How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Buellton 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
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.

I wanted to express my thoughts for an unbelievable worker who went above and beyond my expectations! I approached a “Jami” who works here with concerns for a private pet related issue on Rover, and was met with incredible kindness, patience, understanding, and unconditional love for my dog Swan, who will be going through her first heat soon - and I wanted to know more about it so I asked Jami, my Rover Pet sitter, some questions. She answered everything very endearingly, was incredibly knowledgeable, didn’t make me feel like I was wasting her time or that I was stupid, was very open and direct with what I should be expecting in the following months, and gave me pointers and said she would be here to help me with whatever I need when my dog starts her first heat. I could not be more thankful to someone who has been so insightful, loving, and trustworthy with my beloved fuzzy best friend, and just wanted to pass the word along to her manager that I am SO impressed with her staff!! Thank you so much Jami, and thank you Rosemary who answered my call and offered to take and leave a message for the manager! I couldn’t be more thankful, what a wonderful clinic! Thank you!

All of the staff at Buellton Veterinary Clinic are the BEST! I've been taking my cats to them for care for close to 20 years, & they've guided me through some heart wrenching times. LOVE them & you will too!

My dog, Gema, saw Dr. Gross for the first time yesterday. This is a top notch veterinary practice. Rosemary and the other folks at the front desk are "on it" quick, kind, and just really nice. Similarly, the team in the exam room --- sorry folks I didn't get names. They were so kind to my dog --- I was able to watch the care and help calm my dog. Also, the entire team were super patient, pros, and kind. Dr. Gross is what my mom calls "a sharp cookie" meaning smart and also a thinker. Just what you want in a vet --- well that and kind and great with animals. Just excellent.

As ALWAYS, Ziggy and Marley had a positive puppy visit today for immunizations. Perhaps knowing that a cool Starbucks "Puppuccino" that comes AFTERWARDS...ya think? And thank you ALL at Buellton Vets for caring so much about our babies!

Dr. Ley is the nicest veterinarian! She is so kind and thorough.. answered all of my millions of questions [I had a page of questions to talk to her about] and she even followed up by sending me an email to help me navigate the online website to order medications. You can tell she loves animals and her profession. My older white bulldog had a little red spot on her abdomen that frightened me for skin cancer and I was so relieved after she examined my dog, she put all my fears at ease. Definitely worth the drive from Santa Maria to see Dr Ley! We cannot express just how much we love her!
