How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Sahuaro Vista Veterinary 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
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.

They are the BEST. Dr. Carlton (and his staff including the other doctors and front office personnel) is the most honest, caring, and, above all, straight forward vet I have ever experienced with all the other dogs I have had. I have only been seeing Dr. Carlton for my current dog inasmuch as I moved to Tucson about three years ago and needed a vet for the only dog I have had since my move. I rescued my sweet girl about five years ago and she came to me with many medical issues, one of which is that she had very few teeth due to lack of care by her former owner. Dr. Carlton has been following her dental issues since the day I first met him and he has held off teeth removal since he knew my financial situation. During my last visit with him, he advised that the time had come when he deemed it mandatory that she have the rest of her teeth (all of which were loose and not attached to the root any longer) removed or we were facing serious periodontal infections that could affect her life on earth. Yesterday he performed her dental surgery and determined that all of her remaining teeth did, in fact, need to be removed, which he did. She came through the surgery with her sweet personality fully intact. She had acted like her old self and you wouldn’t know she had just had this surgery. She is eating normally and if she is in any pain, she doesn’t show signs of it at all. In fact, she seems to be happier since the surgery. I can’t thank Dr. Carlton (and Dr. Temkin) enough for his professionalism and his care not only to my my fur baby but also to his sensitivity to me. Thank you Dr. Carlton for being the best there is. (I am going to try to post a picture taken four hours after her surgery. I hope I am able to do it.)

A good home town veterinary center. Nice staff and great caring doctors. Also when my female dog was spayed, the incision was small and with Dr Carlton’s precision stitching the wound healed fast and my dog did not feel the need to dig at it. My brother takes his dogs here and that is how I received my first recommendation.

My cat was brought to the room immediately as the med tech weighed him. The male vet tech was pleasant as usual. Shortly after Dr. Carlton came in and did my cat Merlin's examination and gave him his necessary vaccines. I truly appreciate this Veterinary Clinic compared to the other choices I tried in the Tucson area previously. Thank you Sahuaro Vista Veterinary Clinic!

I am new to the area and had to find a new vet for my 10 yo hound dog. Everyone was incredibly friendly and attentive! I loved the staff and Dr. B was so smart, concise and clear. I loved her approach and am thankful to have found her and this clinic for my dog 🤗

We were seen right away for our appointment. Our new puppy was treated with kindness and patience, the staff was professional and caring and explained everything thoroughly. Dr. Bagdonas and Dr. Carlton were great. We will continue seeing them.
