How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Rain & Rainbows 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.

The staff are amazing and I could leave examples all day long. The primary example was when our dog, Chuck Norris, went into medical distress and euthanasia was unavoidable. The morning of his appointment, despite having a brutal night, he was having a seemingly good morning acting like his sassy self which was breaking us even more. The staff were so gentle and kind with us and Chuck, and Dr. Carole said "it is okay to let him go on a good day" and this eased our broken hearts somewhat. The staff put pretty candle-type lamps with a soft glow on the counter, and the lights were low to advise others a euth was happening. They also made him a soft and plush bed, took their time loving him up, and then began sedating him. Being a wolf dog he fought the sedation harder than expected (none of us were ready including Chuckles) and required a top up. I was able to lay on the floor with him and with his head in my hand we watched the light go out of his beautiful sassy brown/gold eyes as he galloped toward the Rainbow Bridge, likely peeing on everything in sight. This is NOT an isolated experience at RRVC and words will never convey our appreciation and gratitude for the care our beloved pets receive.

I called several times to obtain an appointment for my cat and I am leaving several messages and e-mails no one is calling me back. Not possible to book without a form, so had to go get the form printed at Staples 30 minutes from where I live just to be ignored. I rarely had such low quality service. If you can go elsewhere don’t waste your time
