How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Metro Cat 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

I have brought all my Kitties to Metro Cat Clinic. I have taken over 4 dozen kitties from new born to 21 year olds here since the Clinic opened many years ago. All my kitties received expert care. We have had some very tough emergency situations over the years and some kitties with rare diseases. All I feel were treated with compassion for the kitty and I as well as expert medical knowledge/skills. My kitties still go there.

We have pursued a respiratory problem with our cat since he was a few months old. He is 6 1/2 years old now and we had the good fortune to take him to Metro cat Clinic for an evaluation recently. Less than a week later we already see improvement with his issues and feel as if the necessary time was spent in helping us understand his problem. Everyone in the clinic was both friendly and helpful and listened to our concerns. I only wish we had discovered Dr. Montgomery and her staff years ago!

Called to make an appointment to get my cat looked at for a uti, was berated for her not being fixed yet. Took my money somewhere else. Roxanne was rude, everyone else seemed friendly and answered my questions to the best of their ability.

Our kitty Nibbles enjoyed her multi-day stay with Metro Cat Clinic. She was very calm and not at all anxious when we picked her up.We will use Metro again and recommend them highly!

My first visit was an “illness exam” for one of my cats; I live in a small, rural town with no veterinary services, and all the veterinarians in an 80-mile radius are “traditional” dog and cat practices; in my experience my cats’ needs were never fully met in those dog-centric environments, and because of that I often wondered if cats were Truly welcome along with the dogs, or merely tolerated? ! but I wasn’t sure if driving 90 miles one-way was reasonable option; then with one of my cats having asthma, I needed to be sure she was getting cat-centric treatment; now almost a week later with the new treatment my cat seems to be back to normal without a long-acting steroid shot or antibiotics! I feel like the veterinarian was thorough and creative and care-full in a way that the “cat only” practice enabled, and I’m sure that we took a step in the right direction
