How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Companion Animal Dental Services
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.

By far, the BEST, most comprehensive dental services, and likely the best medical customer service I've ever received (for human or animal)! I was impressed by the level of detail, care, and follow up. And surprisingly, less expensive than similar services at my vet. Highly recommended! Dr. Herrman, her office manager and staff were all kind, friendly and professional, and i felt that I was receiving customized care for my pet. Skip your regular vet and get all pet dental care here! You get an initial exam (no sedation) and consult with Dr. Herrman, and leave with a detailed report of what was found, with great photos of the teeth (my vet was impressed with these, especially considering that the dog wasn't sedated), and very clear instructions on prep for the procedure and what to expect! The day of the dental cleaning and/or surgery, the doctor personally called me after they took the xrays, to let me know exactly what was found and her surgical plan of action. After the detal cleaning and surgery, I got a second call from Dr Herrman letting me know how it went and how my dog was doing in recovery. That day, I received a detailed report, which included what was done, before-and-after photos, and post-operative care instructions. Lastly, you also get a follow-up appointment, where Dr. Herrman examines how the surgucal site healing is progressing, and goes over proper home dental care. This was so different from a previous dental cleaning experience (at a regular vet), where there was no pre-consult, no detailed report or pics, no review of home dental care practices, and where I was told to just drop off the dog and later pick him up (they extracted 6 teeth, but no post-op follow-up). I didn't even know that such specialized services were available. I only discovered this because my senior dog has kidney disease, and my regular vet had recommended consulting a dental specialist because their expertise and efficiencty would minimize the time that my dog would be under anesthetic.

We traveled 90 minutes to this practice and it was absolutely worth it! The doctors and staff were so welcoming and very helpful. They made a treatment plan specific to our cat's needs, complete with X-rays and clear photographs pre and post surgery. Communication before, during, and after the surgery was extremely helpful. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for high quality dental care.

Nothing but amazing things to say about Dr. Herrman and her team! My girl finally has relief from the tooth condition that I can only assume was causing her a lot of pain because now she is the most vibrant happy kitty again! I would 100% recommend companion animal dental. They are thorough and made me feel completely comfortable leaving her in their care

Great experience with everyone. I shopped around for my dogs dental care and am very happy we did. This is what they specialize in and only this. Their prices were the best around and even though my little guy had to get some teeth removed (6) their fees were around the same as others just for the cleaning. Will definitely be coming back as I appreciate their care and expertise. Also book early as the book up far in advance.

I took my recently adopted cat, Mervin, to Companion Animal Dental Services for a full mouth extraction due to dental disease and stomatitis. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The team was incredibly thorough and clearly passionate about the pets they treat, providing a level of care that exceeded my expectations! While they do book up quickly, I appreciated their willingness to accommodate our schedule by calling us when cancellations arose. Mervin received top-notch care, and their detailed, itemized cost breakdown was transparent and straightforward. I noticed a previous review mentioning concerns about the clinic “holding their pet until payment,” but it seemed that reviewer may not have fully understood the paperwork provided by the vet. The clinic clearly outlines their policies, and I had no issues in that regard. Mervin's case had its challenges, but he ended up on the lower end of the initial quote, which was a pleasant surprise. The paperwork we received included clear instructions for pre-surgery medication, drop-off, and expectations for pick-up and payment. When I picked him up the Vet discussed the surgery and clearly outlined aftercare that I was responsible for. She made it clear that I could call if I had any questions or concerns as he was healing. We visited for the follow up and they did a thorough check and ensured he was healing properly. The drive from Southern Connecticut was absolutely worth it for the excellent care Mervin received. I highly recommend Companion Animal Dental Services for anyone seeking compassionate and professional dental care for their pets.
