How to Save on Veterinary Costs at DeSoto Animal 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

Consider pet insurance

I've tried a lot of vets since moving back into town, and thankfully have now settled at the clinic we used almost 23 years ago for our cats and beloved Golden Retriever, Ginger. What I found is that the current staff is every bit as kind as they were back then, and having tried many vets recently am glad that I'm back here. Prices are reasonable, and I can say that from a position of knowledge having been to at least four other vets - wish I came here first. And, they always try hard to work you in. I've had to use the emergency vet service when the time came for my 19 year old kitty, and they were super compassionate - I was a mess. Now I will be returning with my four kitties (3 youngins, 1- 14 yr old). Just called and going to get worked in tomorrow for a likely bladder infection on Whiskers, my 2 yr old male. What a nice receptionist, nice Dr's - you guys have got it right! Glad I'm back home - thanks for doing what you do!

My English Springer Spaniel, 15 years old, was ready to cross the rainbow bridge. I can't say enough about the compassion, kindness and respect for my loving, loyal friend and companion and us given by the staff during her last moments.

Wonderful as an emergency clinic and as my regular vet too - I’ve used them for both! Very reasonable when taking my kittens in for their shots and check-up, also for my little girl’s spaying. I can always get in there at a reasonable time, unlike some other offices where I WAS a regular client! Professional and kind office staff, clean and well-kept clinic. Highly recommended!

Caring staff and excellent dr. Very efficient and fast. Very little wait time Rocky was able to get an appointment within a couple of days for a follow-up. The hospital is open 24/7 and has access to his records regardless of the day or night in case of emergency. They are a joy to visit. Prices are reasonable, too.

I'm kind of torn right now. And what I actually think about this clinic. It did take them 2 visits to isolate the problem. And after the second visit where they diagnosed the issue, My puppy was being prepped for surgery Within that hour period. It was very serious and by taking a wait and see approach It was almost the end of my dog's life period. They found the problem by taking a simple xray. Even in a life-and-death situation, they want their money first. I give their bedside manner a C, Is the quality of work A. I do have another issue that came up with my pup again. I emailed the owner last night. Let's see how it gets handled. I will let this application know everything.
