How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Marin Pet 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.

When our former vet sold his business to a large chain owned by NY investors, there was a high personnel turnover and prices skyrocketed. Our new Rough Collie needed to be fixed and the old clinic on D Street made an outrageous estimate. We hunted around, looking at reviews and websites and called several for estimates. Marin Pet Hospital was well-reviewed, professional, polite, and responsive, even in the midst of COVID restrictions. We didn’t necessarily want the cheapest operation — we love and care for our Collie. But we also didn’t want to unnecessarily transfer our money into the pockets of super rich investor who care only about the money and push managers to treat pet care like a factory operation. Turned out to be a great choice. Great personnel, personal service, even follow-up calls to see how he’s doing. We’ve now switched our Bearded Collie over, as well. The only reason we haven’t rated this at five stars is that we’re such new clients, but I have every expectation of raising it to five stars over time.

I've been going to Marin Pet Hospital for over ten years. They are no nonsense, friendly, and very good at the way they give information. They don't pressure me into anything. They give price point options and have Been the most affordable Vet in Marin. This is where staff from Marin Humane Society brings their personal pets.

Our go-to place for both our cats. They take the time to explain what is happening, and answer all our questions. They have accommodated same day appointments, and respond well over the phone to see if coming in is necessary.

Thank you Dr. Sholin for your expertise, compassion, excellent communication and understanding of Mer’s health condition and crisis. You were so helpful in your diagnosis and suggestions during and at the end of Mer’s life on Friday 07/16/21. We were so fortunate and very grateful that you were available and newly working at Marin Pet Hospital, prior to his demise. We cannot thank you enough for your excellent care of our beloved cat. You’re the best! Charles and Mary Ann O’Neill
