How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Animal Medical 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.

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

We brought our cat here for an eye infection. They treated him very well. He is normally very skittish but the staff made him feel at ease. They were also very well priced compared to other animal hospitals in the area. My only complaint is that when we first arrived they were very well staffed. However, after a few minutes one girl from the front desk left and that left just one girl handling too many responsibilities. I do understand that businesses do this to cut operational costs due to inflation. So overall Job well done in my view.

Warning: Do not take your pet here! We just moved here and our dog needed her ears treated/cleaned. We were very surprised when we called for an appointment and they had numerous time slots available that very day. Any good vet that we have ever gone to you had to wait at least a day or longer for an appointment. We figured they must have lots of vets on staff. Turned out that they were pretty much telling anyone who called to come on over. It was over an hour before they took us to an exam room. By that time the waiting room was very crowded. The "one" vet there came in almost 30 minutes later. No apology for the long delay. Didn't even introduce herself. (still don't know what her name is. Without even suggesting that we have blood work to rule out an infection she told us the problem was due to an allergy and said our dog needed her ears cleaned and an allergy shot. She left the room saying that she was going to go in the back to write up a treatment estimate and would be right back. We waited 30 minutes and then my mom went out to the front counter to ask why it was taking so long, at which time they yelled at her that they were very busy and they would get to us as soon as possible. Ten minutes later a gal came into the room with an eight hundred dollar estimate. She responded to our shock explaining that they had to sedate our gentle lab and that she would have to stay over night. She wasn't the least bit surprised when we quickly informed her that we were leaving. No doubt they encounter lots of people who walk out the door right after discovering/realizing that they are greedy and are primarily in it for the money. Whoever reads this I hope you find a vet that will give your beloved pet the loving care they deserve.

I called this animal hospital on Labor Day in hopes they could get my very sick kitten in. They did!! Not only were they compassionate (I was a wreck) but they were also transparent, which I appreciated. I was or am unsure if the little guy will pull through. He’s spending a couple of days with them to run some testing and hopefully get well. Thank you to the Dr. and the staff who assisted us.

drove an hour and a half to my scheduled appointment, sat in the waiting room for 45minutes, just to be asked to reschedule. I don’t see the point of making appointment times just to cancel them. the woman was very apologetic which I appreciate but apologies don’t help my sick animal.

They need to hire a new receptionists she is so rude. Has no people skills. Hopefully is only due to pregnancy, but I don't even know how she has a job. My friend and I went to get a husky cremated, omg a Kiosk would of been better. She is the same way over the phone.
