How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Tri-County 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.

Consider pet insurance

Brandon, Heather, and Dr. Mario are Rockstars! 👍👏 Our pot-bellied pig, Harley,🐖 got a foxtail in her eye. Late Friday afternoon, Brandon helped us communicate with Dr. Mario, who wanted to see her. On Saturday, Heather got us checked in. Soon after, a very sedated Harley,🐖 minus the foxtail and her relieved 'parents' were on our way home.🙏🏻 BTW - We hadn't been to TVVH in over a year. Their quick response to our emergency was very much appreciated.👏👏👏

Not once, but twice Tri County has treated my horse in house in their equine hospital after pretty extensive injuries. Accidents are never planned. They've been very understanding & patient as I have had to make lump sum payments on my bills. ((In a timely manner of course)) where other equine hospitals were demanding huge sums up front before even assessing the injuries. I appreciate a working relationship with my vets. I started as a kid (a long time ago) following training clinics, vets, trainers, and hanging around the racetracks. I learned a lot from a lot of world renowned folks. Folks with deep pockets. But me, I pay my bills check to check like most everyone else. I appreciate being able to talk to the vet & staff & get the same respect my boss ((a multi millionaire dollar horse breeder)) gets. Thank you Pics are my horse at TRI-COUNTY

my dog was hit by a car , so I rushed my dog to be seen by a veterinarian . in hopes to hear something , anything ....but instead they rejected my dog , they showed no concern , knowing my dog was suffering in my arms as I was so desperate just to hear the odds of my dog surviving or not , even a percentage would have showed some kind of compassion towards their servives of our loved ones . I believe a good veterinarian would have reacted to my dog with more concern. they didn't even bother to look at him so much , as a matter of fact the lady assisting at the front desk showed more compassion and concern for my dog . she seemed more eager to get me the help my dog needed .... knowing there are qualified employes there that could have offered to look at my dog , even so much as a rough percentage as to what was the odds of my dog surviving and giving me some kind of reassurance so I would know what to expect . instead we were rejected , a veterinarian is knowledgeable enough to have been so gracious to give me there educated opinion to help me figure out the next option for my dog . ANY NEWS IS GOOD NEWS .... especially when it comes to our loved ones. not to mention how calm and understanding i remained even though in that moment I felt helpless and was given no mercy for my suffering dog . and I do consider the fact that for most people time is money .... but in circumstances like these and there occupation is to save lives I expected better services coming from a place where we are supposed to bring our pets for help , knowing that they can not speak for themselves to better help us , help them.... that's what being a veterinarian is about .... having the knowledge and ability to speak on the behaves of our loved ones so we know how to better care for them . I respected there decision to nonchalantly reject my dog. and that is why I am writing this .... I was disappointed with my experience at TRI-COUNTY VETERINARY HOSPITAL

Took my friend's goat over and he had to spend the night. Thought he had bloat... He's ok now!

The people here are very polite and personable, and the prices are very reasonable. They have always done good by me and my goats. 🐐 I'm glad I found them.
