How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Natural Veterinary Therapy
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 Annette Richmond is Extremely Caring and thorough. She even emailed us back with details and explanations for golden retriever Piya! Another huge plus is that she is knowledgeable on natural treatments when appropriate. Would definitely recommend Dr Richmond!!! Office staff is wonderful.

Dr. Richmond and her staff are such a great team. Our dogs love to go for their acupuncture appointments! This clinic is like the "secret spot" as surfers would say. They offer loads of holistic supplements, a chest full of raw food, titer testing, laser therapy, water therapy, chiropractic and much, much. Dr. Richmond and Dr. Deb Sell have been a Godsend for our pack. Love, love, love this place!! It's fun to sit in the parking lot and watch the dogs literally drag their guardians INTO her clinic, it tells me a lot about a person!

I was a total skeptic, but did the non-anesthetic dental cleaning for both our Malteses & am totally pleased! MUCH less expensive & better for the dogs to boot! The clinic is very conservative in their healthcare treatment. They will do everything they can to keep the dogs in good health without unnecessary or overly expensive & cumbersome procedures. I've lived in the area for a year now & have been to numerous different vets trying to find the one I was most comfortable with. Natural Vet Therapy is it. My pups & I will be doing our business here from now on. Lastly, this is the first vet that my dogs actually get excited to see, lol! They don't get skittish & yank on the leases when we are coming up to the door. The last time we were here we caught Dr. Richmond outside & they ran up to her like they do with family members. They have never done that in a veterinary office or to their workers ever in their 10 years as our dogs. Seriously so impressed. A great place with a great veterinary practitioner.

This is an absolutely amazing place. Dr. Richmond is a kind, caring, highly competent veterinarian who practices in a very holistic manner. She has been extremely helpful with me. My corgi has received acupuncture, wellness care, and rehab services, and they have all been first rate.

I took my senior cat for an exam and teeth cleaning, which most vets do only with general anesthesia. Dr Richmond and her staff did a wonderful job, treating him gently and giving him a needed cleaning without medication.
