How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Park Centre 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

Im a long time customer of Park Center animal Hospital. I love the staff and the doctors and i appreciate that i never feel pressured to do all the extras that some vets push. I have also found they are extremely kind when it comes time for a pet to cross the rainbow bridge

I needed a second opinion on my dog’s health. I asked for an appointment with Mary Applegate, who has been our vet with two other dogs I had. I got an appointment for the next day, isn’t it great, isn’t it a relief? The staff is very well trained and caring and Dr. Applegate was special, giving our dog a thorough evaluation, knowledgeable of the subject and very responsive to my dog needs. He is a very reactive dog that had a rough life before we adopted him. Thank you to Park Centre Animal Hospital!

I was relatively new to the area 2 years ago and looking for a vet to take my pup to when it came time for an overdue annual visit. He's had very great great care from his longtime vet in Utah and couldn't bring myself to commit to a vet in the area because of all the mixed reviews. I found Park Centre and took a leap of faith. I'm so glad I did! Super easy to book my first visit after a quick call, and they were very efficient in giving me all the necessary details/steps to gather my dogs' previous health records. The staff is extremely friendly and are very kind with the pets that come through their doors. The love and care my dog, Monet, receives here is fantastic. He is always excited to enter, especially when a treat or two is offered at the desk. And of course, he just loves the attention! Also, it's incredibly easy to schedule appointments, refills, and more through a quick call, their website, or the app (petdesk). Love this place and always recommend it to friends. Here is happy and healthy, Mo!

We have entrusted our two dogs and six cats to the caring and highly professional team at PCAH for nearly 15 years. Through good and bad times with our "extended" family members, we could rely on the team to help us help them. Team members have always been friendly, attentive, and engaging in ways that have led to the best care possible. How wonderful!
