How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Alberta Veterinary Dentistry
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

I cannot thank Alberta Veterinary Dentistry enough for the care and compassion they showed me and my cat, Razz. After three long months of uncertainty and worry, Dr. Rigby and her incredible team provided me with the clarity I so desperately needed. At my initial consult on September 11, they immediately recognized the urgency of Razz’s condition and were able to squeeze him in for imaging within just 4 days. Sadly, the results revealed nasal cancer rather than the dental issue my regular vet had suspected. While the news was heartbreaking, I am deeply grateful for the professionalism, honesty, and compassion shown throughout the process. Dr. Rigby and her staff were sensitive to all of my concerns, answered my questions with patience, and treated both me and Razz with the utmost respect and care. Their commitment to getting answers quickly brought me peace of mind in a very difficult time. I wholeheartedly recommend Alberta Veterinary Dentistry. They are a truly exceptional team, and I am so grateful for their support.

I have nothing but the utmost respect for this Veterinary Dentistry, Doctor Rigby and her staff. They are kind, welcoming, respectful, so knowledgeable, phenomenal, fantastic, wonderful, and the list goes on and on. They were extremely informative with our furry family member Leon, and knew exactly what he needed to get back to being his normal self. Doctor Rigby and her team (everybody including the front desk staff), were so kind and gentle with him. It’s never a comfortable feeling knowing that your family member (the fur babies do count!) is in major need of help, but they made this process so easy, and so worth it. Our boy is in recovery mode but he is in great spirits, and if you have any reserved feelings about doing anything here, please do not hesitate. I would recommend them 100/10. If we ever need anymore dental care for our boy, I won’t even hesitate bringing him back here. Thank you Doctor Rigby and team, you guys have made everything worth the wait, and outperformed the hype of the right dental care! We love this office, and have a love for the staff that took Leon in and got him back on the road to being his happy loving self! The Hyggen Family

My dog and I did not have a good experience here. But I don’t live to disparage other companies. I would just say buyer beware.

My kitty Ziggy Bear is doing so fabulous! Great team, always kind and patient, great care, very knowledgeable doctors! I love this place. And so does my little Ziggy, he has no teeth at the age of 12 but he is a happy cat, now called "Gummy Bear"

Alberta veterinary dentistry was amazing, and exceeded expectations from start to finish. We were referred from our vet in BC. Dr Rigby did a thorough phone consult, explaining the procedure, any risks, and what to expect during healing. On the day of surgery, we were provided with updates throughout the day, and a few of the ladies kept our pup company while he was waking up from surgery. Discharge was very thorough and they followed up the following day to see how he was doing. Once back home, our dog ended up losing a stitch and having to be seen by our regular vet. Dr Rigby talked with our vet and helped to determine the best solution. The whole team at AB veterinary dentistry went above and beyond. Their knowledge and care for their patients and their owners is so clear! Would not hesitate to go here again if we ever need to see a veterinary dentist again. Thank you for all that you do! You all really made a stressful time much easier.
