How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Ospika 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

Jennifer showed amazing compassion and service. Likewise for the staff and vet. As a traveler, I needed to put my beloved 12 year old canine companion down. And they squeezed me right in. Jennifer also connected me to Jim at PG Pet Memorial crematory allowing me to take my girl's ashes onward with me the very next day. I could not have asked for more from all involved. Thank you thank you!

Dr McLauchlan is amazing. My squirmy little dog had an eye emergency that she dealt with and diagnosed quickly. The medication has been effective. Thank you.

Ospika Animal hospital has always been there for our boys (two german shephards and a lab mix). They are made to feel as comfortable as possible and are greeted well with many treats. The staff and vets are professional, personal and reliable each time and are quick with any appointments/procedures. We greatly appreciate the service they provide and are glad to have such a wonderful place to take our pups to. Thank you! 😊

The swift actions of the team of Doctors that came in at 10:30pm on a Wednesday night saved Lukas’s life. He had a twisted stomach (GDV) and after a 4.5 hour surgery he pulled through. The staff that took care of his recovery in the following 48 hours couldn’t have been nicer and supportive with Luke. He has since been recovering at home and is as good as new. Thanks so much to he great team at Ospika Animal Hospital and

Nikita and Ally had a great check up and were well behaved for their shots at the Ospika vet. Everyone treated them with care and our appointment went very well. Thank you for a very good experience.
