How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Sactown Vet
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
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

I always get a little anxious and nervous with doctors and vets. My little Cooper had his first appointment today for an introduction and vaccines. Everyone in the office was so friendly, comforting, and knowledgeable. They seemed to fall in love with Cooper who also enjoyed all of the attention he got - he was treated like a celebrity! What a great experience. This is definitely my new vet clinic for all three of my cats needs going forward. Thanks again Dr. Thornton and staff for making us both feel so welcome and comfortable. I’ve already referred Cooper’s sister’s owner to you guys as well! You’ll be seeing her soon I’m sure :-) Thanks again!

I had to take my old, loyal border collie rescue, Matilda to Sactown Vet to be put down. Animal lovers know the days you have put down your pets are the worst days of your life. Dr. Alexandra Thornton is the most compassionate, thorough and thoughtful vet I've ever been to. Her commitment to keeping all pets comfortable and stress-free made my worst day just a little less worse. When you take your pets here, you can be sure Dr. Thornton is more concerned about their health and happiness than the business' profits. All of my pets will now be coming to Sactown vet for their health care.

I wanted to say a huge thank you to Dr. Thornton and all of the staff for taking such good care of my puppy Archie. We came in yesterday because of ongoing tummy troubles that really flared up this week and everyone was very kind, thorough, and took the time to understand his history and my concerns while walking through our possible treatment options. We came back today to drop off some tests and I expressed that I was worried because he had a rough tummy night. They were able to have a look at him quickly and prescribe him some things to help us through the weekend, with a plan to check-in in a few days. I think many pet owners can relate that sometimes it is frustrating when we get told to wait it out or try the same things over and over, so I was surprised and incredibly grateful for the entire team trying their best to help us even though it was last minute. I can tell they really cared for Archie as much as I do, and that means a lot to me. Special thank you to Kendall and Ro for giving him lots of snuggles and comfort through his procedures. Thank you all so much. Hopefully you guys can see Archie in his full happy puppy energy soon!

Dr. Thornton and staff are most kind, they truly care about their patients and it shows. My senior kitty gets stressed out at the vet, so I appreciate the extra care and attention to detail to keep her as calm and comfortable as possible. They quickly diagnosed her issue and performed dental surgery. The staff was so helpful in her aftercare and in keeping me informed. I truly appreciate their kindness, highly recommend!

Excellent new vet in the Midtown/ Poverty Ridge area. Super responsive reception and vet tech team! So helpful and understanding, and so good with my cat. Dr. Thornton was fantastic with my boy, due for vaccinations and scheduling his neuter. They had a room specific to cats, and it had so many cat comforts in it - treats, Feliway, warm blankets, etc. Plus they had coffee for me! Just overall an excellent experience. Definitely will recommend to others.
