How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Southern Regional Veterinary Specialists

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.

My blue heeler, Ranger, had a rectal polyp and our vet in pcb recommended we come here for surgery. From my first call with Ms. Nancy, they’ve been so helpful and caring. Yesterday was our appointment and they were nothing short of amazing. The doctor was patient and explained things to me clearly and effectively. Took him back for surgery and he was home a couple hours later feeling much better. While I hope we never “need” them again, I’m certain that we’ll choose them if we ever do! They’ll take amazing care of your babies, and of you, too. Thank you SO much, SRVS!

Dr Martin is amazing! He did the TTA surgery on our two year old lab and we felt so confident in him! We could tell that Indy was so comfortable with him too and Dr Martin made us feel completely at ease! His staff were amazing too. We called the night staff to check in on our pup overnight and they were so responsive and took great care of our baby.

Our furbaby Isaac was referred to SRVS/Dr. Martin, due to a mass cell tumor on his abdomen. From our initial assessment appointment through the post op stage, SRVS and the support staff treated Isaac and us (parents) with respect, compassion, and professionalism from start to finish. SRVS made us feel like Isaac’s well being and quality of life following the procedure was the #1 priority. SRVS communicated with us during the entire process and went above and beyond to make sure all our questions were answered and that Isaac would receive the care he deserved to the best of their ability. Dr. Martin was thorough with the procedure he performed and communicated the details with us. Mrs. Nancy in the front office did great following up with us and making sure appointments were scheduled and followed through. If you care about your furbaby like we do, I would highly recommend SRVS.

We were so pleased with the care we received at SRVS. Every single team member was so kind, helpful and made a stressful experience so smooth. Thank you to Dr. Martin, Nancy, and Rebecca for all you did for us and our sweet girl Sadie!

My little dog Penny has had 2 successful knee surgeries ( one on each knee). Dr. Martin and his staff were very kind and compassionate with me and Penny and took time to explain what needed to be fixed and how it would be fixed. They were available 24 hours in case I needed to call with concerns. She is on her way to a full recovery and so thankful to SRVS for helping her live a pain free life.
