How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Avocado Animal Hospital

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.

We all love our Fur Babies. It's nice to know that the staff of Avocado Animal Hospital do too. I needed a new vet doctor for my new baby, Dobby, and they were fantastic. Professional and caring staff. Prices were reasonable for services. Highly recommend! Dobby gives his stamp of approval.

An amazing vet clinic, the staff is very friendly and helpful especially in stressful situations. The Veterinarians are extremely knowledgeable and explain everything very well. The prices are very reasonable, but I would strongly recommend making an appointment do not just walk in unless you are willing to wait 3+ hours, and if it's an emergency call on your way there so they are expecting you. And they see more than just cat's and dog's which is amazing!!! Highly recommend

My wife brung in my 3yo yorkie terrier mix in today 7/22/23 where he had started throwing up blood and from the rear,she was told they cant see him that they already had an emergency and told to go to another vet.Well my wife drove 30 min and was seen at another busy Vet clinic because they saw the urgency and later that day my dog passed away.I just think that it was very Unethical of what happened here and maybe just maybe you at Avocado Hospital could had gave him a chance!!!RIP Jasper😪

My dog died unexpectedly, and I called Avocado Animal Hospital to obtain information on his cremation. My dog was not a patient of theirs, but the staff were attentive and compassionate. They allowed me to cry on the phone and aided me with information on his cremation. When I went to pick up my dogs remains, someone left a baby kitten (born within a couple of hours) with the receptionist with a promise to return with a bottle and milk. She took the kitten without judgment and made sure the kitten got the care it needed even though the man didn't return. I noticed that each staff member had a special relationship with several animals that came in for services that Saturday, which made me feel they genuinely care for the animals. I will ensure that Avacodo Animal Hospital is my permanent veterinarian once I decide to get another dog.

The first place one gets to know what a place is about when calling in or walking in. The experience I have is calling them today on 17 JUL 2023 between 2:55-3:03 PM, the receptionist picked-up the call, said something rapidly, did not even ask for my name, and put me on hold just a quickly as she picked the phone up. About 3-4 min later that same receptionist I guess picked up the phone, noticed that there was still someone still on-hold, and put the line on hold right away. If there was any advise I would give is, fire that receptionist and get someone who cares for your current or prospective clients. Do not hire anyone like her (I managed to hear the voice, so I know that much, that it was a female) and then maybe you'll get some decent reviews at the entry point. With this caller, you did not even give the chance to inquire about the needed services.
