How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Vetco Vaccination Clinic

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

Careful ... Well my family and I decided to buy a package deal offered, as the stray kitten I caught was in need of medical attention and figured we'd save a couple bucks and get some extra attention for future protection it came to around 400$ after the first shots they told us keep and eye on her and don't return until at least a few weeks I then informed them I usually get texts informing me of upcoming appointments and that works as I do not like computers or emails only every few months or so they said they understood, I said okay thanked them and went home keeping on eye on her for any adverse reactions as that was on the paper... the only paper I walked out with besides my receipt. I called made an appointment and returned later as I had gotten zero contact from them, checked in they said they see the package deal ,I stated I'm here to finish that... then after waiting over an hour in line the veterinarians in the glass box informed me that too much time had passed and they couldn't honor the purchased package deal . I got the minimum required for her and my other cat, as to not hold all the other people up ... then at home I tried calling their main office ,they informed me that they will not administer the rest of the package deals medicine and that they also don't give any type of refunds ... I just wanted what I paid for ... Be careful if you choose the " package deals" there is no fine print to read unless you're computer savvy enough to find it. I won't be returning here .

Arrived on time for my appointment. Had to wait 27 minutes while walk ins were checked in ahead of me, then had to wait while all the walk ins were seen ahead of me. Basically an appointment time is useless since it seems walk ins are given priority. When my cat was eventually seen almost an hour past my appointment time everything went fine.

Very professional and great with my dog. Can't beat the prices too! Got him fully vaccinated and microchiped for a fraction of what the vet would charge. Will be returning for all my veterinary needs from now on.

0 STARS! Horrible Vet. I went to take my dog for shots and the staff was so unprofessional and made my dog's anxiety worse! Made me put a muzzle on her (after watching a 100lb dog not be muzzled for his shots) and the staff never greeted her when entering the exam room, making her anxiety worse! Needless to say they were too afraid to give her the shots. She's a sweet 55lb boxer/husky mix. They made sure to mark my dog's chart that she needs a muzzle and anxiety meds (which she has NEVER needed in the past- HAS NEVER WORE A MUZZLE IN HER 3 YEARS NOR TAKEN ANXIETY MEDS) Plus the woman giving the shots was so old and Shakey! Never going back there! Spend the extra money and go to your REAL vet.

Staff were gentle, patient, and friendly with my 6 Month old puppy. He had a great experience.
