How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Alaska SPCA 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.

Easy to make an appointment, quick check in, friendly and just a few minutes later my pup was back with me. 3 year Rabies vaccine plus 2 other necessary vaccines for $80 vs the $400+ I paid last year to a chain vet clinic. The only negative is that there are some sketchy people hanging around the area. Not the fault of the clinic of course, but be warned. Don't leave your car unlocked whether you are in it or not.

I’m very grateful for the price and quality of the Alaska SPCA spay service. My kitty got spayed on 1/13 and she is recovering nicely. I was very lucky to have gotten a fast appointment. Once I filled out the spay request online, I received a call the next day and had a surgery appointment within 2 days. I dropped my kitty off for surgery at 7am and didn’t receive a call to pick her up until around 4:30 pm. When I received the call, the front desk lady went through discharge instructions briefly over the phone. When I arrived at the clinic, I was expecting to have the vet or a vet tech speak to me about the post-op recovery process, but this did not happen. I was extremely anxious about the process, since this is the first time I’ve ever had to get a pet fixed. I had quite a bit of questions and it would have been nice to at least speak to someone about the recovery process so that I could have felt reassured and confident about caring for my pet post-op. They do, however, allow you to call or email them with any questions you may have. Also, they do not give you pain medicine to take home for recovery. This was also a surprise to me as I was thought it was the norm to be given pain medication. Thankfully, my cat has shown no signs of being in pain.

I would like to thank the hard working people and the Veterinarians at this clinic. You are the only place that would help my beautiful Cali in a time of desperation and need. You saved her life, thanks to you guys my Cali will get to live to be old and happy. We were turned away by so many clinics because of our inconvenient financial situation. We feared we would lose Cali. Luckily God shined his light and at the very bottom was the Alaska SPCA clinic. This clinic not only saved a precious innocent life, but brought light to a family in a time of darkness. I highly recommend this clinic to EVERYONE with a furry family member. They will treat you and your babies right!

I am reviewing their spay and neuter services. My dogs vet gave us a quote for spay that was 5 times what the spca asks for! So we turned to them and were not disappointed in price, quality, their professionalism and their compassion for the animals. Thank you for spaying our girl (the one in the funny cone!)

I was very happy with the services we had gotton from them for our sweet lil baby. We got our dog nutered this week with Aspca at their new location. The tech was very knowledgeable and friendly. Then checking out my dog went fast and easy. I would reccomend them to my friends n family.
