How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Prairie Winds Animal Clinic
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.

The staff were so amazing! My little guy went in for dental and first off the price is so good! and they took extremely good care of him. I was also very nervous and they were super kind and understanding! Would definitely recommend!

Yesterday (October 4 2024) I went to this vet with my cat Johnny they got us in so quickly when we were in need of seeing a vet unexpectedly. I’ve honestly never received so much compassion from such kind people in my entire life. The ladies at the front went over and beyond with making my mom and I feel so much love during a difficult situation. As well as helping us find the right emergency vet hospital again going over and beyond. I will recommend this place over and over again. Thank you so much to everyone that we dealt with yesterday. I will never forget each and every one of you. Lots of love.

If I could give 0 stars, I would but instead I will be giving this clinic a 1. For starters - one of their veterinarians is very skilled and deserves to work at a better clinic. However, Dr. Sandhu is not good with cats and nor should she work with them. I was super unimpressed with how she handled my 4 month kitten. For context - this kitten does not bite, hiss, scratch, nothing. He is the sweetest kitten. She kept saying “oh this cat is feisty,” every time the cat moved or wanted to jump off the examination table. In order for her to give him his vaccine, she required FOUR people to hold him down. My kitten weighs under 2kgs (you can look at the photo for size context). He was just squirmy cause he is a KITTEN. But she acted genuinely terrified of the poor creature. He wasn’t hissing, or baring his teeth. He was just trying to explore the room. My kitten was perfectly fine with the other vet who only required me to hold his front paws, and was able to give him his shot. On top of this, my partner kept asking Dr. Sandhu questions which were left unanswered. I was very unimpressed. Their customer service wasn’t very good either, and it’s my understanding that they fired the one staff member who was actually very helpful. The other staff always seem stressed or panicked, despite no one being in the waiting room and the clinic not appearing very busy. Overall, this clinic is ran very poorly. It might be cheap, but there are equally cheap clinics that provide your animal with 10x’s better care.

Brought my miniature horse (my huge boxer/ mastiff dog) in to get spayed at this clinic. Staff was absolutely incredible with her and were super knowledgeable, professional, and sweet with us. Prices were very reasonable compared to other vets in the city and they did a tremendous job with the spay. Highly recommend to anyone searching for a spay/ neuter clinic with reasonable prices and fantastic staff

They always listen, they support your fur babies in the best way possible and show love and kindness/affection to your babies! They are reasonably priced! I have never had a single issue with any of the staff and would 10/10 recommend this clinic to all around me. Thank you Priarie winds animal clinic for being the best to my fur babies!
