How to Save on Veterinary Costs at American Animal Care Center

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

Staff is "nice" but painfully busy, understaffed and clearly over worked. Waited more than 3 hours total. Had a scheduled appt too...was not an "emergency"/drop-in visit and appt started at 4pm. Could not believe how slow their processes and communications were during my visit. Never did a staff member act like they were concerned about how long this was taking. Upon departing with my dog, they did not review what had been done, how my dog was doing, how he might be feeling, nor discuss the side effects of the medicine being sent home. Again staff was "nice" but clearly over worked and unable to handle the flow of customers. I am wholly convinced Dr. Salwan is the only vet onsite. Everyone else are technicians assisting and only 1 admin at the front desk that was running around like crazy. This was my first and last time there. I will not return.

It was our first time in here and we love the staff they all seem nice and the ones that helped us out were really nice! Thank you for our first time experience, when I get treated like this makes me want to recommend all my friends to a business or place! thank you for the first great impression of your animal care clinic.

I've only been here once, on a Emergency basis, but the care and service were outstanding. Our pet had gotten into some cleaners and degreasers in our garage and within hours was very sick and not moving. We rushed him to the hospital and they IMMEDIATELY took us in and gave our dog the treatment he needed. We picked him up 2 days later and he was great, back to his old self. We seriously thought we were going to lose him. Thank you Dr. Tama, THANK YOU for everything including you follow up calls to see how our dog was.

I have never had any trust in any animal care center until we came in with American Animal Care Center in an emergency. They gave us the greatest care ever and were also friendly with us. They seemed to really care for my dog Mercy and it makes me happy that after the office visit she felt better! Thank you.

I really like this place! They treat you like gold and genuinely care about your pet. I've seen Dr. Salwan multiple times with our new puppy over the last 5 moths and he is great. Everything here is modern and up to date. It's actually nicer than most hospitals for people.
