How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Stenner Creek 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

Best team I could ask for. When I came in wondering if my dog needed a skin-tag removed, they got me in right away. They quickly located and surgically removed 3 tumors before I had time to worry. This surgery most definitely saved my baby, and I will be forever grateful. Surgery was smooth, I felt deeply cared for, and my dog is recovering quickly. Trust Stenner Creek Animal Hospital with all of your pets! THANK YOU.

*For the Vaccine Clinic and Staff* My credibility to support these claims is that I've been to a lot of vets and also I've worked at two really amazing dog kennels, still do! We came in today, Saturday around 12:30pm, thirty minutes before they closed. I think the front desk was amazing at greeting the customers, taking the time to be efficient with her and my time. There was already two groups ahead of us and then another group came in after. So, I thought they would be pretty slammed with only 30 minutes left in their work day. But to my surprise, they were very efficient and we were out of there by 1:07. I let the staff know I really appreciated them staying after and they were gentle and kind with my 1 year old beagle. She didn't even feel the shots being administered! Thank you to our Vet Tech! They don't require a first exam for your dogs before doing the vaccines, which I love! It basically takes off like $100+ from your growing vet bills for our furry friends. Not only that is they charged me around $95 for four vaccines: DHPP, Rabies, Bordatella and Lepto. I've been to other clinics and they are about the same price as going here. So might as well get established as a client while you're getting your fido's vaccines. We will be having an exam within the next month. I will post again about the next time I come in! Seems like they really just are trying to make vet care more affordable for everyone.

The staff is great, however, they currently have a replacement vet, who seems not to be interested in the general well being of our pets. He refuses to wear a mask properly and spent almost no time with my dog. I would not go back until the regular vet comes back.

We have been going here for the past few months for all of our animals needs and honestly We have had such a great high quality experience. We found some things about our cat that were so troubling but they were there to help us figure out the best outcomes for her. Just to know that they care so much about the animals. Knowing that We are in good hands , we definitely recommend Stenner Creek with their Staff and having Dr. O’Reilly who is so knowledgeable and understanding we are so happy to have this place. -Al & Liz

Unfortunately we HAD to come here due to no other vets being available this week. The only friendly people in the staff here are the receptionist Alicia and the NURSE who came out as we were already leaving (she was in a surgery but VERY sweet) Dr was not very friendly upon meeting my Husband and I, he didn’t give us any info, asked us what’s up with the types of treats we feed him ?? And then went on. My poor baby was whimpering the whole time , the Dr never greated my dog by name upon meeting him ? The staff was not telling him it’s ok enough and the fact that the Dr was not even the one who’s name is on the desk/paperwork/billing isn’t even there!!! I sadly don’t recommend this place to anyone! Yikes!! Thumbs down x5
