How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Cedar Veterinary 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.

I can count the amount of times I went to Cedar on my fingers, but my experiences have gone quite well. The vets are knowledgeable and they allow you to choose treatment as you see fit. If you see something you disagree on it’s easy to remove it from your plan and whatnot. However, experience also somewhat depends on which vet sees your pet, some explain things thoroughly, others don’t. I do want to add that at times the receptionists can be a bit unwelcoming. And yes, the wait time for a walk-in is ridiculously long. Wait time for appointments, however, are not; you’re in and you’re out. I would say it is on the pricier side, but it isn’t absurd. The place is kept as clean as it can be with so many coming and going. Overall it’s a good experience, but I would recommend making an appointment.

My husband is a mailman and would come across the sweetest stray dog. One day he noticed that she did not come to greet him. He later found her 3 blocks from where she normally is and discovered that she was attacked by a larger dog. He called me and I rushed her to Cedar Veterinary. The staff was incredibly sweet and helpful. The doctor was incredible and provided her with the most quality of care! Her name is now Zelda and she is getting healthy! She was rescued right in time for Thanksgiving! Thank you to all the wonderful staff who helped!!!

I took my dog in the morning to get her leg amputated and the estimate was roughly 3,600 and they had told me they would call me before and after her surgery but they called me until after the procedure which was not a huge deal. When they called they said my bill was roughly at 3,100 I asked what made it go down and the receptionist said that my dog had to stay over night for observation and her medications would be administered next morning which would make the bill go up to the initial estimate (3,600). I asked if I could just bring her home and give her the medicine myself because 3,000 on a vet bill is already a high amount. They recommended she stay overnight but I simply could not afford it. When I arrived to pick my baby up the staff was verbally aggressive trying to convince me to leave my dog there over night. I explained to her that they were already overpriced and I couldn’t afford it I was trying to save myself about $500. She continued to ask if my leg was amputated if I would want top care! Keep in mind she didn’t take us into a room we were at the waiting room where everyone was just staring at us. The whole experience was traumatic and their staff made it no better. They just seemed money hungry because at no point did she show sympathy. My pup is 10 days post operation and Cedar Veterinary Hospital has not called to follow up! I have already contacted another veterinary office to get a check up and get her stitches removed.

I went in for a follow up which I had made an appointment when I last visited. My appointment was at 5pm and they had me wait in the lobby till 530pm. I went up to the receptionist and I told her that I had a 5pm appointment and it's just a follow up. She replied, "you only been here for 10 minutes. I said, "what's the Point of making an appointment". The receptionist had an attitude and was unprofessional and rude. I drove from Lemoore and I had to leave without my dog being seen by the vet. A waste of $500 for a simple procedur and the only reason I went there was they were the only vet that where open late. I'll never go there again!

They've always been kind. I've always had a great experience. Sadly my last visit I lost my pet I've had for many years. They were all nice to us and attentive with our pain. I miss my furr baby so much but they have always managed to get my pets health to have them healthy for many years.
