How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Laurelwood Veterinary Clinic

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.

Dr Weber is wonderful and very helpful! Our dog Quinn is also taken care of as much as possible when we need to visit.

Our dogs (cola and sprite), Pomeranians, constantly visit this clinic and they love it. We also did their spay and neuter there too. All of their staff love the dogs and they are super friendly.

The staff at Laurelwood Veterinary Clinic are very friendly and personal. They have taken good care of my dog for over 14 years. I enjoy the conversations that have been had over the years. My dog ended up passing away last year. They were so kind and took care of everything. I recently got a puppy and we are back at Laurelwood. I trust them and know they will provide the best care for my pet.

We adopted an 8-year old dog who has been seen at this clinic. I needed a refill of the flea and tick med she takes. Dr Weber was attentive and friendly.

My wife and I like Dr. Weber quite a bit. She is fair and transparent about her cost [not the cheapest but not the most expensive]. We feel get good quality care for our dog [mixed poodle/bichon]. As an aside, owning a pet is a responsibility; if you have the audacity to think you can care for another life then be a responsible person and look up the costs and time needed to be a reliable guardian. We were not surprised that vet care is costly because we did our research ahead of time. While vet care definitely hits our wallets we decided, as we adopted him, that we will be accountable for the cost of his care. At any rate, our dog had to get all his upper teeth extracted due to an infection he likely developed as a stray [we adopted a year earlier from the SPCA]. The whole surgery was expensive but Dr. Weber was very upfront with the estimated cost and gave us ample warning the procedure was nearly unavoidable during prior visits. The surgery went well, the office followed up with us routinely, and now -- several weeks later -- our little guys is much happier for it.
