How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Arboles Animal 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.

My very elderly mother lost her license, but when I had to leave town while mother’s dog was under Dr. Bremer’s care, the staff offered to come pick them up and bring them in if anything happened. What vet does that? Outstanding! I love that they are family owned and have been around for decades. My previous vet was bought out by a corporation and the whole place became impersonal and rates went through the roof. I like that when Dr. Bremer’s office gives an estimate, they offer a best case scenario and a not so great scenario for care. I also like the discounts. Over the winter they offered 20% off canine dentistry as well as a deep discount on NexGard, our dogs’ flea & tick med. They also have a senior discount upon asking. They have a sign posted in the office for discounted vet meds you can get online with their prescription. Again, how rare is that? Most importantly, the care is exceptional. Dr. Bremer has never had a misdiagnosis with our dogs and he and the staff are always gentle with them. When you go, say hello to the fearless office cat. I can’t recall his name, but this is one cool cat.

Dr. Bremer is kind of a superstar. My dog, Rocky, has a heart murmur. His heart has enlarged. From everything I've read his days are numbered. I switched from a nearby animal hospital because they refused to continue a prescription after his doctor left her practice at that location just a couple of months after he'd been examined and diagnosed. More money was the name of the game. They were good enough to transfer medical records after a few calls. The people at Arboles Animal Clinic picked up the ball and their care and accomplished ability to remember Rocky's name and condition has been impressive. Dr. Bremer's care and compassion has made me a customer for life. Rocky's time is clearly limited; he's been prescribed a medication that will ease his life. It's a class 2 narcotic that requires regular written prescriptions. Dr. Bremer provides the written prescription monthly without additional charge or complaint. He regularly asks about Rocky's condition, and just today reassured me that quality of life is the key. If you want personal care - a staff that remembers your pet by name - Arboles Animal Clinic is for you! The prices are reasonable and they discuss them with you beforehand. Ask for Nate! These people are amazing. Rocky is the one of the left (photo below).

Terrible experience. The vet was unprofessional. He barely looked at me or spoke. New to the area, my dog needed continuing care for chronic health issues, so I was looking to establish with a new vet. I told him my dogs left ear was dirty, he wasn’t letting me clean it enough and that he has had infections there, but he didn’t even look at it. Later, after I finally got the ear cleaned on my own, it looks like he does have an infection but going to the vet this morning didn’t help with that. The vet just tested my dogs joints a little, them said “order labs and x-rays” to the tech, and left the room.

My experience at Arboles has been nothing but positive. I have hung in there while the hospital has changed ownership three times and am so glad that I did. Dr. Bremer is a keeper. He is attentive to the needs of my pets and treats us like we are part of the family. June, Laura Leigh and Nate are awesome…..always welcoming and compassionate. As my animals are aging they are needing more and more constant care. I call often for a word of encouragement or advice and it is always given freely. My prescriptions are always ready and waiting and they are always there for us. If you want to feel like part of a family where your pet will be, genuinely, cherished and cared for….you've just come home.

I rescued two premature kittens. The clinic provided outstanding service and helped me in all of their needs which included full immunization and helping me to care for them. They taught me how to bottle feed and provided me with all the info and answered all of my questions thoroughly and promptly. My kittens are now thriving and are happy and healthy and it’s due to their love and care and support. The staff are friendly and caring and genuinely have the well-being in mind of each and every animal that walks into in their clinic. I could not be happier and would recommend Arboles Animal Clinic to anyone without hesitation!!
