How to Save Money at Stones River 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.

Getting 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.

Dr. Coiner and Adam are awesome, transparent, and incredibly dependable professionals! my cat loves the cat tree by the window they have in their exam rooms. It's so cute and considerate to keep kitty stuff available to them

Dr. Jennings and her team are amazing and so caring. We lost one of our cats pretty suddenly to a bone marrow disorder. They helped us coordinate a plan for care for him with specialists at NVS and then helped us through the later decision to put him to sleep, as well as helping our remaining cat to adjust afterwards. They were in our corner giving support every step of the way. I trust their advice and know our babies are in excellent hands! (Hoping to boost the algorithm by adding photos – Enjoy our goofballs!)

We first started using SRVH when we rescued our first pup Dexter and then his little brother Fozzy! Both of our boys are highly energetic and VERY vocal and received nothing but kind words from every member of staff. We've occasionally had to board them and they're great about sending photos and updates about both boys and they always look so happy. Their services are very well priced, every member of staff is incredibly helpful & kind and honestly we've never had a negative experience. Our boys mean everything to us and finding a place that has amazing staff (like SRVH) that has treated us so well is amazing. I only wish we could bring them with us! Thank you all so much, The Sealey's.

They recently removed several skin cancers from my dog and I think they did a very good job. We are thankful for the staff and vet there to go the extra mile so that we caught the cancer in early stage. The fees for the procedure was reasonable in my opinion. I would recommend anyone to consider bringing their pets there.

We needed to get an international health certificate to get our son's cat to him in Germany. When other's said they wouldn't do it. Dr. Coiner said she would help. Not only were she and the staff caring and supportive, when there were problems, she went above and beyond to make sure we got the certificate on time. This was our first experience with them and they have won us over in deciding where to get our pet care needs met. Thank you to Dr. Coiner and the staff at Stones River for getting our son and his cat reconnected.
