How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Companion Veterinary 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.

Dr Amy is one of the best Vets I have ever met. Her compassion and passion for her patients and their family is unmatched. There’s no denying how excited my little Betsy girl gets to see everyone in the clinic and how trusting she is to be in the care of the vets and vet techs at Companion. We are so happy with the care we receive here ❤️

I can't say enough great things about this clinic, every visit with my dogs has been a positive experience! They prioritize the well-being of their patients, including those who are fearful or uncomfortable with handling and vet care. The staff can read dog body language well, adjusting their approach to ensure my dogs feel safe and secure. I really appreciate their efforts to check that the waiting area clear when we come/go, which helps my pup who is fearful of strangers. Their understanding of both health and behavior makes what could be a stressful situation so much easier! We see Dr. Amy, she has been thorough and attentive, listens to my concerns and never makes me feel like I am being “too much” for asking questions. I appreciate the time she takes with us and her treatment recommendations have greatly improved my dogs' wellness and daily care. In addition to vet visits, we've participated in training classes (online and in person) and private fear-free sessions, all of which have been game-changers. The qualified trainers and positive reinforcement methods have helped build my dog's confidence in many different situations. Special thanks to Janna, Christy, and Jessica for your support! I love that this is an independently owned, family-run clinic. Its clear that the Benoits are committed to providing the highest level of care, while setting a standard of compassion and fear-free practices for their clients and the community. The service and attention we've received has exceeded my expectations on every level. I highly recommend their services and wish all pets could experience the same level of care, consideration, and support in their veterinary treatments. Thank you to the Companion team for everything you do! We woof you- Alecia, Lala & Dale

We were referred to Companion Vet Clinic after two consecutive poor experiences at a nearby clinic in the Southeast area of Edmonton. Right away, Companion was professional, personable, and welcoming. Although it is nowhere near where we live, it is well worth the drive and time to get there. We were booked with Dr. Benoit and wow is he patient, kind, and incredibly good with our dog. Somehow, he finds a way to keep her calm and can easily administer eye drops or perform a quick scan. He can complete tasks that would usually be difficult given her energy and attention span. Dr. Benoit answers all of our questions without any judgment and is super patient as we are new parents to our dog and have lots of questions. Overall, our experience has been 12/10, and we are so grateful to have found this clinic and Dr. Benoit. HIGHLY, Highly, highly recommend.

I switched to this clinic because my dog was so nervous of the vet, which stressed me out, which stressed him out even more! I dreaded vet appointments. This clinic is amazing. All of the staff I’ve spoken with are so kind and really willing to take time to help. My dog has seen Dr. Amy, she was so lovely to both of us. My dog has pancreatitis and she took time to talk to me and answer all of my questions. Previously I’d felt that vets in other clinics were dismissive of my questions and concerns. She helped to put my mind at ease. My dog was so nervous he wouldn’t let her do an exam. She suggested cooperative care training. We’ve done 5 sessions so far with Janna. I’m so impressed with this program. We went from me having to carry my dog into the clinic because he was afraid to him running into the clinic on his own, happy to see his new friend. Janna has been so supportive. She has a really nice way with my dog (and me)! I’d highly recommend this training if your dog is nervous of the vet, it is well worth the cost. Overall I am so impressed with this vet clinic. It has resulted in some really profound changes for my dog, I am so grateful I found them!

During our visit here, Dr Benoit was thorough and detailed during the examination of my puppy. He was very knowledgeable and spent a great deal of time explaining his condition & answering any questions. The vet technicians and reception staff were also friendly. Thank you, Companion Vet team! :)
