How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Red Barn Animal Hospital
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.

We went on two vacations these past two months and left our babies at Red Barn both times. They are amazing there ! I know that my dogs aren’t always the quietest and they were treated so well. Love these peoples!

Just not the same now that the new vet is here. My dog had been seen here since he was just a few months old. He was given a clean bill of health at that time. As he aged, he began panting without exertion or heat of any kind. Each time we were in the office, I'd ask about his panting, only to be ignored. Keep in mind this is my 2nd Pomeranian & they are known to have certain health issues. Fast forward to present, my dog now has heart murmur and collapsed trachea. I'm not saying they could've prevented this, but they could've at least tried to help. I take the dog in to a fill in vet at this location & suddenly his trachea is completely collapsed and has a heart murmur. This didn't happen overnight and they know it. I do feel his years were shortened by this oversight. I'm very disappointed and pray this doesn't happen to another pet. I can't understand why they would do this to us.

I had to take my son’s Doberman, Charlie, in for parvo. They were friendly & very professional. My son sent me with $200 cash. The treatment came with a $308 price tag & a 50/50 chance of life. When I told them my son only sent $200 but would cover anything else on Monday (this was a Friday). They were going to give the food they sent at no cost but were literally going to remove some of the medications from the bag. This does not sit well with me but I understand to an extent. They have to get paid too. However, the cost of treatments are very expensive. If you can’t pay they won’t work with any payment plans. Most all vets want cash up front and this one is no different. The reason I wasn’t happy with Charlie’s visit is because parvo is a death sentence for most. Them taking meds but giving food was upsetting. I have food it’s the medical I needed. Thankfully, I had enough on my card to cover the other $108+change. If you have local people that work and can make payments you should allow some sort of payment plan. It’s a hard time for all of us. The lack of compassion is not needed in these times. Also if you have a dog with parvo, the medication is not a luxury but a need. RB is no different than any other vets around that I know of. If your pet needs help, they will help, provided you have the $$$ upfront. I gave Charlie 8 ccs of Pedialyte every 15 minutes for 36 hours along with the medications and iv fluids as prescribed. I also added some vit b12 & vit c. It was rough and there were moments I thought he wasn’t going to pull through but he did. If they would work with people and have a little more compassion I’d of been more happy with their services.

Dr Creel & His Staff Are Super Helpful & Confronting! Our Mama Dog needed a checkup after birthing her 1st litter of pups ( Chainsaw & Muggliston Blue & Tan Bulldogs). Prices are extremely reasonable! WE felt very educated on the care we needed to provide at home before we left! Our Zena wasn't rushed in & out of the office visit- we felt she was definitely taken care of medically! Thank you all at Red Barn Animal Clinic!
