How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Parkview Animal Wellness

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.

I took my two mini schnauzers to be spayed. I was really nervous. The staff put me at ease. Carol is amazing! Very knowledgeable. My girls did just fine. They even called to check on them the following day. Thank you Dr Shelton, Carol and the whole staff! Picture is on their way home after they had their surgery.

6 months ago I thought I would have to put down my GSD Hank until I found Parkview Animal Wellness. Through their care Hank is going so much better. Although he still has problems he is so much happier.

We brought our 6 week old chihuahua puppies here in July of 2024. We were so impressed and appreciated the amount of time they spent with us and our fur babies. Since then they were spayed and chipped here as well. Top notch service from everyone. It’s easy to tell how much everyone there loves their job.

There isn't nearly enough stars to rate Dr. Shelton and her entire staff! We'd give her 100 stars if we could. Everyone is so loving to all four of our babies and Dr Shelton will sit and talk with you in depth about their health and answers any and all questions we toss at her!! All of the staffs compassion for animals shines!! Dr Sheltons knowledge continues to impress us and we would trust our pets care to no one else than Dr Shelton and her staff. We love you all Dr Shelton, and your entire staff!! Duane. Dorothy Maxwell Indiana Jones Chewbacca and of course, our monster Crosby!! (May his hair forever be attached to something on that office somewhere!!)
