How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Bixby Animal Clinic

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.

We took our Siberian husky mix for some concerning eye discharge and redness, the staff at bixby animal clinic treated us great and made us feel safe and comfortable giving the fact that our husky cries and yells, no ugly faces from the staff was nice! Besides that, the Dr gave us some medications to treat his eye and some other stuff that was going on. Within 1 day he is doing so much better and the eye discharge is practically gone with the drops they gave him. They also called me this morning for a follow up from the visit he just had yesterday, love this place and their amazing service.

I love Bixby Animal Clinic and so do all my dogs. My nervous Boxer Luna is treated with gentle patience and I have confidence that the vets and staff truly care for our fur babies! They don't price gouge (vet care can be expensive) and understand the needs of pets owners. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else!
