How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Well Being Medicine for Animals
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.

Unmatched care! Dr. Natalie has a passion for what she does and takes amazing care of her patients. She spends the time explaining each step, process, and protocol, in extreme depth. They also do whatever it takes to figure out the root of the cause!! Every time we come in we have a great experience and it’s so personable compared to other vets. I would highly recommend Well Being for everyone!

I trust and respect Dr. Natalie and her team to always have my pets best interest and to keep them healthy and happy. Sadie the Irish lassie, and Stella the Goldie Girl love her too. I'm grateful for her kind heart and animal expertise. She worked wonders on two elderly setters we had who struggled with various ailments, allowing them to lead a higher quality of life in their final happy years.

Dr. Natalie is a very caring and knowledgeable veterinarian. The members of the staff are very helpful and friendly. Bernhard and I love and appreciate Dr. Natalie and her staff. Bernhard is always excited, in a good way, when we come to the clinic. He loves the staff and the treatments (laser therapy and Piezo). He is thrilled when Dr. Natalie enters his room for chiropractic and acupuncture. Bernhard is now a 3 year old GSD who is flourishing under her care.

**Updated review*** Awe, thank you “Dr” Natalie for proving how unprofessional you are. Wolf in sheep’s clothing. God bless you. However, the first appointment for a check up took an unexpected 3 hours and $300. I was willing to look over that. But then I realized I was charged for a supplement that was supposed to be mailed to me, yet it never was. I contacted the office for a refund. I’ve yet to receive that money back…my appointment was well over a month ago. I also learned I was supposed to receive a folder with more info on diet and holistic care at our first visit. I didn’t receive that. I was told they would mail it to me. I still have yet to receive that as well. I asked for an estimate on the acupuncture treatment mentioned for my cat, I still haven’t received that. Communication at this office is a huge problem. I thought it was a fluke, but once I finally got a hold of someone via email, she proceeded to tell me most people are used to corporate clinics and don’t understand how their independent practice works. They should not assume they know what a customer is accustomed to and blame their lack of customer service and communication on that. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this practice.
