How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Turquoise Animal 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
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’ve been a client of Turquoise Animal Hospital for many years and have had the absolute pleasure of Dr. Reed treating our rescue pups. She has always taken such incredible care of them and I trust her completely. A few years ago my husband got really good pet insurance, but it was tied to a specific veterinary clinic, and we were honestly heartbroken because we loved Turquoise so much. Even with that change, for anything serious I still take one of our pups, Foxy, to Dr. Reed because that is how much I value her expertise and care. Recently something scary happened and Foxy could barely walk, along with a few other concerning symptoms. Our insurance vet was closed, and Turquoise was able to get us in quickly. Dr. Reed was not available that day so I was a little nervous, but we were scheduled with Dr. G. I should not have been surprised, but the experience was amazing. He was kind, thorough, and I could truly feel how much he cared about my pup. He took the time to explain everything in detail and made sure I understood all of our options. Hands down, this clinic is the best. From the front desk to the doctors, you can feel the compassion and integrity. If you have trust issues when it comes to veterinary care, I completely understand, and I would absolutely recommend giving Turquoise Animal Hospital a try. They genuinely care, and that peace of mind is priceless. I will continue to give them my business because the love and care they show my pups means everything to me.

I have been with Turquoise Animal Hospital for many years and many dogs. They have always received top notch care and thorough exams. Dr. G is so patient and answers all my questions and options available. He is aware of the personality of each dog and has especially worked patiently with a very anxious dog. The front desk has been consistently helpful and organized. I am so grateful for the family feeling and excellent care.

The vet told me, ‘I already spent 7 minutes — actually now 8 minutes — on the phone with you, and my time is valuable.’ He made the same remark during our visit the day before, and repeated it again on the phone. I ask questions because I believe a veterinarian has a duty of care to provide pet parents with clear medical advice. After that, it became clear this clinic cared more about billing for shots, medications, and visits than about helping my dog. Over two months, three visits, and over $900, my dog’s itchy paw is still unresolved. The vet kept changing his diagnosis and pushed a foxtail surgery, which found nothing. At no point did they offer any options that resembled real pathways toward healing. My dog is now spending two weeks in a cone, on heavy medication, recovering from an unnecessary procedure. All because he was licking his paw. It feels like they created a bigger problem just to charge us more. At one visit, the vet brought my dog to me in visible pain after he made him bleed with a long sharp tool just to “show” he wouldn’t stay still. When I asked for documentation of everything they had done, he refused, saying they don’t have time for that. I left every appointment with more questions than answers and a deep sense he simply didn’t care. From my interactions, I felt that the dr was insensitive, and insincere. Two stars instead of one because Michael and Danae are professional, calm and talk to pet parents with the respect we deserve when we show concern for our fur babies.

Great staff and great care! They are largely responsible for saving my dog's life (he had parvovirus, an extremely serious condition) - and since then have been fantastic with follow up care and personalized treatments. Danae and Michael and the rest of the front desk staff are always extremely helpful and communicative, and Dr. Reed is a real pro! Would recommend this hospital to anyone reading.

Our furbaby loves all the friendly and helpful staff and doctors at Turquoise Animal Hospital so much that he quickly forgets he’s at the vet. We’ve also used their boarding services for one weekend due to our usual place not accepting dogs with a cone and they were able to accommodate him last minute. I got updated while we were away when he needed a new medication and his wound healed well by the time we picked him back up. Thank you everyone at Turquoise Animal Hospital for always taking such good care of Pinto 🩵
