How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Companion 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.

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

Dr. Colburn is a superb veterinarian, in my opinion. She focuses 100 percent on your pet, analyzes with data but also has a keen intuition as well. The best vet in the desert, if you ask me. Staff is friendly, kind and efficient. Highly recommend.

I took my dog there as an emergency to be seen because he wasn’t acting himself and he had developed two large masses on his chest. The receptionist Ally was so warm and kind and she helped us get an appointment as quickly as possible, and the vet techs took him and took care of him right away until the Doctor arrived. And Dr. Robinson was so amazing!! From the way she explained everything with complete honesty to me, and the way she took care of and had her techs take care of Richard... I am truly appreciative. They stayed almost 3 hours after closing when his abscess ruptured, just to make sure he was treated and safe to be taken home. I am so grateful to everyone who was there that night!! I apologize, but I do not remember the techs that were helping my dog, or the incredible sweet receptionist who stayed late as well and never seemed irritated or upset with me that they had to work overtime.. just truly wanted to help. I can’t say enough great things about Companion Animal Clinic!! I will always refer them to anyone I know. And you can’t beat their prices, because they are EXTREMELY AFFORDABLE!!! I have never been to a vet clinic that was so affordable, and I’m truly appreciative of that as well! I just love them, and my dog, Richard loves them all too!! 🥰 Attached is a picture of my dog after his treatment that night! 😁

The Doctor is very knowledgeable, friendly and thorough. The tech was very nice. The front staff were all nice too. I had a very short wait time in a pleasant waiting room. And most importantly, they took great care of my cat, George.

The most behavior savvy, proactive treatment, and communicative clinic in a several hour radius. My animals LOVE the staff so do I and my family. It's always immaculate and the staff are amazing. The vets are A+++! I adore this clinic and I highly recomend.

Apparently a dog in severe pain isn't an emergency and they are booked out a month. One vet no staff. Rude receptionist who hates her life. Shut this place down. This place and vca is all we have out here! Rediculous!
