How to Save Money at South Valley Equine - Heritage Location
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.

My horses have seen Dr. Jake Cox since we moved. He’s always so incredibly calm and so kind them. Today we very sadly had to euthanize our older horse. Everyone there was so incredibly kind and sympathetic, they even cut my mares braided tail and put it in a sweet keepsake box for me. They handled her with such care, never once rushed us as we said our goodbyes, during and after. They made an extremely difficult time just a little more bearable with their kindness and compassion. Thank you again Dr. Jake and thank you to the SVE Heritage staff.

The team at South Valley Equine in Ogden treated me and my sweet mare with professionalism and compassion. They got me in last minute on a busy Monday for an urgent problem. Dr. Jake Cox is top notch! He took lots of time examining my horse, explaining the diagnosis, treatment regimen, when to be worried or return to vet and expected outcome. He did everything he could for us & was so kind. I will definitely come back for any future concerns. Thank you, thank you for helping us & our mare!

Today was an emotional day bringing our horse to be put down. Everyone was kind and it was clear they had all been through this, and understood. They were running late because of a previous "complication" but we never felt rushed, and were given every opportunity to choose how this was to go. After giving us all the time we needed, Dr Cox handled it well with immediate relief to our suffering horse. Our sincere thanks to all staff at South Valley Veterinary in Farr West.
