How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Connolly Animal 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.

They take such good care of my sweet baby Asher! Care is quick and seamless! I love that they send me emails to remind me of appointments!

Thank you for the response to my review. We're new to the area and heard good things about Dr. Connolly. I'm sure the young lady up front isn't representative of the rest of the clinic. The second dog was just a comment as in "down the road" being newly relocated and needing a good vet. He wasn't needing to be seen so I'm not sure where that came from. But after a pretty significant time on hold (which was fine), getting hung up on, having to call back (at 11:15am) and being told come back at 1pm as you close from 12-1 for lunch (again, also fine) but no mention of appointments or walk-ins accepted whatsoever. We show up to finally be informed "you need an appointment and we can see you at 3pm." I'm thinking, couldn't you have mentioned scheduling a 3pm appointment at 11:15am on the second call before telling me you open back up after lunch at 1pm and having me drive up there? I'd mentioned we are new to the area and were looking for a new vet clinic. So after that combines with the calls, lack of info at 11:15, I was done. Said nevermind and left. I have the patience of Job but I'm certain anyone would have been ready to call it quits at that point. Maybe/hopefully, the receptionist was just having a bad day and that isn't her typical level of customer service. Unfortunately, one staff member can sour what could've have been a great new business relationship for many years with good people who truly appreciate great veterinarians which I'm certain Dr. Connolly is!

I can't speak for the vet, but after leaving me on hold for a while before hanging up on me and having to call back, the heavy set girl at the counter with a nose ring gave us the worse run around at 11:15am before finally telling us they close from 12-1 and that we need an appointment, after driving to their location again at 1pm. Definitely need some better help! It was obvious she couldn't care less.!

My husband and I have been taking our 2 cats and 1 dog to Connolly Animal Clinic for a little over 2 years. Dr. Terrell is wonderful. All the staff is very friendly. Great place to take your pets!

Dr Matt Connally is a very caring, compassionate, knowledgeable veterinarian. Our family is so grateful for the care he gave our 18 year old siamese "Charley" in his last weeks of life. Great staff also!!! Thank you all for what you do for our animals. 💕 Lex & Yvonne Moody and family
