How to Save on Veterinary Costs at UrgentVet
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.

Treated my old dog with kindness and sent us home with treatment and follow up. The price wasn’t outrageous and I feel they did the best they could with the situation presented. I really appreciate them being open later and so close to home. The wait was longer than I liked but that is to be expected on a Friday night. Thank you for treating Wilbur and calming his mama’s nerves.

5 month old puppy ate my beauty blender (makeup sponge) & something told me maybe this isn’t one of those things where we moniter for a few days to see how she goes becuase I know since she swallowed it whole it wouldn’t be any good in her system especially that it was a sponge and very absorbing. I rushed over to induce throwing up since it had just been about an hour or so and right away they attended us, and got it OUT! Price was cheaper than the other places for amazing service so I would definitely be recommending this place. Lastly, they even called me day after to check on her health to see see how she was doing after the visit. I loved that 🩵 very friendly staff super cool & easy going people

The staff was very helpful carrying our dog into the facility. I recommend they get a wagon for emergency situations. Our family dog got into some contaminants at home and the vet was able to quickly assess the situation. Although they were closing I found the vet to be very sensitive to our situation. Because of her recommendations we were able to get overnight care, and she is doing great now! I highly recommend this place.

I don’t write reviews often, and I especially don’t like writing negative ones. But even after two months, I still feel strongly about our experience. I chose UrgentVet based on its great reviews. Our 14-year-old Pomeranian, Jack, suddenly collapsed at home, and it was obvious he is not well. At the time, I had no idea what had happened—I only knew he had collapsed and needed medical attention. He had severe anxiety when it came to vet visits. We had to wait quite a while in exam room before being seen, which made his anxiety even worse. The veterinarian told us he needed oxygen and chest X-rays, but because they were unable to handle him due to his anxiety, neither was done. The vet mentioned that it might have been a syncopal episode but couldn’t be certain without being able to perform the necessary diagnostics. We left without any treatment or answers. The next morning, I found another veterinary clinic that agreed to see him the same day. They were incredibly patient and compassionate. They successfully gave him oxygen, took chest X-rays without any problems, diagnosed him with an enlarged heart and early heart failure, and confirmed that he had most likely experienced a syncopal episode. He was started on the medications he needed immediately. I understand that anxious dogs can be challenging, but I was disappointed that there didn’t seem to be another approach or any attempt to help him when he was clearly in distress. Sadly, Jack passed away a few weeks later due to his heart disease. I hope this feedback encourages the clinic to consider different ways of helping very anxious dogs, especially when they are experiencing a medical emergency. No pet should leave an urgent care clinic without receiving the treatment they need simply because they are frightened.

We found a nasty hot spot on my dog on a Sunday afternoon. We had a busy week ahead and weren’t sure when we’d be able to get in with our vet to have her seen. Someone mentioned Urgent Vet was open on Sundays. We went to their website and scheduled our arrival. We walked in, sat down and were called in to a room within 5 mins. We waited about 20 mins to see the vet tech. He took our pups vitals a detailed the issue. The doc was in about 10 mins later and check the hot spot. She talked us through a treatment plan and answered all of our questions. They brought our dog out back and cleaned and shaved the area. They gave us all the meds and explained the dosage and schedule. We were in and out in under 90 mins. It was more affordable than I anticipated. Someone even called the next day to check on her.
