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.

Staff is very pleasant and courteous. They explain everything in detail and break it down so you can understand. The answer all your question with acute animal knowledge. You get that HOME feeling like you and your pet are family. Very professional and they don't push you into doing tests. They explain all your options and YOU decide. Been there 3 times and was never disappointed. DEFINTELY RECOMMEND URGENT VET. This las t visit, GUS and HONEY were exceptional!

Today I took my baby boy to Urgent Vet around 3:30. He ruptured one of his glands last night and being that work in the field, I know he needed antibiotics asap to prevent infection in the open hole. Right off the bat everyone was very kind and patient with him and me. I saw Holly and Dr.Hedges. They were very sweet with him and I could hear them in the back telling him it was gonna be okay and he was a good boy during his treatment. He was probably the first case they saw today since they open at 3 and it’s definitely not one of the more glamorous parts of vet med.. but they were happy to be with him regardless. Holly talked me through the itemized bill so I understood what everything was and what it entailed. They gave me a full plan to do at home and gave him lots of love. He was much more anxious since this is obviously not his general vet, but I could tell he was as comfortable as he could be there. The only thing I will say, nothing to do with the people of course, is that their exam fee is a bit high for an urgent vet. I would expect that from an ER, but the exam alone was $135. Clip and clean and expression cost were expected for an urgent vet, but definitely pricier than a GP would be of course. These ladies are lovely and I would recommend this place based off the staff I met alone❤️🐾

I took my 15 year old dog there to be put to rest. They were all very empathetic and compassionate. They put my family and I in a quite comfortable room, a small family room. They had comfy dog bed, treats and blankets for your loved one. At the end, they take care of all the cremation arrangements. Even though of the terrible circumstances, everyone was great and made the process bearable.

Brought my cat in for blood in her urine, and was greeted with kind and caring employees! They helped diagnose a UTI and made my anxious cat feel very welcomed! The doc even called to check in on her the next day! Highly recommend this place for a nice calm environment for your fur babies!

InAig of 2025 I unfortunately had to put to sleep my 12 ur old dog due to a bleeding anal mass. The staff was wonderful. Last week I had to rush my exotic Micro bully for oxygen, it was very scary but the Dr and staff was Amazing. Today I had to bring him back, he was a bit nervous but he did Amazing due to having Holly as his tech and the Dr Hedges. Busta doesn't really like to be fussed over or treated. This boy was kissing his tech Holly so much. I was so content and extremely satisfied with the compassion both Dr Hedges and Holly had towards my baby and towards myself. ❤️
