How to Save Money at Family Veterinary Hospital of Stone Ridge

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.

What can I say about Dr. Hendrickson AND her staff to truly explain what an amazing veterinarian she is… I have had experiences with five different animals with her. From the front desk staff to the vet techs the service is exceptional and family friendly. Both of my sisters bring their family pets here as well and have very good experiences. The latest and most notable was a cat ghost that I adopted from a rural shelter. She developed A tumor and when she lost weight I got extremely worried. The veterinarians office was completely booked but because this kitty was in distress and although I had never brought him to this clinic, they offered to do a drop off. In my 25 years of rescuing animals I have never had anyone rearrange their schedule for me to bring in a sick animal at a moments notice. When I brought him in they were ready for him and we were called with the bad news that he had a tumor. It was in operable and we did need to put him down. My entire family arrived that evening and realized from all the stuff that every single person in that office had spent time with Ghost- petting him, taking care of him. He was given a large area instead of a cage. It’s because he mattered to them and it’s because they care. When it came time to put him down we took an hour past they’re closing and they never pushed us along. I didn’t even realize they had closed an hour before until after we left. I would’ve expected to spend A lot of money for something like this. The truth is I’ve been taking dogs there and cats and I have never felt like I even close to over paid. As a matter of fact a lot of things that I would’ve expected them to pay for that I know I’ve even had to pay for at four different vet clinics in South Riding and Stoneridge I did not have to pay for at this clinic. Thankful for all they do and thought other people would love to find this great veterinarian clinic right in our neighborhood - Although I would’ve driven much further!

We have been going here since 2015ish so at least seven years. This week I saw Dr. Hendrickson and she was above and beyond awesome!! They actually called to make sure that my dog is OK after “hours” that means a lot to me! I absolutely love them! It is hard for me to find a place that I trust and I give them all the credit in the world for being AMAZING. Thank you all for being there when we need you!!!

Dr Hendrickson and Dr Chau have been nothing short of amazing. We are fairly new to Family Vet. However, we have already had to use their services a number of times. We have an older English Bulldog, Crimson, who was very sick. Dr Hendrickson worked tirelessly, and no doubt saved his life. Recently another incident happened on a Saturday when Dr Hendrickson happened to be out. There was an emergency with Crimson. We drove to the vet without calling. When we got there they were already closed, but were still there. They opened the doors and Dr Chau tended to Crimson as if it were normal business hours, and didn’t at all seem agitated that we were there 2 hours passed closing. She patched his foot up, and got his medication. I can’t recall the name of the vet tech, but she has always been wonderful as well. She also stayed and assisted with Crimson. We have finally found a vet we trust, and we couldn’t be happier.
