How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Lusk 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

10.17.24 He put a rope with a knot in it around my dog's neck and hoisted my beloved fur baby off the floor to his inspection counter by the neck!!! My dog is very bruised on his throat and shoulders down to his ribs, still, a week later 10.26.24!!! This barbaric method could have killed my dog!!! He should have put the carrier on the counter and emptied my dog on the counter. He only weighs 15lbs. I might sue! Will most likely report, with pictures!!! Cruelty to animals is a felony! Go to Berry's.

Dr Lusk is awesome he really seems to care about Charlie and seems to know what needs to be done to better his health. My Charlie was rescued and adopted by us. We love our sweet little fur baby. Looking forward for Dr Lusk to treat him for the rest of his life. Thanks to you and your team. Most definitely recommend you guys.🐶🐾😃

My vet wasn’t open on Labor Day and wouldn’t answer emergency calls. They fit us right in to help us let our old dog who was suffering cross over. We are so very grateful for them and will continue to bring them our business. Thank you all so much! He was a good boy ❤️‍🩹

If I'm not mistaken it was back in April when I first came to Dr Lusk I had a rescue dog that needed surgery or she would die he took the utmost care of my precious dog and she's doing well thanks to Dr lusk, my little dog immediately took up with the young ladies at the office and she just loved Dr Lusk as soon as you seen him I've always said if your dog trust someone you can trust them, so if you're looking for a great doctor you've have found one right here, I used the same veterinarian for over 40 years in Oxford alabama, but I have now found a new doctor for my loving dogs and it will be Dr Lusk from now on thank you to the entire staff
