How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Armstrong 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.

I'm so grateful for the exceptional care provided to my dog over the last few weeks. I needed to get her vaccinations and health check for visiting the kennel and the vet spent so much time answering my questions and being so thorough with every aspect of the exam. My dog is not great with other dogs, so they let me bring her in through the back door instead of through the reception. These thoughtful touches without any judgment mean the world to me and help me feel less stressed about visiting. Thank you for being so efficient and kind. It is a rare combination!

I adore the vets at this clinic, especially Dr. Stefan Schweiger, he has looked after my two cats consistently and always is very professional. Bev is also very very kind! she always asks about how my cats are doing when I come in and expresses she hopes they are doing well and I appreciate the compassion. I recommend this vet to anyone. Other reviews say this clinic's pricing is too expensive, but every time I've come in they have given me an accurate estimate of price and have offered multiple payment plans. I think it is very fair. (pictures of my two boys)

The dedicated staff at this practice are both amazing and wonderful. They have nursed my various animals not just very professionally but also like family. My beautiful dog Bodie struggled with cancer as puppy from the age of 3 but through their skills and dedication they manage to get him to almost 12 years old. His breeds healthy predicted life span is 10-12 which demonstrates the amount of dedication and effort this team gives to the animals in their care. My cats with the help of this team have also reached their 20s. And after helping my pet family reach a healthy, happy age their end of life care is incredibly caring and compassionate. I cannot praise this team enough for all they have done for our pets and us over these many years. Many thanks 🙏 .

Went their for the first time with my pup to get her spayed. Incredibly fair prices and they were amazing. They loved on her and made her feel comfortable the whole time. They were so detailed with after care info and every single person that I saw/talked to that worked there was so kind and happy. I dont live there but I will 100% be bringing both my dogs there from out of town for all their healthcare needs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
