How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Bear Creek Veterinary Care

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

We recently had to put our beloved 15 year old Red Bone Hound/Labrador mix, Hazel, to "sleep." Always a heart wrenching experience, to say a final goodbye to a family member! Bear Creek Veterinary Care's staff and physician made it as sweet as they could. They gave her cheez-whiz and whipped cream to distract her from the IV insertion. After not eating for a few days, she was able to eat that up. They gave us all the time we needed, after working us in on a busy Monday schedule. I highly recommend them for any and all of your pet's needs. Thank you ALL at Bear Creek Veterinary Care for your compassion towards us and helping our sweet Hazel gently exit her painful body. The ashes and paw print were a comfort when we received them 5 days later. ❤️

I’m not extremely worldly in the sense I haven’t dealt with a massive list of different vets, but, they always make it so my best friend is happy and healthy. Every visit makes me feel like they care more about my pets health than the bill at the end, and that to me is worth it’s weight in gold.

Dr. Unsell and the staff here have taken such good care of my cat when she needed it most! Every approach taken and suggestion given had her as well as myself in mind. I always feel extremely comfortable taking my animals here as I know they’ll be under the best care possible by the best people.

The care we received from the Bear Creek Vet was always the best. Everyone at the practice was always super knowledgeable and helpful whenever we called or visited. As a military family, it is always difficult finding a new vet that cares for your pet like their own and the Bear Creek Vet did just that. Although it was a little more expensive, we were always happy to pay the extra money for the exceptional service they provided. Any time we had an emergency or needed care right away, they were able to fit us in. In addition to great care in office, they always called to follow up after visits to make sure that our pet was doing well. We miss this vet clinic and will have a difficult time finding anything comparable at our future locations.

Oh the amount of tears I have typing this. Words can not even express how blessed my family is to have such an amazing team not only care for our fur babies but the amount of love they have for them as well. This past Tuesday was such a hard day for us as we had to say goodbye to the most wonderful & beautiful bestfriend we could ever have. Every single person in there showed us so much love & even kept our 5 year old daughter busy to keep her mind off of what was happening, and for that I can’t even thank them enough. We had the greatest opportunity to adopt our sweet angel a year ago. But with that came a lot of complications but we knew we were ready for whatever was to come because we just knew we needed her just as much as she needed us. This team has been by our side and cared for & loved our Sage from the very moment she walked through that door until the very last day she couldn’t come back home. Thank you all so much for your kind words and keeping our family in your thoughts. And the one quote I’ll never forget the day we had to say our last goodbye from one of the sweetest ladies “Who saved who?” 😭 Thank you all from the Beltz Family
