How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Sitka Veterinary Services

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

The most difficult decision when owning and loving a pet, lead us to Sitka and Dr Sarah and Celine. Our sweet boy, Levi, went to dog heaven in the comfort of his own bed, all the while being petted and talked to softly by Dr Sarah and Celine, with us by his side. With the utmost gratitude for their kindness and empathy, that excruciating day, was peaceful. Thank you 🙏 . Sincerely Bill and Denise Allan, Lake Cowichan.

We used Sitka for the very difficult experience of saying goodbye to our beloved yorkie. Dr. Sarah Begbie and her assistant Celine were quite literally angels on Earth. Dr. Begbie explained the entire procedure beforehand and guided us through the entire process. They met us with the perfect amount of compassion and care while also completing a difficult task seamlessly. Thank you from the bottom of mine and my family's hearts. You two made a beautiful experience out of an impossible day. I will never forget the kindness you showed us and Spike.

We've had Sitka come to our home twice in the last year or so, and both visits have been excellent. The staff have great knowledge, care and bedside manner, and are friendly and personable. They have the equipment to do what ever is needed in the comfort of your pet's own home, from basic check ups, to test work, to euthenization. My wife and I would highly recommend them to anyone in the valley, and we will certainly be loyal customers for as long as we live here.
