How to Save on Veterinary Costs at CareFur Veterinarians
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.

We are so fortunate to have the top notch veterinarians of Carefur in our area. They are skilled, caring, reasonably priced professionals in a state of the art facility. We visited this morning with Callahan our cat to have a hemotoma aspirated. We cannot speak highly enough of this group! Callahan the cat with her new "pretty" face is shown. Thank you Dr. Wood.

Dr Wood and his staff are AMAZING!!!!! I am conflicted with sending this review as I am afraid he will get bombarded with new clients and it will be difficult for us to get an appointment! However, I must do the review as I am so incredibly thankful for finding him and Dr Gross who also works at Guilford Veterinary Hospital. She is the reason I found Dr. Wood. She saved my dog's life when she came down with some sort of respiratory issue. This combined team, plus their staff are extraordinary. They spend the time to get to know your pet and they are truly vested in your pet's well being. I have never met a team of people who were so dedicated and compassionate.

I love this place, everyone has so much compassion and kindness towards your pet. All my questions were answered and I never felt rushed. They even helped put my elderly dog in the car. I left feeling very relaxed and happy that my boy was getting the best care.

What an awesome group of people! From the first woman who answered the phone through the Vet Tech's, and the Dr we spoke with. Everyone was friendly, communicative, supportive and truly animal people who have found their calling. Can thank you enough for taking care of my pup this afternoon. The facility was clean, bright, inviting and comforting. There wasn't a moment of doubt that we were in the right place for the care she needed.

I don't even know where to start singing praises about our experience so far at Care Fur in Madison. Being a reactive dog mom wasn't really on my radar, but here we are... my sweet sweet Saint Bernard Buster, all 180 pounds of fear reactivity mixed with every health problem you can think of can be a challenge. To even say the word vet put him AND myself into panic. But unfortunately having all the health problems he does, finding a vet we can work with is a priority. From my first phone call to them-- me broke down in tears out of frustration from past vet experiences, including putting off some care from seriously traumatizing visits-- I knew we were going to be OK here. Michelle just got me, understood, and I could tell she was genuinely empathetic. So we booked our first visit. Well I had no idea we would find ourselves basically having a red carpet put out for us on our first visit. Accommodating I find to be an understatement. The whole staff worked together to put me at ease, therefore calming my raging beast of a dog lol. Now the true Godsend was when Dr Wood came into the room. We call him (Dr Doolittle lol) Patient, kind, compassionate... and extremely in tune with Buster! His team, Hollie and Emma deserve huge kudos too! We always feel they care for Buster the same as they would their own pets. Over the course of a few visits, I can't even explain how magically things have changed with Busters health, and more importantly behavior. We are truly blessed to have found our furever animal team 💙
