How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Coastal Veterinary Care

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

Tracy is really an amazing vet and an amazing human! She is so understanding and compassionate to my furry babies and me, lol! She always finds time to chat with me about just normal stuff, not just pet stuff. My Sadie and Lucy are my world, and they get the best care at Coastal. I am always thankful to have the best vet in Dunedin! Thank you Tracy and the staff at Coastal!

We recently moved to the area and got referred to Coastal Veterinary Care…thank goodness we did! The office is very clean and cute, but the best part is Dr. Morris and her lovely staff. They were all so warm and welcoming to me and my dogs, taking the time to really listen and be present with us during our appointment. They seemed very sincere and truly care about the animals they treat. I’m so grateful to have found them and to have a veterinary clinic I can trust.

I am very happy to have been referred to Coastal Veterinary Care when I needed to find a new vet for my Willow. She is very fear aggressive, not the easiest dog to handle but this clinic is always adept at handling her so she can get the best care she deserves!

If you need a new Vet, look no further!! every single staff member at Coastal is amazing. I can not thank Dr. Tracey and her team more. On Monday 8/7 our 10 week old kitten Oliver was bit by a dog. I’ve never experienced such panic and fear. I didn’t even put shoes on we just ran to the car we live only 2 minutes away from coastal so I took him straight there. The staff immediately jumped into action and saved ollie’s life!! The emergency vet we went to after even told us that Dr Tracy did all of the work and they were just watching him over night. Coastal’s team worked with me financially and called who they needed to call in order to help him and us. As horrific as this situation was, i’m so beyond thankful and blessed to have found such an amazing vet. I don’t think we would be here snuggling our boy if it wasn’t for every single person at coastal. Four days later Ollie is back to himself, His swelling is down, he’s eating, playing, drinking water. He has a couple fractures that we are closely monitoring but besides that he is back to the sweet loving boy he was before the accident. I could write a book about this place. PLEASE take your pets here!! you will not regret it!!
