How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Fairfield Animal Hospital

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.

My Cat Milo had a wound on his neck. Milo was treated with great care and professional expertise. I highly recommend Fairfield Animal Hospital for treatment and diagnose of your loved ones/fur babies ailments. Definitely a 5 Star hospital/treatment. Put my mind at ease knowing he was well taken care of. Driving the 1 1/2 from Enderby to Kelowna was the furthest from my mind, no amount dollar figure can be put on your fur babies health.

I visited Fairfield every 2 or 3 weeks over the past 7 months with my dog, Jackson, who was diagnosed with lymphoma. I can't say enough positive things about the care and compassion that we received on every visit from every team member. They treated Jackson like one of the family. A special thank you to Dr. Hans for the extra time he spent researching Jackson's specific cancer and alternative therapies. I highly recommend the team at Fairfield - they had a positive impact on what was otherwise a very challenging time.

What can I say about Fairfield animal Hospital? They saved my Little dog Nico. I think we’re lucky to have a 24 hour vet clinic. I drove an hour and 20 minutes to bring my pet here after a vicious coyote attack. I could not have asked for anything more. The staff was compassionate, polite, and very professional. Highly competent. I read a lot of reviews that say they’re just about the money but that is not my experience. Do they charge? Of course they do. But what I got back was far more than what I paid. Words cannot express how grateful I am to this team. I would give 6 stars if possible. Update. Mr Tesla has been home for a while and making a great recovery. Thank you again to the team at Fairfield.

We were on vacation in Kelowna and were blessed to receive the level of care we were given at this place. The vet (south Asian woman, I wish I knew her name) was absolutely wonderful and handled our case with compassion and without trying to charge us for needless diagnostics. We ended up saying goodbye to our 15 1/2 dog here and I am very grateful for how the vet and team cared for our pup and selves. Thank you.

This place is awesome and has awesome staff. We needed after hours emergency care twice within a couple of weeks and are so lucky to have had access to this 24/7/365 animal clinic, many places do not. Both vets we saw, Laurel and Katrina, were compassionate and gave solid advice ... I'd definitely recommend this clinic and were so thankful they were there when we needed them. Thanks again to the vets and staff, you are appreciated.
