How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Crestwood Veterinary Centre

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

I like this clinic cuz I really felt as if the staff cared about my pet. They were really flexible and accommodating with the restrictions of my situation, disabled and husband away for work often. They had the wisdom of pet owners that complimented their clinical knowledge, and I felt I was getting really good care and understanding. The prices were standard, everything was listed and clear on my paperwork, and I didn't feel pressured to spend extra money on things that weren't important to me. Definitely recommend.

I am just amazed at how the team helped me today. My dog accidentally impaled himself with a large branch this morning at Buena Vista dog park whilst playing in the forested area. I rushed him through to Crestwood and they were fantastic. I am so grateful to them for what they have done. He was in theatre in under 5 minutes and is recovering well. Thank you thank you thank you

They did an amazing job with our dog’s surgery in his elbows and coordinating with our family as we are from out of town. Many phone calls, texts, and emails were sent- great communication. The best care!

Fantastic place. They took such amazing care of my cat and treater her so well. When your animal comes home and has no issues or anxiety you know the people care very much about your animals wellbeing. I've had some really negative experiences with my cats coming home from the vet (different place) completely traumatized. And this was not the case. Thank you everyone from Sarah and Little Godzilla who is doing very well after getting fixed 😺❤️

My dog started sneezing uncontrollably and blood coming out one evening all of a sudden so I rushed her to the nearest open vet which was Rosslyn. They advised me she needed a scope and flush so in the morning I phoned my regular vet who does not have a scope. FYI if this ever happens to your dog and they need a scope (or if they ingest an object and need a scope) what I have learned is that very few vet clinics have a scope. The emergency clinics all do but they quoted me outrageous costs. $6500-7500 is what guardian emergency quoted me plus couldn’t do it right away, boreal quoted me $3000 and up and couldn’t do it till next day, and pulse didn’t even quote me because they didn’t have anyone that could do it until the following week. By some act of god when I was frantically calling every clinic in the city to see if they could do a scope someone told me to try Crestwood vet and sure enough Crestwood got me in asap and the whole bill was $950. The vet tech I initially spoke to Billie was really great, very patiently and knowledgeable answered my questions which was probably no small feat because I was an absolute emotional wreck and hadn’t slept in 24 hours and at that point had wasted time going to Pulse emergency vet who said they could do the scope on the phone but when I got there and after waiting two hours said they couldn’t do the scope till next week, plus had called probably 20 different clinics in edmonton area trying to find someone that could do the scope, all while watching my poor dog just be in pain. . At the clinic the vet was Erica (sorry can’t remember her last name ) who was also great. They phoned me as soon as the procedure was done to let me know they did in fact find a big piece of grass and that my dog was ok. I can’t even describe how relieved I was to have found someone to do the procedure before the weekend as my dog was just really uncomfortable and in pain I felt so bad for her and was worried about her having to wait till Monday. Not to mention that coming to Crestwood literally saved me thousands of dollars. Thank you Crestwood!
