How to Save on Veterinary Costs at PetMed Veterinary Urgent Care
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 cannot say enough good things about Dr. Ethan McEnroe and his staff. My Oliver was not well, we didn't know what was wrong as it was not his normal Frenchie issues. Sadly it was a mass on his small intestine and Dr. Ethan did emergency surgery the next am. It was complicated but he did such a fine job that my Oliver is recovering very well. Dr, Ethan has checked in with us many times and has been so informative about everything. Cancer is the big concern now and he has gone above and beyond helping navigate our somewhat complicated situation. I have been so grateful and impressed with his help and compassion. My boy is now 8 days post surgery and improving daily, in fact he is being a bit ornery which is a great sign. Next we face oncology but with the excellent support from Dr. Ethan we are headed in the right direction although praying for a miracle. Pic is of my boy Oliver that they sent me post surgery. Update- NO CANCER!!!! Best call ever from Dr. Ethan.. I think he was as surprised as we were..

Thanks to Dr. Ethan and his wonderful staff our beloved bird was saved and is now doing well. The clinic is brand new and beautiful. Our community really needed an urgent care veterinarian. If your animal is injured or suddenly ill and your usual vet can't give you an appointment for days or weeks it is such a relief to know this clinic is here. And such a great bonus that they treat chickens and other birds as well as dogs and cats. Thank you!

Dr. Ethan fit us in within 30 minutes after I called. He was caring, attentive and took our Shih Tzu Bailey’s treatment step by step, being conservative but effective with treatment recommendations. He took pictures to show me and after treatment and discharge, followed up well after hours a day later to see how she was doing. And we have a follow up appt. in a week. He is better than most vets I’ve seen over the years. I also loved how he wanted to run his opinion by his colleague who specializes in her specific urgent situation, just to be sure he was giving us the most expert path for healing. 5 stars! Can I give 10? - Jody Bayliss

We are very grateful that we took Lily, our 9yo pocket beagle, to be treated by Dr. McEnroe. He and his staff were very caring and I would recommend the Petmed Urgent Care for anyone in need of urgent care and ongoing care for their pet. We were on vacation and needed immediate care. Dr McEnroe assessed and diagnosed the issue, provided the appropriate medications for Lily. If we lived in SLO or surrounding communities, he would be our veterinarian.

We received truly amazing service and care. Dr. Ethan is a fantastic communicator and vet. He explained thoroughly, yet in a way we could understand, all that was going on with our cat. He explained the pros and cons of all our options and did a great job diagnosing and nursing our cat back to health. Also the clinic was clean! We highly recommend PetMed Urgent Care!
