How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Pine Ridge Veterinary Clinic
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.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

I have lived in Cobourg for almost 6years! About 2 years into living in Cobourg I had the pleasure of owning 4 cats during my time here and Pine Ridge has cared for all of them. I had my first experience with them with my senior cat Delilah and then also now with my young cats Cosmo and Rosie. Everyone that works at Pine Ridge is so nice and caring for the people and animals that come through their doors. Dr.McKenzie has been my primary vet since I started coming to the clinic and I have always been happy with her care but also trust everything she has to say. I never feel pressured into any types of treatments, and I’m always given alternative options as well. They provide amazing care and make sure they are proving the best care for all their patents. I am always referring people to Pine Ridge because I am just so amazed and thankful for everyone that works there. Thank you Dr.McKenzie and everyone else for proving our fur babies with the best care possible

My dog and I have visited Dr. Mackenzie a few times now and I can confidently tell you that she’s officially my Veterinarian for life! My Doodle will be 9 in April, I have took him to different vets concerned with his skin health but Pine Ridge Veterinary is hands down the best clinic with the best staff. The vibe is welcoming, loving, caring and patient. It’s very clear they care about your pet and you. My doodle typically has anxiety being outside his comfort zone (aka his daily routine) but at Pine Ridge Vet clinic he’s been chill since day one. As a dog Mom who loves her dog more than anything, I highly recommend Pine Ridge. The staff and vets are all very lovely, passionate and there to help you. Please trust my words, you won’t regret it! Update*** My dog had surgery and is doing great! While he was under they cleaned his teeth… let me tell yah, the dudes teeth and breath are flawless.

Everyone here is so friendly and knowledgeable. My former vet retired and I was really sad that I had to switch practices as I really liked her team. However, Dr. Lindquist has been so wonderful, kind and caring that I'm actually sad I didn't switch sooner. He very obviously loves animals and I'm so grateful for all of the care and love my dogs have received here. Wonderful practice, excellent, knowledgeable, kind team. Thank you to everyone here so much for being so lovely and pleasant to deal with. I really appreciate you.

I'm so grateful for friends recommending us to bring our first-ever pup to Pine Ridge Vet. It's been 16 months, and we've had the best care.

Ì am a new client at this clinic and I have been very welcomed there. My black cat Felix was diagnosed with diabetes the first time I was there. Was not expecting that at all. Ì thought I was going to have to put him down but Dr Pat and Dr Karen convinced me that Felix could live with this disease and that they would help me manage it. My job as a petsitter takes me away from home and I would only be able to do his insulin once a day. The Drs said it would be better than nothing and let's just see how he does. He is doing fantastic. Ì am so grateful to the Drs at Pine Ridge Vet Clinic. Ì still have my Black Beauty and he'll be around for awhile yet!! Here he is with his buddy Yoda.
