How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Auburn University 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

The staff and facility were nice, BUT that will not make up for the fact that our dog Lucy's pelvic fractures, spinal injuries, and resulting blocked colon went completely unnoticed for her 2 night stay. We were given every indication that Lucy would make a full recovery, but her tail and two toes would need to be amputated. We made an appointment with a local vet to have her surgeries bc the cost was $3000 cheaper than the quote we were given to have the surgeries in the hospital (though, i will say, they were completely open and blunt at the high cost of their services). During that appointment the vet surgeon did x-rays and found all of the internal injuries these morons missed. The surgeon called them "extremely extensive". As a result, we had to euthanize our poor baby after spending over $1200 thinking she could be saved. It has been a heartbreak for our entire family. Especially since we were told she would make a full recovery. If I could give no stars I would. As far as I'm concerned, future veterinarians are wasting their money studying here. RIP Lucy.

My local veterinarian was unable to help. My dog was apparently hit by a car his femur broken into four pieces. I was able to get hold of Auburn veterinary hospital where they were able to install a plate.

I took my dog here because his ear was bleeding from a dog fight late Sunday evening. 4 hours pass and I’m told they sedated him, cleaned the wound and he has sutures. I get my dog and his whole entire head is wrapped up. I was told he has sutures and I was charged for sutures. I take him home and the next day I take him to our normal vet Opelika Animal hospital and they unwrap him and there are no sutures. When you take your animal somewhere as in a Veterinarian, you assume the issue will be resolved especially when you spend 4 hours there and over $400.00. He sat here all night with me bleeding because he had no sutures to stop the bleeding, Opelika Animal Hospital cost me $143 to sedate my dog and give him sutures. Do not go to auburn university emergency vet clinic. I have attached photos of how he was when we got home Sunday/Monday morning and picture of his ear that were taken at Opelika Animal Hospital. Along with photos of him still bleeding(the same condition he was in when I brought him to AU emergency vet) .

They took care of our blocked cat very well. They were very helpful and accommodating with us transferring our baby to our family vet. It's expensive as emergency places are, but less than the emergency vet in Columbus would have been and well worth the cost and time to save a loved pet.

We got great news here in Auburn. She is thought to have outgrown the pectus excavates or was misdiagnosed by local vet. It is huge and pristine. The people working or students there were warm and professional.
