How to Save on Veterinary Costs at PAWS Veterinary Center

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.

This clinic is a little bit more expensive, but worth every penny. They give you different options to help fit your budget and help set up a plan when needed. They take large breeds (Irish Wolfhounds and Great Pyrenees) all the way down to old house cats. Each room has a basket of toys to help keep your animal comfortable and relaxed. From the receptionists to the doctors and assistants, you feel welcome, heard, and cared for. 10/10 would recommend (and I have countless times)!

From the appointment booking to the checking out process, PAWS was built for animals AND their owners in mind. Millie, our pup, struggles with anxiety but the staff at PAWS made sure to put her at ease. We saw Dr. Keaner as he came highly recommended and to no surprise he was great. He took his time with Millie and really cared about her past, present and future. I couldn’t recommend PAWS enough! P.s yes the sticker price can be a bit of a shock but having visited a ton of other vets before - nothing comes close to the treatment at PAWS. #millieapproved

I am incredibly happy with the dedication and work of the team at PAWS. My dog was incredibly I’ll and I brought him into this practice.. The team was thorough and honest with, and had a pragmatic approach to his suggested care schedule which resulted in a full recovery and recommendations on how to keep him healthy for the future. I worked with multiple teams together and my dog is doing better than before as a result. I would highly recommend for emergency and general services. The location is spacious and beautiful as well.

My dog actually loves coming here! Staff are very kind and knowledgeable. They’re also very understanding when it comes to cost and laying out all the options, not pushing unnecessary interventions. I was impressed with the check up phone calls. This is my go-to vet now.

I have had family pets in the past but recently just got my very own kitten since moving out on my own. Seeing as how this is all new to me and my sweet boy is a sphynx I knew I would have to find a vet that could answer all of my questions, not only about being a first time pet owner but also all the tricky things that come along with owning a rare breed of cat. Dr. Aronson truly went above and beyond my expectations and left me feeling like I had all the right tools to be able to take the best care of my fur-less baby! I would first off like to start with saying the office is very peaceful and clean and the staff are all so sweet and accommodating. Once I was in the exam room my vet technician Shelby was such a sweetheart and let me know I could ask all the questions I wanted and to not feel bad, like I was asking too many. Once Dr. Aronson came in he immediately started giving me all the answers I had been wondering about for so long.. answers other vets could not give me! I instantly had a feeling of relief that my kitty would be in the best hands of someone who knows his breed and knows about the risks associated with them. Not only did he give me useful info but he also went through the ingredients of his food with me and all the ingredients of the hygiene items that I use on his very sensitive skin. I was spit firing questions and it was such a relief to have a doctor who could answer them with such a holistic and healthy approach. During my visit we also ran some blood tests and the office not only called me in a timely manner but they also made sure to email them to me for my records and I didn’t have to pester them! They are great on their own about doing their job and making you a priority. I can honestly say I am so happy with this choice to come to PAWS and I will be a lifelong customer. I highly recommend that anyone else who is looking for top notch care for their furry (or not so furry in my case LOL) family member comes to this vet! You will not be disappointed!
