How to Save Money at Country Hills Veterinary 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.

I called at least 15 offices and hospitals combined today. The people at Country Hills were the first and only ones to be concerned about my pet baby's health and quality of life. The hearts and minds of these professional beautiful souls here are a blessing!! I will only take my pets to Country Hills Veterinary Clinic. These are the true life savers. God bless them!!

Drs. Ainsley, Patin, Lehne and really all the staff @ Country Hills Vet Clinic are HEROES! They know us as Daisy Grey’s people 😉 Twice we almost lost her, (due to medical issues) and both times they were there for her and us. A little back story: My wife and I waited 10yrs searching for the right companion for both of us. Approx 2 months after having this not-so-small, but gentle creature with us, she got sick not once, but twice. Requiring two separate surgeries. Long story short, we’ve made a commitment to this being and we will do everything we can to honor it & Country Hills is helping us with that. We’ve found our forever pet & vet 🤓

Dr Dusty, we love you so much! You saved Big Buddha’s life last year when everyone else gave up! I came in with little hope, and came out two days later with a healthy happy boy. We are here again getting his annual physical, and of course nothing but the best!! His receptionist Sydney, is the sweetest she can be! If you are looking for a place that cares more about your fur baby than getting a Jaguar, this is your vet. Thank you all for your commitment to all of our animals. Without you there would be a lot more moms, and dad with broken hearts. I look forward to coming for the next 50 years lol. Thanks again for saving my Buddah Bear. Lisa V.

This vet was just absolutely amazing to me. The staff was incredible and so kind. Dr Pattin helped me out in the biggest way possible and they took such good care of my bunny Cherry as she had to stay overnight. I can’t recommend them enough! 🩷 Thank you, all of you.

I have never been to a vet that checks all the boxes ! I live 2 hours away and they will be my go to vet regardless. ✅Care over Profit ✅Timely Appointments ✅Showing Genuine Care ✅Patient with my questions ✅Keeps you in the loop of your babies care! ✅Amazing staff all around! ✅best Vet ever! They saved my son and didn’t put money first. I have never seen this be done. Jordan has such a beautiful heart. Dr.L performed a splenectomy on my 11 year old boy and he’s doing amazing. Dr. A fixed him up after he got cuts in his mouth. Both times I wasn’t worried about anything because they provided such amazing care, communication and had a care first mindset over all !!! Thank you. Jordan and Docs I owe you all for life.
