How to Save Money at Cedarview Animal 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.

Wow... Just wow! Cedarview is in an easy to access location, very spacious and very tidy. Both Lisa and Dr. Sparks have such a calming, supportive presence. 💙 They are knowledgeable and patient, taking care to answer all of my questions and ease my worries. The examination was thorough and did not feel rushed at all. They have no interest in upselling their clients - they base their service recommendations on what will be best for your fur baby, so it was very affordable! You can tell they really love animals, and love their job! I did not get the name of the receptionist, but she was also just such a gem! I could rave about Cedarview Animal Hospital all day... I am just so, so happy with my experience. Thank you all kindly for making this a wonderful experience for an anxious cat... And an anxious cat mom as well!

We switched clinics in December, Dr. Sparks was kind, thorough and took the time to explain everything to us including different choices we could make. He was honest and was open to answer our questions truthfully. Clinic staff was very nice and professional.

After some disappointing experiences with other clinics in Barrhaven, we are absolutely thrilled and grateful to have found this gem! The clinic is spotless, and the staff exemplify professionalism and kindness. Our cat, Luna, was extremely nervous, but the vet and technician went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable. They were incredibly sweet, patient, and gentle, which meant so much to us as pet owners. The service here is nothing short of amazing, and we couldn’t recommend this clinic more highly. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Luna!

Brought Toby for his first visit at Cedarview Animal Hospital today, and had a stellar experience. From the front office staff to the veterinarian, everyone was extremely friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Toby usually shows some signs of distress/anxiety at the vet, but not this time. He even let the vet-tech cut his nails, which is unheard of! He also loved the added unlimited cheese-whiz frozen treats throughout the appointment. Definitely didn't know what I was missing until I moved to Cedarview Animal Hospital. I'm looking forward to a long and fruitful relationship with this veterinarian organization. Highly recommended!

We saw Dr.Gumley for the 1st time yesterday. Him and his staff were amazing. This Doc really knows his stuff! We were very impressed and everyone was so friendly. I can't say enough great things about this place except you pet is in good hands here for sure. Here's a pic of new patient Lexi!
