How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Vetco
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.

My complain started post my visit. I asked for blood work up and urine analysis. I was informed i will receive the results by mail or phone. I only received a voice msg that my cat is fine. I called back to get his results in order to claim his insurance but noone picked up. I left 3 voice msgs, sent an email which failed to be delivered, and kept ringingany times during their office hours with no hope! I will not return back.

It was my first time taking a pet to Vetco and I had a wonderful experience there. The staff was friendly & knowledgeable, and treated my dog like an individual, not a number. I realized my dog was overdue on her rabies vaccination but it was impossible to get a same-day appointment anywhere. Most clinics wouldn't even answer their phone, or put me on hold for a long period of time. But I was able to easily make a same-day appointment online with Vetco and the first wellness exam was free! I will definitely use them again in the future. Thanks guys!

UPDATE: we just got home and he was left in the carrier long enough to where he peed himself and the vet told us nothing. Please do not bring your pets here. Original Post: If I could give this place zero stars I would. First, if you love your fur baby please do not bring them here. Our baby has extreme anxiety and they would not answer our calls when we checked to see if he was ready for pick up. We called over 20 times with no answer and decided to show up because they were closing soon. Not only was he ready for over an hour but they lied about tying to contact us and said we never called. I had a feeling they weren’t being honest so I called their phone in the lobby only to find out it was on silent. Very disappointing, we will not be coming back and our cat is now even more anxious than ever.

I drove forty minutes to this vetco because I had a great experience the first time. But the second time I came, it was closed on a Sunday even though I was able to book an appointment online. For someone who's extremely busy like me, it was a huge waste of time and my poor pets had to sit through two hours of traffic. My cat also has asthma and I was counting on this appointment to help him as the asthma has been getting terrible. This was one of the only times I could make time to bring him to a vet so I hope he will last another week. When I left, there was another woman who had brought her two pets who said she also got a text confirmation so we both found this odd. It's extremely rude and unprofessional, definitely won't be coming back here again.
