How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Central 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.

Friendly staff. Love that they always remember my pets names and seem genuinely happy to see us. Love Dr. Hedding. She is great at listening to my concerns and guiding me with my pets welfare. Steve our tech for today was wonderful with taking care of our fur baby!

I've been bringing my dog and cats here for years. My dog LOVES trips to the vet now, and the staff is always so excited to see him. They've helped us work through skin allergies, separation anxiety, dental extractions... I know we are in great hands for anything that comes up, and that's priceless.

If I knew then what I know now about this location, I wouldn't go there for anything. First, when I had my dog scheduled for a cardiologist appointment, when we arrived, they had one person at the front desk, no greeting, casually chatting with other customers and leaving us waiting for about half an hour (way passed the appointment time). When we were leaving, she was telling me that we would be charged for a fee because the cardiologist was already on their way. They did physical exam, blood test etc. for my dog but they don't carry the flea, tick and heartworm meds on site. And I've been getting conflicting information about how I can get the the medication. One person told me that I can take the prescription and go to Costco, Chewy or Walgreens to get it, and the other person said (after multiple phone calls) that they can send it to our house. It's very frustrating dealing with them. The people here are cold, unfriendly. I won't trust them for my pet care.
