How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Sierra 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.
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

Dr Sexton and staff always go the extra mile to educate you on your animals health and nutrition needs. This is Mia and Tank playing at North Lake. Tank has osteosarcoma of the skull, 12 years old. Mia is 8 months. She's really extended the life, and will to live in Tank. Dr Sexton spends as much time as I need with Tank. Pure kindness!

My very large 3 year old German Shepherd Colt absolutely loves this vet and her helpers. We had tried the other vets and he tried to bite them. He has arthritis and wouldn't let them near him but he let her rub all over him and even let her assistant cut his nails. I don't know what we're going to do when she retires. I would give her 100 stars if I could.

Dr. Sexton over vaccinated my dog without consent. I specified that I only wanted parvo and distemper vaccines. They said yes. Then, AFTER vaccinating my dog they gave me paper work for a 5 in 1 vaccine including LEPTO! The lepto vaccine has the least effectiveness with the most and worst side effects of any vaccine. I confronted the doctor on it and she just shrugged and said "It's been done, it can't be undone." Great, so now I just have to wait for my dog to get cancer!

Had my little boy, Henry, neutered there. Great people! They were so kind and helpful. I would recommend this veterinarian to all of my friends and family. I should've done this sooner, as I had him neutered quite a while ago. I'm taking my other dog to see them, and fame across the reviews, thought I should leave one since I was so pleased with them.

A truly wonderful and empathetic vet! We were staying in Bishop in our RV and one of our GSDs had a very badly swollen foot. Sierra Veterinary Clinic was the ONLY vet that would let us make an appointment. Better still, they called us in much sooner because of a cancellation. The examination was very thorough. The vet carefully checked for breaks and tears, finally diagnosing an infection, likely from an insect bite. Antibiotics were prescribed. We could see an improvement in our girl after 24 hours. Now four days later, the swelling is gone and she's pretty much back to normal. Our highest recommendation!
