How to Save on Veterinary Costs at UrgentVet
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.

Our little boy Teddy cut his paw pretty badly while he was playing. We called our vet and they couldn’t see us for 4 days. We called around a an everyone recommended we come to Urgent Vet Cave Creek. I’m so happy we did. From the moment we walked in everyone was so friendly and attentive. They are so thoughtful and kind. This is the first time I’ve been to a vet and they had snacks and phone chargers and made sure to communicate and present pricing up front. I couldn’t recommend this place more. It’s just the best!!!!

Absolutely amazing. The staff was extremely friendly, took us in very quickly, provided a care plan that allowed us to pick and choose what we wanted, and was actually more affordable than our primary vet. They provided snacks and refreshments and helped ease our worries. Labs are done in house and they provided us with all the medications we needed! Thank you so much!

I went to the Cave Creek location and had the best experience. It was a Sunday afternoon and my dog became unable to move. I called and they got me in immediately and cared so well for my pup. Superb service with very knowledgeable, caring staff. They took their time in explaining and gave me options. All this emergency care for about the same price as a regular vet visit. Plus my dog was going to be okay! 🤗 If you need urgent care for your fur babies, go here!

The team at UrgentVet in Cave Creek took care of Bruno’s eye injury. They gave him individual one on one care and kept me updated on his plan the entire time I was there. It’s great to have a special urgent care for our fur babies after normal vets are closed. Thank you for your kindness and knowledgeable treatment. I will be sure to recommend to all my friends.

We needed to put our beloved dog to sleep. We could not wait for our regular vet's office to open the next day. We made an online appointment. Which was so easy to do. When we arrived we were shown to an end of life room. There was a blanket for our dog. A chair and couch. It was not a typical exam room where you'd need to sit on the floor. Such care was shown to us and our dog. It made a truly devastating situation much more comfortable. The staff and doctor were truly wonderful and caring people.
