How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Mountain Star Veterinary Specialists

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.

Such a great experience all around! Scheduling was easy, the Dr. Had already reviewed her previous records. He explained everything so well and we were able to get her in the same day. Her recovery was easy 💕 10 ⭐ all the way around!

We have been fortunate to have Doctor Chavkin in our puppies lives (and ours) since the 1990's. A lot has gone on in that time, but one of the most most reassuring constants has been Doctor Chavkin, and his care. The new facility is an amazing thing to behold, and it is wonderful to see Doctor Chavkin's dream become a reality. Do not hesitate to use Doctor Chavkin, or any specialist at Mountain Star. You will never go wrong, and more importantly, that great feeling will last you and your pet(s) a lifetime. Thank you from all of us.

This place is amazing. The staff and doctors are truly incredible - they care about you and your pet ! We have been working with Dr Chavkin for my dogs allergic Blepharitis - although- I didn’t know that until we went to see him. He’s thorough and caring! I highly recommend this veterinary office!

I’ve been waiting to write this review to give viewers my full experience with MSVS. Take away… outstanding! The first time I met the dermatologist, she was sitting on the floor next to my timid dog working to establish a safe connection. Dr. Diamond did her homework, and read/remembered every detail about my dog from the background questionnaire. Dr. Diamond’s expertise was evident in her questions, accurate diagnosis and treatment. After the exam and biopsy, our dog was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Dr. Diamond’s treatment plan has been excellent thus far. A change in medications has been key and my dog is now a different dog - happier, energetics, and healthier. The only regret I have is not seeing Dr. Diamond sooner.

Your staff and Dr Diamond were very respectful and responsive to our cats needs. We find the cost a bit prohibitive but we love Flash and feel he is part of our family. Thanks for your time on Friday.
