How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Companion Animal Hospital
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.

I would have given 0 star if possible. Both vet and the staff are very rude and unprofessional. They said that they are doing a favor to us by approving our prescriptions from outside them. We spent so much time and efforts to order medications online at a good price. First, they took forever to even look at our prescriptions even after we called them every day for a week and then they just rejected them. I will not recommend them to anyone.

Not one to post poor reviews, but not happy with this place. Spent $410 for one visit, $80 for a bottle of shampoo for allergies, and when my dogs allergy meds ran out, they wanted another appt to check him out so they can prescribe again. Silly. I will go elsewhere. I found the vet that we had was underwhelming, I was there for medicine and she wanted to teach me how to train my dog...

We were introduced to Campanion Animal Hospital by way of the Meriden Humane Society in our recent adoption of our girl NOLA. She was spay and I must say they were very curtious and professional.

I was very concerned about my Chihuahua, Daisy loosing her canine tooth which had an anomaly that led to decay at the gum line. Daisy was born missing 12 teeth so she couldn't afford to loose anymore! Dr Herman and staff came highly recommended and I have to say I was very impressed. The staff was friendly and I really liked Dr Herman at our first exam. I wasn't rushed and Daisy really liked her. I read other reviews and I felt very confident when I dropped Daisy off in the morning. During the day Dr Herman, personally called me to reassure me that the tooth could be filled, as I had requested and she was very kind. Dr Herman also cleaned Daisys teeth as part of the procedure and they look beautiful. While Daisy was under, she trimmed Daisy's nails and cleaned her ears... complimentary. Post procedure, Dr Herman took the time to go over the X-rays and photos of what was done and the over all condition of Daisy's teeth. I even got a set of X-rays and photos to bring home. I think her pricing was very good and I have dental cleanings for my other dogs elsewhere and it was more expensive. But I am coming to Companion from now on. I know if I had brought Daisy to a regular vet they would have watched the tooth overtime and then recommend extracting when it was decayed. I love that the tooth could be filled and saved! I think it looks perfect(See photo). Dental health is so important for us as well as our pets and I highly recommend Dr Herman and am very grateful for the work she does and I know so is Daisy. Thank you so much

They do not have flexibility when it comes to sick or emergency visits. Prices for vaccines are not discussed ahead of time.
