How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Dewdney 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.

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 were the best specially when my dog was passing away I called first thing in the morning. She was supposed to be at 3 o’clock. She hit really bad at night. I go first thing at 8 o’clock. They took me in at 8:30 in the morning and they were so warm and comfortable and I would highly recommend I recommend you guys take your loved ones there they treat them like one of their families. It’s it’s amazing and the love and care that they get there. It’s it’s beautiful. rest in peace Sheba we love you.

I have my 2 cats and new puppy here. Everybody is friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. I went with my puppy with diarhea, and the Dr knew what parasite he had even before taking the stool sample. When it came back, it was what he thought. I am as well very thorough and put 110 percent at what I do, so I can appreciate people that do a good job. So a big thumbs up from me and Daisy, Lucky and Dexter.

I only dealt with this veterinarian once when somebody wanted to euthanize their dog and they called my rescue to help. That being said I have been a victim of the owner who is constantly on Facebook trolling dog posts, acting like a trainer, spreading misinformation and celebrating attacking rescues. After I spoke up about him, a number of people came forward to speak of their negative experiences with his ego, attitude and lack of interpersonal skills. There are a number of great vets in the lower mainland, this is not one of them. I will also post back when he attacks my rescue, which he's never dealt with other than me saving the life of a dog that he called for my help, after he reads this review. Just ask yourself if that's the type of vet you want for your animal.

Saw them with our Dalmatian prudy for most of purdys life and even said goodbye to her there. thet have done alot for all of our past and hopefully future pets. We still take our cats there (for once a yr appointments) and plan to stay. We like that they tell us everything and always for the best of our furry family member.

Dewdney Animal Hospital has provided nothing but exceptional care, understanding, and advice for our two cats Tucker & Zoe and for our dog Duke (the March 18th 2022 cute pet of the day) through his cancer diagnosis and treatment plans. Dr. Walton also provided the best care possible for my mother's cat Hugo after cancer was found. I would have no hesitation recommending Dr. Walton and his staff for the care of beloved family pets.
