How to Save Money at Mount Brydges Animal 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.

Amazing first-time experience today at Mount Brydges animal clinic. The Veterinarian & technician were both incredibly knowledgeable & compassionate. My cat is not the easiest to handle (he’s a big boy and highly anxious) so I truly appreciate their top notch professionalism & calm nature throughout the entire visit. Thank you so much for everything! I will definitely be recommending this clinic to family and friends in the future💕

Excellent staff. They dealt with Oden like seasoned pros. They were very attentive to our needs, but our dog was always their top priority. I can't praise highly enough.

I cannot begin to explain how much I love this clinic. We started with my service dog (now retired) getting her xrays awake, they just made sure it was affordable for me because I was worried about her. I then had 2 teeth removed on separate occasions. She was treated really well, and her being so used to being with me all of the time then, they would allow me to handle recovery. It made me feel really good to be trusted with her in that state. I never get sarcasm or dirty looks if I need to use any programs for help, and ive never received flack for being on ODSP. I was so happy with how hard and well they try to help us, that I brought in my cat for his teeth for a second opinion. This cat has vet anxiety and spit out his meds before we went in so I was nervous. Dr Osmond had Kevin relaxed. Ive never, ever had Kevin relaxed at the vet. They quoted me better than the low income vet, and again no flack for any help I used. They even put him on a cancellation list while we wait for his surgery date. I am so happy to have this clinic as an option, and I will continue to use them and recommend them in the future.

They have great staff and for the most part can accommodate quick emergencies. But pricey when it comes to blood work or X-rays but good when it comes to boosters and check ups. I have been taking my 5 cats and dog to them for years. Love it when they provide advice that isn't brand specific and can be priced out at local facilities. Very clean inspection rooms.

Mount Brydges Animal Hospital allowed my beloved cat to suffer for 9 months with cancer, while leading me to believe she was battling IBS and that a food change would help. Steroids would have worked within two weeks to help with IBS/IBD/gastro issues, but instead the vets continued to renew scripts for prednisolone for months on end while I tried everything possible to help my cat. It wasn’t until I went to a different vet in Toronto that their complete negligence was laid out to me. By the time I saw an internal specialist (a day after learning the truth about Mt. Brydges vets’ lack of care), Scout was beyond saving and suffering horribly with cancer. I euthanized her at home a day later. Had I known she wasn’t going to improve or get better, there’s no way I would have allowed her to suffer and decline for 9 months. I am considering going to the board of veterinarians to have this case reviewed as I’m told it would lead to serious repercussions but my heart is still broken over the loss of my soul cat. There’s no way I would entrust any of these individuals with a companion animal I love. Stay far away from this clinic if you’re looking for proper and truthful communication in the worst of times, sadly, when owners need it most to make a compassionate decision.
