How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Sweet Home 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.

Dr. Swope and the staff at Sweet Home Veterinary Hospital are the absolute BEST! I have been taking my cats to them for a few years now and have been so happy with their care and compassion for them, and for me. Yesterday, I took in 2 Senior cats that I recently adopted (foster fail!) that are considered semi-feral. Dr. Swope was amazing and handled them beautifully, even clipping the nails of one of them herself so she wouldn't have to be put back in the carrier, taken to the back, and taken out again by the vet techs. I am so grateful to Dr. Swope and the staff. They are reasonably priced compared to every other vet I have been to in the last 30 years, and a few times, were able to fit me in quickly when I was worried about the health of one of by cats. Oh, and one time I found a dog on my street and they were able to trace the chip to a neighbor, helping to reunite the pet with her family! I can't recommend Dr. Swope and Sweet Home enough!

We’ve had our family pets go here for years! The vets are so kind, transparent, and have saved our family so much money in comparison to bigger vet hospitals. When we had to put our first family dog down, they were so caring and empathetic with us, it truly made such a difference.

We are happy to move our entire pet family to Sweet Home. We are next door in Burbank and feel like we found a place that is kind to our pets, sometimes we feel that pet care can be a luxury and we have found a way to communicate well about our pet needs and be generally friendly to our wallet.

We brought our dog in at the last minute this morning to remove a foxtail from an ear. This is our 1st time with Sweet Home as we are now in a new area after our home was destroyed in the Eaton Fire. Dr Swope and all of her staff were incredible in their care and their kindness to us. Her thoughtfulness in her treatment left our dog comfortable in what has historically been a stressful time when he has to see the vet. I HIGHLY recommend Sweet Home
