found such a kind and compassionate veterinary office😇

We had to say goodbye to our Yellow Labrador Retriever of 15 years. Not only was Dr. Rockcastle integral in her care and getting her to 15 years, when it came time to let her go, Dr. Rockcastle and the office staff were so compassionate and caring, not only for Ellie, but also for us. They allowed us the time it took for us to say goodbye. We never felt rushed, only that she was there to help us through the transition no matter how long it took.

I recently had to say goodbye to my 18+ year old cat. Dr. Jarnot, Dr. Rockcastle and Dr. Stiner were so amazing and compassionate along with the wonderful receptionists and techs. I can’t thank them enough for their kindness and care. I have been going here since we moved to the area 9 years ago and I highly recommend Canandaigua Veterinary Hospital.

My dog had Kennel Cough only a couple of months after his vaccination. He was in bad shape, and I could not get in to this location because they were closed down, no message on the machine, no answer when calling, so I drove to the location since they are scheduled to be open. Arrived to just a note on the door. Called the emergency and after hour affiliated Pittsford location...told it wasn't considered an emergency. Went through the others on the call list, and they could set up the "Emergency visit" in about a week. Ended up going to Cornell Veterinary School an hour and 40 minutes away. After fluids, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, etc. were needed due to pneumonia starting. This place is overbooked and understaffed. Meaning that they have too many patients for their size.... it is not an effective business practice. I will be looking elsewhere for future needs. I did reach out for an appointment… well visits are 4 months out. It’s sad that current clients can’t get in when they need to to help maintain their pets health.
