How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Argo Vet
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.

They are amazing! My Molly had what we think was a cluster seizure, and they got her in immediately. They were so kind, compassionate, and understanding. They let me know all avenues of care available, without judgement regarding funds. I would absolutely recommend them! The initial assessment fee is affordable as well, at $115. (Affordable considering other vets). But for me, it was the compassion and love she was surrounded by the moment we arrived. ❤️🩹❤️🩹 A huge snuggly, warm thank you from me and Molly.

The team at Argo Vet has been amazing. My senior boy Gus has been going through a tough time lately, and they’ve been so kind and caring through it all. They make us feel welcome every visit and are always thorough and transparent. They message to check on how Gus is doing, and they always find time to squeeze him in when we need them.Their prices are extremely reasonable, especially given the level of care you receive. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a vet that treats your pet like family. I’m so happy we found them!! Thanks guys 😩❤️.

Everyone at Argo from the receptionists to the vets, is so caring and compassionate, you can tell that they truly care about your animals and not just making money. They really go above and beyond and are always working to find the best solution for me and my 2 kitties. I'm often on a bit of a budget and they're always very understanding and give me a lot of different options to be able to work within my budget. They've never once insisted that I had to do expensive tests or treatments or made me feel like I was a bad pet parent if I didn't (which is unfortunately something I've experienced with other vet clinics). I've lived in 3 different cities so I've been to lots of different vets and Argo has been the best by far. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

Dr Madeleine was so attentive and patient with us when we had to bring Rambo in for a sedated dental procedure. I was extremely nervous as this was his first sedated procedure but Madeleine and Lindsey went above and beyond to calm my anxiety, running lots of tests beforehand and texting me with updates throughout so I wouldn't worry. Everyone at the clinic seems to really care not just about your pet but about your feelings as well and I could not say better things about the treatment we recieved :)

Thanks for taking great care of Nacho! It can be stressful knowing he’s reactive, I worry we are too much of a hassle. The whole team was so great helping come up with strategies to be able to examine his ears. I really appreciate the compassionate care he receives. Thanks for being so patient with my boy!
