How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Meriden 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.

Love this practice!!! Even when they are booking out a week if you have an urgent need they seem to come up with an option that always seems to work!! Dr Anderson is very compassionate and understanding. You can see her love for pets in the way she cares for them!! My dog loves her and she is awesome with her!!

I have been going here for over 30 years and I wouldn't bring my fur babies anywhere else. Dr. James is the best! He ALWAYS takes the best care of my babies. He takes whatever time it takes to do what needs to be done to make them better and never rushes. Because of him my Murphy is feeling soooo much better.

Thank you all so much for taking care of Jessie! He’s more comfortable outdoors being fed by the patrons of Meriden it seems, but hopefully we’ll be in soon for the rest of his treatment (meaning he slipped his collar and now hangs out at the local AJ’s🤦🏾♂️). I can’t help but think that maybe it’s a good thing that we didn’t get him declawed before he was ready for the indoors life…. Haha, anyway— the staff is very patient, warm and welcoming! And the rooms were absolutely spotless! I learned a lot about my furry friend from the techs 😄 See you all very soon! #happycustomer! Here’s some pictures of the weekend he came indoors 😃

Our visit was amazing! The staff was super friendly making sure my baby was very comfortable. The Dr. Was super helpful in educating me; as well as coming up with a plan for Amber. I'm excited to know she has a wonderful treatment team for her primary. Thank you for caring for my pup and the excellent work you all continue to do to care for each animal!!! THE WORLD NEEDS YOU!! We appreciate your time and diligent work.

Terrible terrible staff, Dr James is wonderful Best Vet I evert had and it saddens me that because of the incompetence of the staff my 2 dogs and 4 cats have to find another vet. Nikki and Lee are not sympathetic, nor are they understanding. They absolutely the rudest people I have encountered, and lack good Customer Service experience.
